Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) (Experiment 1); preincubation (Experiment 2)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 h
- Exposure duration: at least 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replications each in 2 independent experiment

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance is considered as a mutagenic if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100 and WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.
A dose-dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose-dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviations were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: The test substance precipitated in the overlay agar in the test tubes from 1000 to 5000 µg/plate with metabolic activation in both experiments. Precipitation of the test substance in the overlay agar on the incubated agar plates was observed at 5000 µg/plate with metabolic activation in both experiments.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The pre-experiment is reported as Experiment I (all strains were tested in the pre-experiment).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: The plates incubated with the test substance showed reduced background growth in all tester strains used. Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in all tester strains used.
