METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Triplicate.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: Plates were assessed for effects on the growth of the bacterial background lawn.

OTHER EXAMINATIONS
- Other:
Solubility: Test material precipitation was examined on the plates.
Sterlility: (Preliminary study only) The aliquot of 0.1 ml of maximum concentration of the test material (5000 µg/plate) and 2 ml of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented, top agar were overlaid onto a sterile Nutrient agar plate in order to assess the sterility of the test material.

Evaluation criteria:

A test material may be considered positive in the test system if the following criteria are met: the test material should have induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically significant increase in the relevant count in at least one strain of bacteria.

Statistics:

Dunnett’s method of linear regression.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: A slight, oily precipitate was observed under the microscope only at 5000 ug/plate, this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colobies.

PRELIMINARY TOXICITY TEST: The test material was non-toxic to E. coli WP2 uvr A- and S. typhimurium TA100. See Table 1 as attached. The test material formulation and S9-mix used in this experiment were both shown to be effectively sterile.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level.

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.

Executive summary:

Introduction.The method conforms to the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF. It also meets the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test", Method B13/14 of Commission Directive 2000/32/EC and the USA, EPA (TSCA) OPPTS harmonised guidelines.

Methods. Salmonella typhimuriumstrains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA^-were treated with the test material using the Ames plate incorporation method at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolising system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 µg/plate in Experiment 1as the Main test. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using the same dose range as Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test material formulations.

Results.The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.

The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns at any dose level. The test material was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 ug/plate. A slight, oily precipitate was observed under the microscope only at 5000 ug/plate, this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colobies.

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation.

Conclusion.The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
