Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

ACTIVATION
- Aroclor induced rat liver S9 was present at 10% in the S9-mix (S9-mix contained S9 fraction 10%, MgCl, KCl, sodium orthophosphate buffer pH 7.4, glucose-6-phosphate and NADP). 0.5 ml S9-mix was added to 2 ml agar, 0.1 ml test solution or control and 0.1 ml bacterial culture giving a final concentration of approximately 2%.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 30 minutes
- Exposure duration: 3 days

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): histidine deficient agar

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate plates, experiment repeated

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: condition of background lawn

Evaluation criteria:

A result is considered positive if there is a three-fold increase in the number of revertants in TA1535, TA1537 and TA98 over the solvent control and a two-fold increase for other strains. This should occur in both experiments and show some evidence of a dose-relationship. The positive controls must cause at least a doubling of mean revertant colony numbers over the mean of the solvent control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test material has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria, in a study that was conducted according to the OECD 471. No evidence of test substance related increase in the number of revertants was observed with or without activation using the plate incorporation method or the repeat pre-incubation assay in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and the E coli strains WP2 trp uvrA pKM101 (CM891) and WP2 trp pKM101 (CM881).
