Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation, two independent tests were performed: Bacterial culture, test substance dissolved in Ethanol, sterile sodium othophosphate buffer (pH 7.4) or S9-mix were given into sterile bijou bottles, histidine deficient agar was added, thoroughly mixed and then overlaid onto minimal agar plates.


DURATION
- Preincubation period: not applicable
- Exposure duration: at least 3 days


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 per concentration


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Any toxic effects were detected by a substantial reduction in revertant colony counts or by the absence of a complete background bacterial lawn


OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Other: A preliminary toxicity test was conducted for range finding purposes
Evaluation criteria:
The test compound is considered to show evidence of mutagenic activity if it induces an at least 2-fold increase in revertant colony numbers compared to solvent control with some evidence of a positive dose-relationship in two seperate experiments with any bacterial strain either in the presence or in the absence of metabolic activation. The test substance is considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity if it does not produce reproducible increases of at least 1.5 times the concurrent solvent controls, at any dose level with any bacterial strain. If the results fail to satisfy the criteria for a clear "positive" or "negative" response the following approach is taken: Repeat test may be performed using modifications (e. g. in dose range). If no clear "positive" response can be obtained the test data may be subjected to statistical analysis to determine the statistical significance of any observed increases.
Statistics:
analysis of variance followed by Student's T test
