Evaluation criteria:
A test material is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) It induces a number of revertant colonies, dose related, greater than two-times the number of revertants induced by the solvent control in any of the test strains, either with or without metabolic activation.
b) The positive response should be reproducible in at least two separated experiments.
Statistics:
Mean values was calculated. The statistical analysis was not used.

Additional information on results:
PRECIPITATION
Precipitation on the plates was observed at 2500 and 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
Growth inhibition by the test material was observed in S. typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) with and without metabolic activation. Therefore, as the highest dose level of the test material in the main test, the dose at which the growth inhibition was observed was selected for S. typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100).

CONTROL SUBSTANCES:
All positive control substances gave increases in revertants, both with and without metabolic activation, within expected ranges, and solvent control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range.
Remarks on result:
other: All strains/cell types tested
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)
