Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The genotype of bacterial strains is checked:
-Histidine and tryptophane requirements with cultures in presence and in absence of L-histidine and L-triptophane for Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli strains respectively.
-Loss of cell wall LPS (rfa mutation) measuring crystal violet inhibition for Salmonella typhimurium strains.
-Ampicillin resistance for the strains which have the pKM 101 plasmide.
-delta-uvr B mutation i.e. U.V.B sensitivity for Salmonella typhimurium and delta-uvr A mutation i.e. U.V.A sensitivity for Escherichia coli.
-Spontaneous revertant rate.
-Sensitivity to reference mutagens
Evaluation criteria:
Ensure that the criteria of validity of the study are well respected namely :
- the bacteriostatic activity of the highest concentration tested shall be equal to or less than 75 %,
- the spontaneous reversion rate of the absolute negative control shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory,
- the spontaneous reversion rate of the solvent shall not be statistically different from absolute negative control,
- the mean number of revertant colonies obtained for each strain and the corresponding positive control, with and/or without metabolic activation shall comply with the historical values of the laboratory.
- Negative and positive values should not show significant difference with the historical values of the laboratory (± 2 standard deviations).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Doses (5 000, 1 500, 500, 150 and 50 μg/plate) prepared from solutions of the test item 1,4-DIBROMONAPHTHALENE do not induce any mutagenic change in Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2(uvrA¯) (pKM 101) without, or with metabolic activation, according to the OECD Guidelines n° 471.
