DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: Reduced his- background growth, decrease in the number of his revertants)
Evaluation criteria:
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the bacterial tests has to fulfil the following requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate (control)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results

Additional information on results:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON GENOTOXICITY
An increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed both in the routine standard plate test and in the preincubation test either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system. However, after the addition of norharman there was a slight but dose-dependent increase in the number of mutant colonies from about 750 - 1500 µg/plate onward up to 2000 - 2500 µg/plate (factor 2.1 - 2.8) using the strain TA 98.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
Test substance precipitation was found from about 2500 µg/plate onward

CYTOTOXICIY
A bacteriotoxic effect (reduced his- background growth, decrease in the number of his revertants) was observed in the standard plate test depending on the strain and test conditions at doses ≥ 500 µg/plate.
