Details on test system and experimental conditions:

7.1 Culture of Bacteria
On the day before the start of each experiment, a nutrient broth (Oxoid nutrient broth no. 2) was inoculated with one lyophilizate per strain at 4:00 pm.
These overnight cultures were placed in the heating chamber at 37 ± 1 °C for 16 hours.
For the last two hours the overnight cultures were shaken on an orbital shaker (150 rpm) at 37 ± 1 °C.
Afterwards, the overnight cultures were ready for usage in the experiment.
During the test, the overnight cultures were stored at room temperature (20 ± 5 °C) as to prevent changes in the titre.
7.2 Conduct of Experiment
7.2.1 Preparations
Different media and solutions were prepared preliminary (exact production dates are doc-umented in the raw data).
On the day of the test, the bacteria cultures were checked for growth visually. The incuba-tion chambers were heated to 37 ± 1 °C. The water bath was turned to 43 ± 1 °C. The table surface was disinfected.
The S9 mix was freshly prepared and stored at 0 °C.

Evaluation criteria:

The colonies were counted visually and the numbers were recorded. A validated spread-sheet software (Microsoft Excel®) was used to calculate mean values and standard devia-tions of each treatment, solvent control and positive control.
The mean values and standard deviations of each threefold determination was calculated as well as the increase factor f(l) of revertant induction (mean revertants divided by mean spontaneous revertants) of the test item solutions and the positive controls. Additionally, the absolute number of revertants (Rev. Abs.) (mean revertants minus mean spontaneous revertants) was given.

Five different analyzable and non-toxic concentrations should be used for the evaluation of the mutagenic potential of the test item.
A substance is considered to be mutagenic, if a reproducible increase with or without met-abolic activation of revertant colonies per plate exceeding an increase factor of 2 for the bacteria strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535 and TA1537 compared to vehicle controls in at least one strain can be observed.
A concentration-related increase over the range tested is also taken as a sign of mutagen-ic activity.
A substance is not mutagenic if it does not meet these criteria.
If the criteria listed above are not clearly met, the results will be assessed as equivocal and will be discussed.
Tables of results and, if applicable, graphs of the values are included in this final report. It is stated, at which concentration (mg or µg/plate) mutagenicity could be observed. The lowest concentration which showed mutagenicity is decisive of the assessment of the test item.
