Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
negative with and without metabolic activation
The test item is not mutagenic in this Ames test
Executive summary:

This study was performed to investigate the potential of the test item, to induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium.

The test item was then tested in two independent experiments, with and without a metabolic activation system, the S9 mix.

Four strains of bacteria S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 were used. Each strain was exposed to five concentration levels 20, 100, 500, 2500, 12500 ug/per plate

Concurrent untreated negative and positive controls were evaluated.

The substance was found as negative with and without metabolic activation for genotoxicity
