Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats treated with phenobarbital and beta-naphthoflavone
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Pre-experiment: 3.16, 10, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500, 5000 µg/plate
Experiment 1 (standard plate test): 3.16, 10, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500, 5000 µg/plate

Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle/solvent used: DMSO
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: without S9: sodium azide (TA 100, TA 1535); 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA 98; TA 1537); methylmethanesulfonate (TA 102); with S9: 2-aminoanthracene (all strains without TA102; TA 102)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: diminution of the background lawn or a reduction in the number of revertants

METABOLIC ACTIVATION SYSTEM:
The quality of the S9 homogenate was routinely tested in S. typhimurium using 2-aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered mutagenic if:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or
- a biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one tester strain with or without metabolic activation.
Biologically relevant means:
- number of reversion is at least twice the control (TA 98, TA 100, TA 102)
- number of reversion is at least thrice the control (TA 1535, TA 1537)
Statistics:
Mean and standard deviation (no. of revertant colonies)
