Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Preliminary cytotoxicity testing on strain S.typhimurium TA100
Mutagenic assay composed of one assay without metabolic activation and one assay with metabolic activation (If the first assay is positive, the second one is performed in the same manner. If the first assay, in presence of test item, is negative, the pre-incubation test is performed for the second assay).
Rationale for test conditions:
According to OECD guideline
Evaluation criteria:
Ensure that the criteria of validity of the study are well respected namely :
 the bacteriostatic activity of the highest concentration tested shall be equal to or less than 75 %,
 the spontaneous reversion rate of the absolute negative control shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory,
 the spontaneous reversion rate of the solvent shall not be statistically different from absolute negative control,
 the mean number of revertant colonies obtained for each strain and the corresponding positive control, with and/or without metabolic activation shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory.
 Negative and positive values should not show significant difference with the historical values of the laboratory (± 2 standard deviations).
