- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation).
To 2 ml of the top agar were added 0.1 ml of one of bacterial suspensions in phosphate buffer (1/15 M), 0.1 ml of the solution of the test item and, when required, 0.5 ml of the S9 mix (0.3 ml of S9 fraction/ml S9 mix). The contents were poured onto the surface of a minimal agar plate with modified Vogel-Bonner E medium. Plates were incubated at 37 ºC for 2 days, after which the number of revertant colonies on each plate was counted.

- Additional information on results:
- The test item was positive in the base-change-type strains (E.coli WP2 hcr and Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA100), but negative in the frameshift-type strains (TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98). The response in S. typhimurium TA 1535 and E.coli WP2 hcr was defined to be weakly positive as the number of revertants did not reach the criteria for a positive result but showed a dose-resposne relationship.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
positive
The test item was found to be positive in the base-change-type strains (E.coli WP2 hcr and Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA100). Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate is considered to be genotoxic in vitro. - Executive summary:
Sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate was tested for mutagenicity in a bacterial reversion-assay system with 5 strains (TA 100, TA 98, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538) of Salmonella typhimurium and a strain (WP2 hcr) of Escherichia coli, following a method equivalent or similar to the OECD Guideline 471. The experiment was carried out in the presence and the absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). The test item was dissolved in DMSO and was tested at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate. The test item was found to be positive in the base-change-type strains (E.coli WP2 hcr and Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA100), but negative in the frameshift-type strains (TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98). From the results of the present study, the test substance is considered to be genotoxic in vitro.
