Metabolic activation system:

Mixture of co-factors with S9 fraction of liver from Wistar rats induced with Aroclor 1254.

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

20, 80, 320, 1280, and 5120 µg/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

- Vehicle used: acetone

Controls

Untreated negative controls:

no

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

Remarks:

Acetone was used

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

other: See Table 1

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

The plate incorporation method was used. Test article or vehicle (0.1 ml) and bacteria (0.1 ml) were added to 20 ml minimum agar and 2 ml soft agar (including 0.5 mM histidine). In experiments with metabolic activation 0.5 ml S9-mix was added additionally. Plates were incubated for 48 hours at 37 ºC in the dark. All experiments were performed twice in triplicate.

Evaluation criteria:

When the colonies had been counted, the arithmetic mean was calculated. The test substance is generally considered to be nonmutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control is not doubled at any concentration.

Statistics:

No statistics were performed. The colonies were counted and the arithmetic mean was calculated.
