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

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Two independent experiments were performed in triplicates each.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated, both macroscopically and microscopically.

In the first experiment S9-mix at 5% (v/v) was used. In the second experiment S9-mix at 10% (v/v) was used.

The revertant colonies (histidine independent or tryptophan independent) were counted manually if less than 40 colonies per plate were present.
If more than 40 colonies were present, these were counted automatically with a Biocount 4000 Pro-S-colony counter.
Plates with abundant test article precipitate which interfered with automated colony counting were counted manually and the evidence of test substance precipitate on the plates was recorded.
Evaluation criteria:
No formal hypothesis testing was done. A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment. A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final
evaluation decision.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: the test substance slightly precipitated at concentrations ≥1000 µg/plate

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed based on preliminary tests in TA 100 and WP2uvrA up to 5000 µg/plate in triplicate. At the highest concentration the test substance exhibited limited solubility.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: positive and solvent controls were in the range of historical control data
