Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
nitroreductase deficient
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
1000 µg/plate in the absence of S9-mix
3330 µg/plate in the presence of S9-mix
At these level survival was only slightly reduced. Above these levels cytotoxicity (absence of survival) was evident
Vehicle / solvent:
DMSO, PBS
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Remarks:
vehicle
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
9-aminoacridine
sodium azide
methylmethanesulfonate
other: daunomycine
