Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: not applicable; total frequency of revertant colonies assessed

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth, reduction of the bacterial background lawn, other: frequency of revertant colonies assessed using a Domino colony counter

Evaluation criteria:

The test material was considered to be positive in this test system if the following criteria were met:
- the test was valid (see criteria below)
- test material induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically (Dunnett's method of linear regression) significant increase in the revertant count in at least one strain of bacteria.
- a greater than 2-fold increase in revertant count was observed in two experiments.

Acceptance Criteria: the reverse mutation assay was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
- all tester strain cultures exhibited a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls which was within the historical control range
- the appropriate characteristics for each tester strain were confirmed, e.g. rfa cell-wall mutation and pkM101 plasmid R-factor etc.
- all tester strain cultures were in the range of 1 to 9.9 x 10E+9 bacteria per mL
- each mean positive control value was at least two times the respective vehicle control value for each strain, thus demonstrating both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagenic exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix.
- a minimum of 4 non-toxic dose levels was achieved and
- no evidence of excessive contamination was observed.

Statistics:

Mean values and standard deviation were calculated for the number of revertants of each group. Statistical analysis was performed using the Dunnett's method of linear regression.
