Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION

- Preincubation period: 60 minutes

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates for each test concentration

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth; background lawn assessment
Evaluation criteria:
A result is positive if the number of revertants is significantly increased compared with the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535 and TA 1537 in both experiments.

Positive results have to be reproducible and the histidine independence of the revertants has to be confirmed by streaking on histidine-free agar plates.

Cytotoxicity is defined as a reduction in the number of colonies by >50% compared with the solvent control and/or a sparse background lawn.

Statistics:
MANN and WHITNEY and Spearman’s rank.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a highly reliable test, conducted under OECD 471, with GLP, no mutagenic effect was observed for the test substance tested up to cytotoxic concentration in any of the test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation. The test substance is non-mutagenic in test strains used.
