Method

Target gene:
Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537) and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA
The direct incorporation method: For test without metabolic activation, the test substance and 0.1 ml of fresh bacterial culture were added to
2.0 ml of overlay agar. For tests with metabolic activation, 0.5 ml of metabolic activation mixture containing an adequate amount of postmitochondrial
fraction was added to the overlay agar after the addition of the bacteria and test substance. All plates in a given test should be incubated for the
same time period.
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:

Metabolic activation:
with and without
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
12, 37, 111, 333, 1,000 and 3,000 ug/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
Solvent: sterile distilled water
Description of follow up repeated study: Preliminary test had carried out to decide the appropriate starting dose level of the main study at the
concentration of 1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1,000 and 3,000 μg/plate

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Test condition :
Number of replicates: one
Frequency of dosing: 2 plates/dose
Positive and negative control groups and treatment: Negative control solvent
control (sterile distilled water), positive control: 2-aminoanthracene with S9, Sodium azide, 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide, 9-aminoacridine
Number of metaphases analyzed: Not analyzed
Solvent: sterile distilled water
Description of follow up repeated study: Preliminary test had carried out to decide the appropriate starting dose level of the main study at the
concentration of 1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1,000 and 3,000 μg/plate.
Criteria for evaluating results: the number of revertant colonies in the plate was counted after 2 days incubation at 37 °C.
The direct incorporation method: For test without metabolic activation, the test substance and 0.1 ml of fresh bacterial culture were added to
2.0 ml of overlay agar. For tests with metabolic activation, 0.5 ml of metabolic activation mixture containing an adequate amount of postmitochondrial
