Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48±4 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in 2 independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: bacterial background lawn, number of revertants

METABOLIC ACTIVATION SYSTEM:
- Every batch of S9-mix was characterised with Benzo-(a)-pyrene and 2-aminoanthracene before use.

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptability criteria:
a) The negative control data (number of spontaneous revertants per plate) should be within the laboratory historical range for each tester strain.
b) The positive control chemicals should produce responses in all tester strains, which are within the laboratory historical range documented for each positive control substance. Furthermore, the mean plate count should be at least three times the concurrent vehicle control group mean.
c) The selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.

A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Positive controls validity:

valid

Additional information on results:

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: not observed up to the limit concentration

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed.
In the dose range finding test, no increase in the number of revertants was observed upon treatment with C6SFCLA under all conditions tested.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
In strain TA1535 (first experiment, absence of S9-mix), a fluctuation in the number of revertant colonies above the laboratory historical control data range was observed at the dose level of 5000 μg/plate. However, since the increase was not three-fold (a maximum of 1.3-fold was reached), this increase was not considered to be relevant.
