Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic for all the used bacterial strains (Salmonella typhimurium as well as Escherichia coli) with as well as without metabolic activation
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to determine the potential mutagenicity of the test material using bacterial reverse mutation assay (e.g. Ames test). 

Four indicator Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA 1537 and one indicator Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA strain were treated with the test material suspended in dimethylsulfoxide using the plate incorporation method at doses of 50 -5000 µg/plate).

 

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded at any dose level.

 

The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
