Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in glucose agar
- Cell density at seeding: 10^9 cells/mL

DURATION
- Preincubation period: no
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates/dose

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: colonies were counted by a colony counter (ProtoCOL3, Syniosis, UK). To confirm the presence or absence of growth inhibition, the background lawn was observed using a stereoscopic microscope (45-fold magnification, SZ61, Olympus, Japan).

OTHER:
- Evaluation of microbial contamination: the presence or absence of colonies formed by microbial contamination in the plates was evaluated by placing 100 μL of the high dose formulation, 500 μL of 0.1 mol/L sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) and 500 μL of S9 mix in tubes and incubating these in a shaking water bath (37°C, 90 rpm) for 20 minutes, followed by a 48 hour incubation period.

ACCEPTABILITY CRITERIA
- The mean number of revertant colonies for the negative and positive controls should be within the range of the historical control data or the mean number of revertant colonies in the positive control groups should be increased at least twice as compared to the negative control group.
- No plate should show any evidence of contamination.

Evaluation criteria:

The results of the study were considered to be positive when the number of revertant colonies in any strain at one or more doses was increased at least two times when compared to the negative control group. There should be dose dependency or reproducibility as dose increases.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation (dose range finding study): at 5000 μg/plate (without S9) and from 1250 μg/plate (with S9)
- Precipitation (main studies): only with S9: at dose levels > 625 μg/plate for TA98, TA1535 and WP2uvrA

GROWTH INHIBITION:
Main studies (without S9): at 313 μg/plate for TA98; above 39.1 μg/plate for TA100 and TA1537; above 156 μg/plate for TA1535; at 1250 μg/plate for WP2uvrA.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Based on the results of an Ames test, performed according to OECD guideline 471, STABiO D-376N was concluded not to be mutagenic.

Executive summary:

An Ames test was performed, according to OECD guideline 471 and GLP principles, to assess the mutagenic potential of STABiO D-376N. Four Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and one Escherichia coli strain

(WP2uvrA) were used in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (S9). In the dose range finding test, the test substance was tested up to a dose level of 5000 μg/plate. In the two main tests, dose levels were tested up to the lowest dose level where precipitation occurred in the range finding test. The mean number of revertant colonies for the negative and positive controls were within the historical data range. In the positive control group, the mean number of revertant colonies was markedly increased more than twice when compared to that of the negative control group. In the main tests, the mean number of revertant colonies was less than twice when compared to the negative control group at all dose levels of the test substance in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Based on the results of this study, STABiO is considered not to be mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse assay and the Escherichia coli reverse assay.
