Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION
- DOSE-RANGE FINDING TEST and EXPERIMENT 1: in agar (plate incorporation)
- EXPERIMENT 2: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period (EXPERIMENT 2 only): 30 minutes by 70 rpm at 37°C
- Exposure duration: 48 ± 4 h in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS
3 plates/dose

COLONY COUNTING
Revertant colonies (histidine independent (His+) for Salmonella typhimurium bacteria and tryptophan independent (Trp+) for Escherichia coli) were counted automatically with the Sorcerer Colony Counter. Plates with sufficient test item precipitate to interfere with automated colony counting were counted manually. Evidence of test item precipitate on the plates and the condition of the bacterial background lawn were evaluated when considered necessary, macroscopically and/or microscopically by using a dissecting microscope.
Evaluation criteria:
see section "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables"
