Rationale for test conditions:
not specified
Evaluation criteria:
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.

Additional information on results:
No biologically relevant 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 both experiments.
Small, statistically significant increases in TA1535 revertant colony frequency (some of which were just in excess of the upper historical control limit) were observed in the absence and presence of S9-mix at 1500 μg/plate in the first mutation test. These increases were considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility and the maximum fold increase was only 1.5 times the concurrent vehicle controls. Further statistically significant increases in TA1535 revertant colony frequency were noted in Experiment 2 at 1500 μg/plate in the presence of S9-mix. However, these increases were accompanied by a weakened bacterial lawns and were, therefore, disregarded.
