Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min

-Number of replicates: duplicate plates for the test substance and control groups in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- The background lawn was examined with a microscope.
Evaluation criteria:
Validity of the test result:
Evaluation of the validity of the study was performed based on the following criteria;
- The mean number of revertant colonies for negative and positive controls shall be within the range of historical control data.
- Each test strain should exhibit a remarkable increase in average mutagen induced revertant colonies above the average number of colonies for the negative control, when treated with positive control.
- The results of preliminary dose range-finding test and bacterial reverse mutation test should be reproducible. Otherwise, reproducibility should be clarified by further testing.

Criteria for assessing mutagenic potential:
The test substance was considered positive if the following conditions are met:
- The number of revertant colonies in each dose level treated with the test substance should be increased at least twice as compared with that of the negative control group.
- The number of revertant colonies should be dose dependently increased.
- The results should be reproducible.
