Any other information on results incl. tables

No bacteriostatic effect appeared in the two strains with and without metabolic activation. The selected concentrations for the mutagenicity tests with and without metabolic activation were 10, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 µg/plate. No mutagenic activity occured with and without metabolic activation in any of five strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Based on the results of this study, p-toluenesulphonic acid does not induce reverse mutations in the tested strains of Salmonella typhimurium.
