Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) (experiment 1) and preincubation (experiment 2)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes at 37°C with shaking at approximately 130 rpm prior to addition of 2 ml of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented, top agar (only in experiment 2)
- Exposure duration: 48 h

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): histidine (for S. typhimurium strains) or tryptophan (for E. coli)

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
Evaluation criteria:
Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby (1979)).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. An indication of a positive result as determined by a statistical analysis of the data as recommended by UKEMS (Mahon et al (1989)).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item, Monosodium cyanurate monohydrate, was determined to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
Executive summary:

Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with suspensions of the test item, Monosodium cyanurate monohydrate, using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (10% liver S9 in standard cofactors). The dose range was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 μg/plate in the first experiment. The experiment was repeated on a separate day (pre-incubation method) using the same dose range as Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations.

The vehicle (sterile distilled water) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control reference items used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The test item caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level and was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate. A light, opaque oily test item film was observed under an inverted microscope at 5000 μg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.
