Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replications each in 2 independent experiments
Evaluation criteria:
The test material may be considered positive in this test system if a combination of the following criteria are met:
- the plate background of non-reverted bacteria does not show any growth reduction versus the respective negative controls.
- the spontaneous mutation rates of each tester strain per plate are within the characteristic spontaneous mutation range.
- the positive controls show mutation rates exceeding the control values of TA100 at least two fold and those of the other strains at least by the factor 3.
- at more than one dose tested, at least a two-fold (or more) increase in comparison with the negative controls in the tester strain TA100. For the other strains, an increase in the mutation rate of more than 3 above the corresponding negative controls.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Other confounding effects: Contamination of 1 plate of strain TA98 in the second experiment (1000 µg/plate), therefore only 2 individual values were used for calculation of the mean number of revertant colonies at this concentration.
