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

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replications in 2 independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth (reduction of bacterial background lawn, increase in size of the microcolonies, reduction of the revertant colonies)

OTHER:
the results of the dose range-finding test were included as part of experiment 1
Evaluation criteria:
A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and/or Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following
criteria:
a) The negative control data (number of spontaneous revertants per plate) should be within the laboratory background historical range for each tester strain (see Table 1)
b) The positive control chemicals should produce responses in all tester strains which are within the laboratory historical range documented for each positive control substance. Furthermore, the mean plate count should be at least two times the concurrent vehicle control group mean
c) The selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.

A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in any tester strain at any concentration is not greater than two times the solvent control value, with or without metabolic activation
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) It induces at least a 2-fold, dose related increase in the number of revertants compared to the solvent control value in any of the tester strains, either with or without metabolic activation. However, any plate with a mean plate count of less than 20 colonies is considered to be not significant and the result will be disregarded.
b) The positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: precipitation was observed in all strains, with and without metabolic activation, from 1000 µg/plate and above.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A dose range-finding test with strain TA100 and the WP2uvrA strain (both with and without S9- mix) was performed to select suitable doses for the main experiments. Eight concentrations (3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3330, 5000 µg/plate) were tested in triplicate. The results were reported as a part of the first experiment of the mutation assay. The highest concentration of the test substance used in the main experiments was the level at which the test substance exhibited limited solubility. Precipitation was observed on the plates from 1000 µg/plate and above in both strains.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes, the spontaneous mutation rate of each tester strain per plate were within the characteristic spontaneous mutation range (see Table 1 under 'Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables'), with the exception of TA 100 without metabolic activation. The value was slightly outside the limit of the range, therefore the validity of the test was considered not to be affected.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: no cytotoxicity was observed at any concentration level, with or without metabolic activation (see Table 2 and 3).
