Specific details on test material used for the study:
Preparation : By mixing 300 mg of the test substance with 6 mL of distilled water, the highest concentration (5000 µg / 0.1 µL / plate) was prepared. This solution was serially diluted to half its concentration to prepare the others concentrations.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Culture media :
- Nutrient broth
Nutrient broth No.2 was dissolved in distilled water to prepare a 2.5% culture medium and 20mL of the medium added in each Erlenmeyer flask was sterilized for 15 min. at 121°C.
- Minimum glucose agar medium
TESMEDIA AN (Wako Pure Chemical Industries) was used. Each plate was marked by writing an ID number on the top of the rid.
- Top agar
For four Salmonella typhimurium strains, 10-part of 0.6 % agar containing 0.5 % Na i, 1-part of 0.5 mM D-biotin and. 1-part of 0.5 mM L-histidine were mixed.
For Escherichia coli; 10-part of agar and 1-part of 0.5mM L-tryptophan were mixed
Evaluation criteria:
Assessment
Positive reaction (+) : The number of revertant colonied per plate was more than twice that for the negative control group and this increased number of revertant colonies was reproducible and dose-dependent.
Negative reaction (—) : Other reactions
Growth inhibition : The background lawn for the test substance group was clearly rougher or clearer compared to that of the negative control group.
