Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
The experimental procedures are based on the methods described by Ames, (1973, 1975), Yahagi et al. (1977) and Matsushima et al. (1980).

1ST EXPERIMENT: in agar (plate incorporation) (SPT)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 h, 37°C


2ND EXPERIMENT: preincubation (PIT)


DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min, 37°C
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 h, 37°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates; 3 test plates per dose or per control


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: 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:
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the Ames test has to fulfill the following requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate (control)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results
