DURATION
- Exposure duration: approximately 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Thinning or absence of background lawn of non-revertant cells

OTHER: The mutation experiment was repeated on a separate day using fresh cultures and fresh test material formulations.
Evaluation criteria:
After incubation, numbers of revertant colonies were counted. For a substance to be considered positive in this test system, it should have induced a dose-related and statistically significant increase in mutation rate in one or more strains of bacteria in the presence and/or absence of S9 in both experiments at sub-toxic dose levels. For a negative result the numbers of induced revertants should be less than two fold compared to controls.
Statistics:
Dunnetts test was used and showed no statistically significant differences between test and control plates.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: no data

CYTOTOXIC CONCENTRATION: Slight cytotoxicity was indicated in a preliminary toxicity screen with TA100 at dose levels >= 500 ug/plate without 
metabolic activation. In the actual mutation study there was no evidence of cytotoxicity up to 5000 ug/plate with or without S9.
Remarks on result:
other: No mutagenic potential

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a reliable study, conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 471 and under GLP, the C14 alcohol Kalcol 4098 did not increase the reverse mutation rate in histidine dependent bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence or absence of metabolic activation at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate. The top concentration was not cytotoxic. It is concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

In the bacterial mutagenicity study, the ability of tetradecan-1 -ol to induce mutations in bacteria was tested.

In test I, 50, 150, 500, 1500, and 5000 µg/plate of test material were applied to S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1538 without metabolic activation. In test II, the same concentrations of the test material were applied to

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1538, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. The exposure duration was approximately 48 hours.

After incubation, numbers of revertant colonies were counted. For a substance to be considered positive in this test system, it should have induced a dose-related and statistically significant increase in mutation rate in one or more strains of bacteria in the presence and/or absence of metabolic activation in both experiments at sub-toxic dose levels. For a negative result the numbers of induced revertants should be less than two fold compared to controls.

The study reports tetradecan-1 -ol to be not mutagenic to S. typhimurium when tested up to limit concentration. The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline, with acceptable restriction. The restriction was that no cross linking strain was used, so does not comply with current guidelines. It was compliant with GLP.
