Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Standard Plate Incorporation Tests were performed in both experiments (Experiments 1 and 2) and both experiments were conducted without and with metabolic activation (S9 mix). Test procedures varied in that the proportion of S9 fraction in the S9 mix was 10% in Experiment 1 whereas 20% in Experiment 2.

In both experiments, precipitate was observed on all plates containing WS400128 at 5000 μg/plate.

The following positive controls were used to check mutability of the bacteria and activity of the S9 mix:

Without metabolic activation (S9 mix):

Sodium azide (CAS No. 26628-22-8):
- 2 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strains: TA 1535, TA 100

9-Aminoacridine (CAS No. 90-45-9):
- 50 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strain: TA 1537

2-Nitrofluorene (CAS No. 607-57-8):
- 2 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strain: TA 98

4-Nitroquinoline-1-oxide (CAS No. 56-57-5):
- 2 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strain: WP2 uvrA

With metabolic activation (S9 mix):

2-Aminoanthracene (CAS No. 613-13-8):
- 5 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strains: TA 1535, TA 100
- 10 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strain: WP2 uvrA

Benzo[a]pyrene (CAS No. 50-32-8):
- 5 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO: - strains: TA 1537, TA 98

Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered to exhibit mutagenic activity in this assay if the following criteria are met:
A reproducible increase in revertant colony number, (i.e. at least twice for strains TA 100, TA 98 and WP2 uvrA and at least three times for strains TA 1535 and TA 1537 the concurrent vehicle controls), with some evidence of a positive dose-response relationship. Such positive response in at least one tester strain without or with metabolic activation (S9 mix.) is sufficient for concluding mutagenic activity.

A test substance is considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
Exposure to a test substance does not produce a reproducible increase in revertant colony numbers.
Statistics:
The data were not statistically analysed. The study result was unequivocal.
