Vehicle / solvent:

- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: [DMSO]
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in ultrapure water, DMSO was used as vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available

- Incubation period: 20 min in medium (PIT) and incubation at 37°C for 48 – 72 hours (PIT and SPT)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth

Evaluation criteria:

The test substance is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information on results:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
A weak bacteriotoxic effect (slight decrease in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants) was
occasionally observed in the standard plate test depending on the strain and test conditions
from about 1 000 μg/plate onward.
In the preincubation assay slight bacteriotoxicity (slight decrease in the number of his+
revertants) was only observed in tester strain TA 100 without S9 mix from about
2 500 μg/plate onward.

SOLUBILITY
Test substance precipitation was found from about 2 500 μg/plate onward with and without
S9 mix.

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to a biologically

relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding a

metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (standard

plate test and preincubation assay).

Besides, the results of the negative as well as the positive controls performed in parallel

corroborated the validity of this study, since the values fulfilled the acceptance criteria of this

study.

In this study with and without S9 mix, the number of revertant colonies in the negative

controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.

In addition, the positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a significant

increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control

data or above.

Thus, under the experimental conditions chosen here, it is concluded that Benzaldehyde,

dodecylhydroxy-, oxime, branched (solvent-free and dodecylphenol-depleted) is not a

mutagenic test substance in the bacterial reverse mutation test in the absence and the

presence of metabolic activation.
