Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: gene mutation
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Comparable to guideline study but with restrictions (no GLP, only few details on experimental procedure, E. coli was not included to detect cross-linking, in experiments with metabolic activation a positive control was only investigated in TA1535)

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 h at 37 °C in darkness

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates each concentration or control group
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance was generally considered to be non-mutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control is not doubled at any concentration.
Statistics:
When the colonies had been counted, the arithmetic mean was calculated.
