Species / strainopen allclose all
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- not applicable
- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
- other: rfa (deep rough (defective lipopolysaccharide cellcoat)), gal (mutation in galactose metabolism); chl (mutation in nitrate reductase); bio (defective biotin synthesis); uvrB (loss of excision repair system (deletion of ultraviolet-repair B gene))
- Species / strain / cell type:
- E. coli WP2 uvr A
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- not applicable
- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
- other: The strain lacks an excision repair system and is sensitive to agents such as UV. The sensitivity of the strain to a wide variety of mutagens has been enhanced by permeabilization of the strain using Tris-EDTA treatment.
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9: Trinova Biochem GmbH (Giessen, Germany); prepared from male Sprague Dawley rats that have been dosed orally with a suspension of phenobarbital (80 mg/kg bw) and ß-naphthoflavone (100 mg/kg bw)
- method of preparation of S9 mix: S9-mix was prepared immediately before use and kept refrigerated. S9-mix contained per 10 mL: 30 mg NADP (Randox Laboratories Ltd., Crumlin, United Kingdom) and 15.2 mg glucose-6-phosphate (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) in 5.5 mL Milli-Q water (Millipore Corp., Bedford, MA, USA); 2 mL 0.5 M sodium phosphate buffer pH 7.4; 1 mL 0.08 M MgCl2 solution (Merck); 1 mL 0.33 M KCl solution (Merck). The above solution was filter (0.22 µm)-sterilized. To 9.5 mL of S9-mix components, 0.5 mL S9-fraction was added (5% (v/v) S9-fraction) to complete the S9-mix.
- concentration or volume of S9 mix in the final culture medium: 0.5 mL S9 mix
- quality controls of S9 (e.g., enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability): Each S9 batch was characterized with the mutagens benzo-(a)-pyrene (Sigma) and 2-aminoanthracene, which require metabolic activation, in tester strain TA100 at concentrations of 5 µg/plate and 2.5 µg/plate, respectively. - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Experiment 1 (Direct plate assay):
- all strains: 1.7, 5.4, 17, 52, 164, 512, 1600, 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation,
Experiment 2 (Pre-incubation assay):
- all strains: 17, 52, 164, 512, 1600, 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation
5000 µg/plate is the recommended maximum test concentration for soluble non-cytotoxic substances according to OECD 471. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Ethanol (Merck, Darmstadt, Germany)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Ethanol was selected for use in the assay as it has been routinely used and validated for use in the bacterial reverse mutation assay. The test material formed a clear colourless solution in ethanol.

TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
Direct plate assay

Pre-incubation assay
- Preincubation period: 30 ± 2 min at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 48 ± 4 h at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies per plate.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICITY
- The revertant colonies were counted automatically with the Sorcerer Colony Counter. Plates with sufficient test material precipitate to interfere with automated colony counting were counted manually. Evidence of test material precipitate on the plates and the condition of the bacterial background lawn were evaluated when considered necessary, macroscopically and/or microscopically by using a dissecting microscope.
OTHER
- The Salmonella typhimurium strains were checked at least every year to confirm their histidine-requirement, crystal violet sensitivity, ampicillin resistance (TA98 and TA100), UV-sensitivity and the number of spontaneous revertants.
- The Escherichia coli WP2uvrA strain was checked to confirm the tryptophan-requirement, UV-sensitivity and the number of spontaneous revertants at least every year. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Test conditions according to OECD 471
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test material is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA 100 or WP2uvrA is not greater than two times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 98 is not greater than three times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one follow-up experiment.
A test material is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA 100 or WP2uvrA is greater than two times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA 98 is greater than three times the concurrent control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one follow-up experiment. - Statistics:
- Mean values and standard deviations were calculated.

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- The test material formed a clear colourless solution in ethanol.
- Precipitation: In Experiment 1, precipitation of the test material on the plates was observed at concentrations of 512 μg/plate and upwards in tester strains TA100 (absence and presence of S9-mix) and TA98 (presence of S9-mix). Precipitation of the test material on the plates was observed at concentrations of 1600 μg/plate and upwards in the other tester strains. In Experiment 2, precipitation of the test material on the plates was observed at concentrations of 1600 μg/plate and upwards in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix.
STUDY RESULTS:
In the Direct Plate Assay (Experiment 1) and Pre-Incubation Assay (Experiment 2), there was no increase in the number of revertants observed upon treatment with the test material under all conditions tested (refer to 'Any other information on results incl. tables', table 1 and 2).
The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly. There was no reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants observed upon treatment with the test material under all conditions tested.
