Remarks:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); if the first assay result was negative the second assay was performed as a preincubation assay, and if the first assay result was positive the second assay was performed as a plate incorporation assay

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min (second assay)
- Exposure duration: 48 hrs

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replications in 2 independent assays

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
It induces a dose-resonse in the range tested and/or
a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in the number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with ot without mutagenic activation is observed.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviation were calculated.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: no precipitation was observed at any dose level, with and without metabolic activation.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes, the negative control and test substance results fell within the historical control data range (see Table 1 under 'Any other information on material and methods incl. tables').

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: no cytotoxicity was observed up to and including the highest dose level, which is the limit dose level recommended in the OECD 471 guideline.

OTHER: Only 2-amino anthracene was used as a positive control, however, dilutions of the sample S9-mix were tested and confirmed to activate benzo(a)pyrene and 2-amino anthracene.
