Method

Species / strain

Species / strain 1

Species / strain / cell type:

E. coli WP2 uvr A

Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

liver microsomal activation system

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

Pre-Experiment/Experiment I: 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500, and 5000 microgram/plate
Experiment II: 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500, and 5000 microgram/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

On the day of the experiment, the test item FAT 40840/A TE was dissolved in deionised
water. The solvent was chosen because of its solubility properties and its relative nontoxicity
to the bacteria.
No precipitation of the test item occurred up to the highest investigated dose.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

For each strain and dose level including the controls, three plates were used.
The following materials were mixed in a test tube and poured onto the selective agar plates:
- 100 mircoL Test solution at each dose level, solvent (negative control) or reference mutagen solution (positive control),
- 500 microL S9 mix (for test with metabolic activation) or S9 mix substitution buffer (for test without metabolic activation),
- 100 microL Bacteria suspension (cf. test system, pre-culture of the strains),
- 2000 microL Overlay agar

In the pre-incubation assay 100 microL test solution, 500 microL S9 mix / S9 mix substitution buffer
and 100 microL bacterial suspension were mixed in a test tube and shaken at 37° C for 60
minutes. After pre-incubation 2.0 mL overlay agar (45° C) was added to each tube. The
mixture was poured on selective agar plates.
After solidification the plates were incubated upside down for at least 48 hours at 37° C in the dark.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not
induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.

Executive summary:

The test item FAT 40840/A TE was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations in the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 100, and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Due to contamination of the strains TA 100 and WP2 uvrA with and without metabolic activation in experiment I, no data could be obtained and this part of the experiment was repeated under identical conditions. The repeat experiment is reported as experiment I. Each concentration and the controls were tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations (active ingredient (MC)): Pre-Experiment/Experiment I: 3, 10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 Lg/plate Experiment II: 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 Lg/plate The plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 Lg/plate with and without S9 mix in both experiments. No toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants, occurred in the test groups with and without metabolic activation. No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains was observed following treatment with FAT 40840/A TE at any dose level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance. Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls. They showed a distinct increase of induced revertant colonies.
