METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 – 72 hours at 37 °C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: by a decrease in the number of revertants, clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth), reduction in the titer
Evaluation criteria:
Generally, the experiment is considered valid if the following criteria are met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control items both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• The titer of viable bacteria was ≥ 10 e8/mL.

The test item is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test item is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information on results:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: A bacteriotoxic effect was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 10 μg/plate onward. No bacteriotoxicity was observed with E. coli WP2uvrA up to the highest applied dose of 5500 μg/plate in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. In the preincubation assay bacteriotoxicity was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 25 µg/plate onward using four salmonella tester strains. In the preincubation assay with E. coli WP2uvrA weak bacteriotoxicity was observed only in the presence of metabolic activation at 5500 μg/plate.

PRECIPITATION: Test item precipitation was found from 550 μg/plate onward with and without S9 mix.

MUTAGENICITY: The test item did not lead to a relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in three experiments carried out independently of each other (standard plate test and preincubation assay). (see table 1)
