Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Positive induction of mutation frequence.
Executive summary:

The test was performed according to OECD 471 on five strains of S. typhimurium (TA1535; TA1537; TA98; TA100 and TA1538). A deviation from the guideline was present, since the E.coli strains or the S.typhimurium TA102, as recommended, were not evaluated. These strains should be used in order to evaluate certain oxidising mutagen, cross-linking agents and hydrazines.

The test substance showed a strain-dependent weak to moderate mutagenic effect without metabolic activation from 2500 μg/plate onward. In presence of metabolic activation no mutagenic effect was observed for TA1535, TA1538 and TA98 and a weak mutagenic effect for TA100 and TA1537 (> 2500 μg/plate). With metabolic activation, no or only weak mutagenic activity was determined.
