Details on test system and experimental conditions:
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration (single, duplicate, triplicate): 3 plates/concentration
- Number of independent experiments: 2

METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Test substance added in agar (plate incorporation)

TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: approximately 48 hours at 37°C in the dark

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, e.g.: Thinning of the bacterial lawn and reduction of the number of colonies
Rationale for test conditions:
The test compound did not precipitate up to the highest inverstigated dose of 5000 µg/plate.
Evaluation criteria:
A test article is classified mutagenic if either of the following conditions under a) and b) is achieved:

a) a test article produces at least a 2-fold increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate
vehicle control at complete bacterial background lawn

b) a test article induces a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at
least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control in at least two to three concentrations of the test article at complete bacterial
background lawn.
The test results must be reproducible.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
negative
Executive summary:

The test compound did not cause a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies with any of the tester strains neither in the absence nor in the presence of S-9 Mix. No dose dependent effect was obtained in a concentration range from 4 - 5000 µg/plate. The test was performed in two independent experiments. It is concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic in these bacterial test systems neither in the absence nor in the presence of an exogenous metabolizing system.
