Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium, other: TA100, TA98
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
positive
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
other: 1000 µg/plate
Additional information on results:
In this study it was clearly shown that the number of reverse mutations increased in the strain TA100 with increasing amounts of the test substance. Using 10 µg/plate of the test substance the number of reverse mutations was about 3-fold (without activation) and 4.4-fold (30%RLI) or 5-fold (30%HLI) higher than in the control.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.
