Method

Target gene:
Histidine
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S-9) from a rat induced with Aroclor 1254
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1: 5, 16, 50, 160, 500, 1600, 5000 ug/plate
Experiment 2: 160, 300, 625, 1250, 2500, 5000 ug/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
methylcellulose
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Remarks:
untreated control
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
9-aminoacridine
2-nitrofluorene
sodium azide
benzo(a)pyrene
mitomycin C
other: 2-aminoanthracene
Evaluation criteria:
For valid data, the test article was considered to be mutagenic if:
1. A concentration related increase in revertant numbers was ≥1.5-fold (in strain TA102), ≥2-fold (in strains TA98 or TA100) or ≥3-fold (in strains TA1535 or TA1537) the concurrent vehicle control values
2. The positive trend/effects described above were reproducible.

The test article was considered positive in this assay if both of the above criteria were met.
The test article was considered negative in this assay if neither of the above criteria were met.
Results which only partially satisfied the above criteria were dealt with on a case-bycase basis. Biological relevance was taken into account, for example consistency of response within and between concentrations and (where applicable) between experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded that Soybean meal (CAS 68308-36-1) did not induce mutation in five histidine-requiring strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium when tested under the conditions of this study. These conditions included treatments at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate (the maximum recommended concentration according to current regulatory guidelines).
