- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Top agar was prepared using 0.6% Bacto agar (lot number 6147883 03/21) and 0.5% sodium chloride with 5 mL of 1.0 mM histidine and 1.0 mM biotin or 1.0 mM tryptophan solution added to each 100 mL of top agar.
In this assay, overnight sub-cultures of the appropriate coded stock cultures were prepared in nutrient broth (Oxoid Limited; lot number 1865318 05/21) and incubated at 37 °C for approximately 10 hours.
Both plate incorporation method and pre-incubation methods were used in this study.
All of the plates were incubated at 37 ± 3 degrees C for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity). - Evaluation criteria:
- The criteria for determining a positive result include any, one, or all of the following:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnetts Regression Analysis (* = p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

- Additional information on results:
- A test item precipitate (white and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 500 μg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
There were no toxicologically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method) or in Experiment 2 (preincubation method).
A small, statistically significant increase in TA98 revertant colony frequency was observed in the absence of S9-mix at 500 µg/plate in the first mutation test. This increase was considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Furthermore, the individual revertant colony counts at 500 µg/plate were within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for the tester strain and the fold increase was only 1.4 times the concurrent vehicle control.
