- not applicable

- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9 : The Salmonella typhimurium strains used in this study were mutants derived from Salmonella typhimurium LT2. The Salmonella typhimurium strains used were obtained from Molecular Toxicology, Inc., 157 Industrial Park Dr. Boone, NC 28607, USA.
- method of preparation of S9 mix:
The prepared co-factor mix was dispensed and stored below 0 °C.
S9 mix (10 mL volume)
Constituent Initial Toxicity Mutation Test Confirmatory Mutation Test
5% v/v S9 mix (10 mL) 10% v/v S9 mix (10 mL)
Co-factor mix 9.5 mL 9.0 mL
S9 fraction 0.5 mL 1.0 mL
The S9 mix was prepared fresh by adding the required quantity of S9 fraction to thawed co-factors and maintained in an ice bath. Any remaining mix was discarded.
- concentration or volume of S9 mix and S9 in the final culture medium: A volume of 0.1 mL of S9 mix (5% v/v S9 mix for the initial toxicity-mutation assay and 10% v/v S9 mix for the confirmatory mutation assay) prepared for treatment was added aseptically to 2 mL of top agar, mixed and poured onto MGA plates.
- quality controls of S9 (e.g., enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability):

Key: * = Highest Concentration of Test Item Stock Solution, # = 5% v/v S9 mix, ## =10% v/v S9 mix, T.I. = Test Item, DW = Distilled Water,
MGA = Minimal Glucose Agar, ONB = Oxoid Nutrient Broth - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Bacterial cultures were exposed to Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), iron(III) salts, at 8 dose levels (two plates/dose level) from 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate in an initial toxicity-mutation test. A normal bacterial background lawn with no biologically relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed in all tester strains in the absence and presence of metabolic activation up to 5000 µg/plate, when compared with that of the concurrent vehicle control.
Based on results of the initial toxicity-mutation test, a further 6 test concentrations were selected for the confirmatory mutation test. In this test bacterial cultures were exposed to Fatty acids, C16-18 (even numbered), iron(III) salts, at 6 dose levels (three plates/dose level) from 156.25 to 5000 µg/plate. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Distilled water
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item formed a homogenous suspension in distilled water, (50000 µg/mL, Stock A,), therefore distilled water was selected as the vehicle for treatment. A volume of 100 µL from stock A (5000 µg/plate) was added to 2 mL of top agar to assess precipitation. As no precipitation was observed, 5000 µg/plate, the limit guideline concentration, was selected as the highest concentration to be tested in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
- Justification for percentage of solvent in the final culture medium: 5% v/v (0.1 mL of distilled water was used as the vehicle into 2 mL top agar)

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: Duplicate plates/concentration in the initial toxicity mutation-test
Triplicate plates/concentration in the confirmatory mutation test
- Number of independent experiments : Two, an initial toxicity mutation test and a confirmatory mutation test
METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): Approximately 1 - 2 x 109 bacteria/mL, demonstrating the appropriate numbers of bacteria were plated.
- Test substance added in medium; in agar (plate incorporation): Treatments were performed using the plate incorporation technique in all tests.
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: Petri plates were incubated at 37 ± 1 °C for 48 hours and then examined to assess the background lawn inhibition and reduction in number of colonies.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, Six analysable doses were available to evaluate assay data. Cytotoxicity was detectable as decrease in the number of revertant colonies per plate and/or by a thinning of the bacterial background lawn (Teo et al., 2003).
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
A result was considered positive if a concentration-related increase and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentration in the number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation. - Rationale for test conditions:
- The study was performed in accordence with the specified experimental conditions as per OECD 471 and EU METHOD B.13/14. This guidence is accepted by the OECD and other regulatory authorities.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A result was considered positive if a concentration-related increase and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentration in the number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
The biological relavence of the result was considered.
Strains TA1535, TA1537: data sets were judged positive, if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 3.0 times the mean negative control value.
Strains TA98, TA100 and TA102: data sets were judged positive, if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 2.0 times the mean negative control value.
Statistical analysis was used as an aid in the evaluation of any dose response.
A response that did not meet all three of the above criteria (magnitude, concentration-responsiveness, reproducibility) was not judged as positive.
The negative results obtained in the initial toxicity-mutation test were confirmed in a confirmatory mutation test using the same method as specified above, with an alteration in concentration spacing and concentration of S9 mix. - Statistics:
- A simple linear regression analysis was performed for TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 and TA102 seperately, to assess the dose dependent nature of any increase in revertant colonies.
