Any other information on results incl. tables

Neither reproducible increase in the number of revertants colonies per plate in any strain with or without metabolic activation system was detected. Besides, the statistical test applied showed no significant difference between the number of revertants colonies for assy sample vs. negative control.

The verification of the genetic characteristics showed that the test strain maintained the required genetic prperties in both the assay repetitions.

The test substance did not show toxic effets either in the presence or absence of the enzymatic system for metabolism activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test substance proved to be not mutagenic for all the test strains, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
