Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hour
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain. Two independent experiments were conducted.
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 10E8 per plate
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: the reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The presence of precipitation of the test compound on the plates was determined.
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive if:
a) A two-fold (TA100) or more or a three-fold (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, WP2uvrA) or more increase above solvent control in the mean number of revertant colonies is observed in the test substance group.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: no precipitation was observed up to and including the top dose of 5000 µg/plate
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
- toxicity was observed at the dose levels of 5000 μg/plate and above in the absence of S9-mix in tester strain TA100.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
- the negative and strain-specific positive control values were within our laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

All bacterial strains showed negative responses over the entire dose range, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments.
