Description of key information
Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohydrolase was tested for genotoxicity using the Ames assay.
The results of the bacterial mutagenicity tests gave no indication of the presence of mutagenic components in amylase, batch PPY32896, when tested under the conditions applied in this study, in the presence and absence of S-9.

- Version / remarks:
- July, 1997
- Deviations:
- no
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The ‘treat and plate’ method was used in each test to avoid the possibility that bio-available histidine in the test item might compromise the test.
- GLP compliance:
- yes
- Type of assay:
- bacterial reverse mutation assay
- Target gene:
- Histidine and tryptophan locus in the genome of five strains of bacteria.
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- S9 from Aroclor 1254
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Six doses 156, 313, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 μg TOS/mL were tested. Highest dose enzyme activity.
- Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle for enzyme: Purified water.
Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Substance is water-soluble and any human exposure will be in aqueous solutions.
Solvent for the positive control: DMSO - Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- 2-nitrofluorene
- other: Acridine mutagen (ICR-191), 1-Methyl-3-Nitro-N-NitrosoGuanidine, 2-Aminoanthracene
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Preincubation in suspension, followed by plating on agar plates (treat and plate method)
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): Overnight culture of approximately 1x 10^9 cells/mL
DURATION
- Exposure duration, pre-incubation: The incubation mixtures were incubated with shaking at 37 ± 1 °C for 3 hours (treat and plate).
- Incubation time (selective incubation): About 72 hours
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: 0.1 mL aliquots of a 10^6 dilution of each bacterial suspension were poured on to minimal glucose agar plates (added the required amino acids in excess) in duplicates. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance is considered positive when it has induced at least a doubling in the mean number of revertant colonies per plate compared to the appropriate solvent control in one or more of the strains, in the presence or absence of S9 mix, if this response is dose related (at least 3 doses) and reproducible.
In case of a dose related and reproducible numerical increase, which is below a doubling but at least 50% higher than the solvent control, the result is considered as equivocal and needs further clarification. - Statistics:
- N/A
- Key result
- Species / strain:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- no cytotoxicity
- Remarks:
- Some cytoxocity was seen in the absence of S9 for TA100 in the highest concentration and TA1537 in the highest 3 concentrations.
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- Some cytotoxicity was seen in the absence of S9 for TA100 in the highest concentration and TA1537 in the highest 3 concentrations.
Growth stimulation (feeding effect) was present in a few test series especially in with the E. coli strain with addition of S9 as demonstrated by increases in the viable count of exposed cultures compared to the solvent control. As a consequence, weak increases in the number of spontaneous revertant colonies were present which obviously is without biological significance.
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: Yes
- Precipitation: Precipitation is a concentration limiting factor, but no issues were reported in this study.
- Definition of acceptable cells for analysis: Viability and gene type control
HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA
- Positive historical control data: Yes
- Negative (solvent/vehicle) historical control data: Yes - Conclusions:
- The results of the bacterial mutagenicity tests gave no indication of the presence of mutagenic components in amylase, batch PPY32896, when tested under the conditions applied in this study, in the presence and absence of S-9.
- Executive summary:
Amylase, batch PPY32896 was examined for mutagenic activity in the bacterial reverse mutation assay using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA98 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrApKM101. Crude enzyme preparations, like the present batch of amylase contain the free amino acid histidine and tryptophan, most often in an amount, which exceeds the critical concentration for incorporation in the direct standard assay. To overcome this problem all strains were exposed to amylase in liquid culture ("treat and plate assay").
Bacteria were exposed to 6 doses of the test substance in a phosphate buffered nutrient broth for 3 hours with 5000 μg TOS/mL as highest concentration. After incubation the test substance was removed by centrifugation prior to plating. The study was conducted with and without the metabolic activation system S9 - a liver preparation from male rats, pre-treated with Aroclor 1254, and the co-factors required for mixed function oxidase activity (S9 mix). All results were confirmed by conducting two complete and independent experiments.
Amylase contains an abundance of various nutrients, and composes a rich growth medium to the test bacteria. These circumstances are reflected in the present study. No toxicity of the test substance to the bacteria was observed.
Growth stimulation (feeding effect) was present in a few test series especially in with the E. coli strain with addition of S9 as demonstrated by increases in the viable count of exposed cultures compared to the solvent control. As a consequence weak increases in the number of spontaneous revertant colonies were present which obviously is without biological significance.
The results of the bacterial mutagenicity tests gave no indication of the presence of mutagenic components in amylase, batch PPY32896, when tested under the conditions applied in this study, in the presence and absence of S-9.
