Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation test

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

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3


METHOD OF APPLICATION: standard plate test (plate incorporation assay)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY (in both assays)
- Method: Toxicity was detected by a
- decrease in the number of revertants
- clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth)
- reduction in the titer.
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met: A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
