Evaluation criteria:

All tester strain cultures exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls. Acceptable ranges
are presented in the standard test method of this report with historical control ranges up to and including 1997 and 1998 presented in an Appendix to this report.
The appropriate characteristics for each tester strain have been confirmed, eg rfa cell-wall mutation and pkM101 plasmid R-factor etc.
All tester strain cultures were in the range of 1 to 9.9 x 10-9 bacteria per ml.
Each mean positive control value was at least two times the respective vehicle control value for each strain, thus demonstrating both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagenic exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. The historical control ranges up to and including 1997 and 1998 are presented in an Appendix to this report.

Additional information on results:

Observations:
Solvent control plates gave counts of revertant colonies
within the normal range.

All positive control chemicals gave increases in revertants,
either with or without the metabolising system as
appropriate, within expected ranges. No statistically
significant increase in the number of revertant colonies was
recorded for any of the bacterial strains with any dose of
the substance, either with or without metabolic activation.
The substance was found to be non-mutagenic under the
conditions of the test.
