Description of key information
In an Ames test the substance was tested in salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and E. colistrain WP2uvrAin presence and absence of metabolic activation. No increase in mutant frequency was reported in any of the strains tested both in presence and absence of metabolic activation. The substance is considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn - Evaluation criteria:
- a substance is considered positive when:
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. Statistical analysis of data as determined 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 (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)). - Statistics:
