Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without

yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
no
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:

Positive control substance:
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The mutagenicity of Jojoba Alcohol was evaluated by Taguchi (no date) using S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538 and E. coli strain WP-2 (uvr A).

All strains were tested with concentrations of Jojoba Alcohol ranging from 1.25 to 40.0 nl/plate both with and without metabolic activation.
Untreated cultures of each strain tested served as negative controls.
The following chemicals served as positive controls:
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (strains TA100, TA1535, and WP-2 (uvr A) without activation), benzo(a)pyrene (strains TA98, TA100, TA1537, and TA1538 with activation),
2-aminoanthracene (strain WP-2 (uvr A) with activation),
2-nitroflourene (strain TA 98 without activation),
9-aminoanthracene (strain TA1537 without activation), and
4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (strain TA1538 without activation).
