Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: The study was performed in two independent tests in the plate incorporation test (Experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (Experiment II)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 per concentration

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: not mentioned

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Other: Determination of the frequency of induced or spontaneous reversion to histidine independence with negative controls (H2O), solvent controls (DMSO), test substance concentrations and positive controls; determination of the titers of overnight cultures

OTHER: none
Evaluation criteria:
The test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed. A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration. An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment. A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
