Evaluation criteria:

The colony numbers on the untreated / negative (vehicle/solvent) / positive control and test item treated plates were determined by manual counting. Visual examination of the plates was also performed; precipitation or signs of growth inhibition (if any) were recorded and reported. The mean number of revertants per plate, the standard deviation and the mutation factor* values were calculated for each concentration level of the test item and for the controls

Additional information on results:

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
In the preliminary experiment, the numbers of revertant colonies were mostly in the normal range at the non-cytotoxic concentrations (minor differences were detected in some sporadic cases, but they were without biological significance and considered as biological variability of the test system).
Precipitate was detected on the plates in the both tester strains at 5000 and 2500 μg/plate concentrations with and without metabolic activation.
Inhibitory, cytotoxic effect of the test item (reduced/slightly reduced background lawn development and/or reduced number of revertant colonies, in some cases the appearance of pinpoint colonies were also detected) was observed in both tester strains at 2500 μg/plate concentrations with and without metabolic activation; in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 strain at 1000 μg/plate concentration without metabolic activation and in the Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain at 1000 μg/plate concentration with and without metabolic activation. Due to the strong precipitate in both strains at 5000 μg/plate concentration, the possible inhibitory effect at this concentration (indicated by the reduced number of revertants) could be clearly detected in the background lawn only in one plate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The reported data of this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.
In conclusion, the test item B331 had no mutagenic activity in the examined bacterial strains under the test conditions of this study.
