- Experiment 1 and 2:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
Test material and vehicle controls:
Known aliquots (0.1 mL) of one of the bacterial suspensions were dispensed into sets of sterile test tubes followed by 2.0 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented, top agar at 45 °C, 0.1 mL of the appropriately diluted test material or vehicle control and either 0.5 mL of the S9 liver microsome mix or phosphate buffer. The contents of each test tube were mixed and equally distributed onto the surface of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plates (one tube per plate). This procedure was repeated, in triplicate, for each bacterial strain and for each concentration of test material with and without S9-mix.
Positive controls:
- Without activation: a known aliquot (0.1 mL) of one of the positive control solutions (ENNG, 9AA, 4NQO or 4NOPD) was added to a test tube containing 2.0 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented, top agar and 0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial suspension. Finally, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer was added to the tube, the contents mixed and poured onto the surface of a Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plate. This procedure was then repeated, in triplicate, for each tester strain.
- With activation. a known aliquot (0.1 mL) of 2AA solution was added to a test tube containing 2.0 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented, top agar and 0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial suspension. Finally, 0.5 mL of S9-mix was added to the tube, the contents mixed and poured onto the surface of a Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plate. This procedure was then repeated, in triplicate, for each tester strain.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: all of the plates were incubated at 37°C for approximately 48 hours.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: the frequency of revertant colonies were assessed using a Domino colony counter.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
A preliminary test was carried out to determine the toxicity of the test material to the tester organisms. A mixture of 0.1 mL of bacterial suspension (TA100) , 2 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented media (histidine/biotin and top agar), 0.1 mL of test material and 0.5 mL phosphate buffer was overlaid onto sterile plates of Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar (30 mL/plate). Five doses of the test material and a vehicle control (sterile distilled water) were tested in duplicate. In addition, 0.1 mL of the maximum concentration of test material and 2 mL of molten, trace histidine supplemented media were overlaid onto a sterile Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plate in order to assess the sterility of the test material. After approximately 48 hours incubation at 37°C the plates were assessed for revertant colonies using a Domino colony counter and examined for a thinning of the background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- For a substance to be considered positive in this test system, it should have induced a dose-related and statistically significant increase in mutation rate in one or more strains of bacteria in the presence and/or absence of the S9 microsomal enzymes in both experiments at sub-toxic dose levels. In the event of the two experiments giving conflicting or equivocal results, then a third experiment may be performed to confirm the correct response. All data are statistically analysed using the methods recommended by the UKEMS and normally Dunnett's method of linear regression is used to evaluate the result. To be considered negative the number of induced revertants compared to spontaneous revertants should be less than twofold at each dose level employed, the intervals of which should be between two and five fold and extend to the limits imposed by toxicity, solubility or up to the maximum recommended dose of 5000 µg/plate. In this case the limiting factor was the maximum recommended dose.
