METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 experiments were performed in triplicates each

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Inspection of the bacterial background lawn

OTHER: The spontaneous mutation rates of each tester strain were within the characteristic spontaneous mutation rates
Evaluation criteria:
A combination of the following criteria was considered as a positive result:
1) The plate background of non-reverted bacteria did not show any growth reduction versus the respective negative controls.
2) The spontaneous mutation rates of each tester strain per plate were within the characteristic spontaneous mutation range.
3) As a rule, the positive controls showed mutation rates exceeding the control values of TA 100 at least by the factor 2.0 and those of the other tester strains at least by the factor 3.0.
4) At more than one dose tested, the test substance caused at least a 2.0-fold increase in comparison with the negative controls in the tester strain TA 100. For the other tester strains, an increase in the mutation rate of more than 3.0 above the corresponding negative controls was considered positive.

Reproducibility:
If the test substance induces reverse mutations in only one test, and if this effect cannot be reproduced in one or several repeated tests, the initially positive test data will lose their significance.
Statistics:
Mean and standard deviation were calculated
Revertant colonies were counted and the mean and standard deviation were calculated and compared to the controls. The tester strains were regulary tested for their genetic markers.
