Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity nor precipitates, but tested up to recommended limit concentrations
Additional information on results:
Note: TA 1538 and E. coli WP2 uvrA were also tested with and without metabolic activation; result: negative

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

No mutagenic effect was observed for the test item in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation.
