Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Vorprodukt Katalysator WAZ 5596B was screened with one plate per dose using the Salmonella/microsome test (plate incorporation and preincubation method) for point mutagenic effects in doses up to and including 128 µg per plate on five Salmonella thypimurium LT2 mutants. These comprised the histidine-auxotropic strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 102.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Doses up to and including 16 µg per plate did not cause any bacteriotoxic effects : Total bacteria counts remained unchanged and no inhibition of growth was observed. At higher doses, the substance had a strong, strain-specific bacteriotaxic effect, so that this range could only be used to a limited extent up to and including 32 µg per plate for assessment purposes.

Executive summary:

Vorprodukt Katalysator WAZ 5596B was screened with one plate per dose using the Salmonellajmicrosome test (plate incorporation

and preincubation method) for point mutagenic effects in doses of up to and including 128 µg per plate on five Salmonella

typhimurium LT2 mutants. These comprised the histidine-auxotrophic strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 102.

Doses up to and including 16 µg per plate did not cause any bacteriotoxic effects : Total bacteria counts remained unchanged and no inhibition of growth was observed. At higher doses, the substance had a strong, strain-specific bacteriotaxic effect, so that this range could only be used to a limited extent up to and including 32 µg per plate for assessment purposes.

Evidence of mutagenic activity of Vorprodukt Katalysator WAZ 5596B was not seen. No biologically relevant increase in the mutant count, in comparison with the negative controls, was observed .

The positive controls sodium azide, nitrofurantoin, 4-nitro-1,2-phenylene diamine, cumene hydroperoxide and 2-aminoanthracene

had a marked mutagenic effect, as was seen by a biologically relevant increase in mutant colonies compared to the corresponding negative controls.

Therefore, Vorprodukt Katalysator WAZ 55968 was considered to be non-mutagenic without and with 89 mix in the plate incorporation as well as in the preincubation modification of the Salmonella/microsome test.
