Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Bacterial test strains were used, both in the standard plate test and in the preincubation test, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (+S9, -S9, respectively). DMSO was used as solvent. Three test plates per dose or per control were run in each of the 3 experiments.
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical 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 S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments carried out independently of each other.
