Method
- Target gene:
- All Salmonella typhimurium strains were obtained from TRINOVA BioChem GmbH (batch: TA97a: 5033D, TA98: 5136D, TA100: 5141D, TA102: 5145D, TA1535: 5138D) and were stored as lyophilizates in the refrigerator at 2-8 °C.

- S. typhimurium TA 97
- Remarks:
- TA97a
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 98

- S. typhimurium TA 100
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 102
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- S9 mix
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The following nominal concentrations were prepared for the first experiment:
5 µL/plate, 1.5 µL/plate, 0.5 µL/plate, 0.15 µL/plate and 0.05 µL/plate
The following nominal concentrations were prepared for the second experiment:
5 µL/plate, 2.5 µL/plate, 1.25 µL/plate, 0.63 µL/plate, 0.31 µL/plate and 0.16 µL/plate - Vehicle / solvent:
- ddH2O was used as solvent to dissolve the test substance.
Controls
- Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Remarks:
- ddH2O and DMSO were used
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- sodium azide
- benzo(a)pyrene
- other: 2-aminoantracene
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- All vessels used are made of glass or sterilizable plastic. They were sterilized before use by autoclaving.
The following vessels were used:
• Schott-bottles, glass vials, and culture flasks for solutions and media
• Plastic petri plates
• test tubes for top-agar-bacteria-substance mix
Eight hours before the start of each experiment, one vial permanent culture of each strain was taken from the deep freezer and an aliquot was put into a culture flask containing nutrient broth. After incubation for eight hours at 37 ±1 °C, the cultures were used in the experiment. During the test, the cultures were stored at room temperature as to prevent changes in the titre. - Evaluation criteria:
- The colonies were counted visually and the numbers were recorded. A validated spread-sheet software (Microsoft Excel®) was used to calculate mean values and standard devia-tions of each treatment, solvent control and positive control.
The mean values and standard deviations of each threefold determination was calculated as well as the increase factor f(l) of revertant induction (mean revertants divided by mean spontaneous revertants) of the test item solutions and the positive controls. Additionally, the absolute number of revertants (Rev. Abs.) (mean revertantslessmean spontaneous revertants) was given.
A substance is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate exceeding an increase factor of 2 in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested is also taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.

Any other information on results incl. tables
The test item Acetoin showed no increase in the number of revertants in all bacteria strainsin both experiments.
All negative and nearly all strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Acetoin is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535 in the absence and presence of metabolic activation under the experimental conditions in this study.
