Details on test system and experimental conditions:
First experiment:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Incubation time:
- Incubation temperature: 37 °C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: per strain and dose, four plates with and four plates without S9 mix were used.


Second experiment:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Incubation time: 20 min.
- Incubation temperature: 37 °C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: per strain and dose, four plates with and four plates without S9 mix were used.
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a significant, reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate (increase factor >= 2) in at least one strain can be observed.
Statistics:
A spreadsheet software was used to calculate mean values and standard deviations as well as the increase factor of revertant induction.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test item did not show mutagenic effects in both experiments. The number of revertant colonies was not increased in comparison with the spontaneous revertants (solvent only).

Cytotoxicity of the test item was not detected. The bacterial background lawn was visible and the number of revertants was not significantly decreased.

As no complete dissolution was possible, undissolved particles were visible on the plates in both experiments in the two highest concentrations.

Therefore it can be stated, that under the test conditions, the test item Silicic acid Aluminium Magnesium Sodium Salt is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation.

Test using Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535.
