Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation (first and second experiment)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: inspection of bacterial background lawn and number of revertant colonies
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria
The study was considered valid if:
- number of revertant colonies of the negative (solvent) and positive controls are in the historical control range
- no contamination
- mean number of revertant colonies in the positive control group is increased at least twice compared to the negative control group

Evaluation criteria
The number of revertant colonies in any strains at one or more doses is increased at least two times compared to the negative control group. There should be dose dependency or reproducibility as dose increases.
Statistics:
Individual plates were counted for revertant colonies. The average and standard deviation of the number of revertant colonies were calculated. Statistical analysis was not performed.

Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: A dose range finding study (preincubation) was conducted to determine the highest dose for the main study. The five tested concentrations were ranging from 4.88 until 5000 μg/plate. In the four S. typhimurium strains, growth inhibition was observed starting at 313 μg/plate with metabolic activation and starting at 78.1 μg/plate without metabolic activation. In E.coli WP2uvrA(pKM101), it was observed starting at 1250 μg/plate with metabolic activation and starting at 313 μg/plate without metabolic activation. Thus, the highest dose level of the main studies was selected at the lowest dose level at which the growth inhibition was observed in the range finding study: 313 μg/plate for the S. typhimurium strains with S9 mix and 78.1 μg/plate without S9 mix, 1250 μg/plate for E.coli WP2 uvr A (pKM 101) strains with S9 mix, 313 μg/plate without S9 mix. These were serially diluted by applying a geometric of 2 to produce 5 lower doses.
