DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: The dose-finding assay and main assay were carried out in triplicates.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in the number his+ colonies, clearing of the bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
The test article is judged to be mutagenic or weakly mutagenic, if it produced a reproducible dose-related increase in his+ revertants compared to the corresponding solvent control.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard error of means were calculated.
