Details on test system and experimental conditions:

3.8.1 Selection of the test method
This test was carried out using the pre-incubation method under the presence and absence of S9 mix.
3.8.2 Pre-incubation Method
(1) For each treatment, 0.1 mL of the test substance solution, negative (solvent) control or positive control solution was added into a sterilized test tube.
(2) For assays in the absence of S9 mix, 0.5 mL of 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) was mixed and 0.1 mL of a bacterial suspension was added to this mixture.
(3) For assays in the presence of S9 mix, 0.5 mL of S9 mix was mixed and 0.1 mL of a bacterial suspension was added to this mixture.
(4) The mixture was incubated with gentle shaking (Shaking frequency: 120 times/minute) for 20 minutes at 37°C (pre-incubation).
(5) After pre-incubation, 2 mL of the molten top agar was added to this mixture and then poured onto a minimal glucose agar plate.
(6) After the overlaid agar had solidified, the plates were incubated for (48 ± 2) hours at 37°C.
3.8.3 Observation
Precipitation : After incubation for (48 ±2) hours, presence of precipitation on the agar plates was examined with the unaided eye.
Microbial toxicity : After incubation for (48 ± 2) hours, microbial toxicity was examined with a stereoscopic microscope.
3.8.4 Colony count
The colonies in each plate were counted with the unaided eye.
3.8.5 Number of plate
concentration range-finding test: 3 plate/dose
Main test: 3 plate/dose
3.8.6 Expression of data
The mean of the measured number of revertant colonies was calculated for the negative
(solvent) control, the positive control and the test substance treatments. The mean was
expressed by rounding to the first decimal place.
3.8.7 Sterility test
The sterility test was also performed, using one plate for each of the highest dose of test substance solution and the S9 mix used in the test.
(1) In the concentration range-finding test and main test, 0.1 mL of the highest dose of the test substance solution or 0.5 mL S9 mix was mixed with 2 mL of the molten top agar.
(2) The mixture was poured onto a minimal glucose agar plate.
(3) After the overlaid agar had solidified, the plates were incubated for (48 ± 2) hours at 37°C, and bacterial contamination was checked with the unaided eye.
3.8.8 Acceptable criteria of the test
The test was accepted as valid if all the following criteria were satisfied.
(1) The negative (solvent) control values (mean value) and the positive control values (mean value) were within the proper ranges calculated based on the historical data at the testing facility.
(2) The positive control values (mean value) show positive responses in the respective test strains, as evidenced by the number of revertant colonies being greater than 2-fold of the respective negative (solvent) control value.
(3) There are 4 or more doses giving no microbial toxicity and at least 5 analyzable doses.
(4) The highest dose in the main test is conducted up to the doses at which microbial toxicity was observed or 5000 μg/plate.
(5) The result of the sterility test indicates that there is no microbial contamination.
(6) There are no plates, which became invalid for measurement due to contamination or other unexpected situations.

Evaluation criteria:

Test substance was judged to have mutagenicity (positive) when the test substance induced a dose-dependent increase in the number of the revertant colonies (mean value) to a level equal to or greater than 2-fold of the negative (solvent) control value (mean value) in each test strains either in the presence of absence of S9 mix and also when the dose-dependent increase was reproducible. Otherwise, the mutagenicity of the test substance was considered to be negative. No statistical analysis was performed with the test results in the present study.

Additional information on results:

Main test
The results of the main tests were summarized in tables 4 ~ 5 and appendices 4 ~ 5. In the two main tests, growth inhibitions were observed at the dose of 1 μg/plate or more for TA98, WP2uvrA, and at the dose of 0.5 μg/plate or more for TA100 TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence and presence of S9 mix.
The number of revertant colonies from the test substance-treated group did not show an increase surface when compared to the negative control group. Precipitation was not observed on the agar plates at the any dose in the presence and absence of S9 mix.

Sterility test
Microbial contamination was not observed in the highest dose of test substance solution and S9 mix in the sterility test group in either the concentration range-finding tests or the main tests.
