Details on test system and experimental conditions:
according to Ames et al. (1973, 1975)
With and without metabolic activation 4 plates per tester strain and dose were used. After 48 h of incubation on a histidine deficient agar at 37°C the colonies were counted.
Evaluation criteria:
a reproducible, dose-dependent dublication of mutant counts in treated plates versus control plates in at least one strain was judged a positive result.
Statistics:
no data

Executive summary:

Herbold, B, Bayer-report no. 13085, 1984

3,4 -DCA was tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium ( TA98, TA100, TA 1535 and TA 1537) similar to OECD 471 and EU methods B.13/14 (without testing of A/T base pair revertant strains). The tests were conducted according to the method of Ames et al. (1975). After 48 h of incubation growth of revertant colonies on histidine deficient selection agar was counted and compared to vehicle controls. 3,4 dichloroaniline did not produces a reproducible, dose related response over the solvent control, under a single metabolic activation condition, in replicate trials. The obtained results therefore indicate that 3,4 -DCA in a concentration of up to 500 µg/ plate appeared to be nonmutagenic in these Salmonella strains. Higher doses were cytotoxic, as indicated by reduced His+ revertant colonies.
