Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: The plate incorporation method was applied. Treatment without activation was conducted by adding 0.1 mL of overnight culture containing 1E8 bacteria to top agar supplemented with L-histidine, biotin (for Salmonella strains) or L-tryptophan (for E. coli). The components were mixed and poured onto a plate containing Davis minimal agar. Treatments with activation were conducted as those without activation except that S9 mix was added to the bacteria/top agar mixture before it was poured onto a Davis minimal agar plate. The plates were incubated at approximately 37°C for approximately 48 hours.

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 trials with 3 treatments per concentration
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance was classified as positive when (1) the average number of revertants in any strain at any test substance concentration studied is at least 2 times greater than the average number of revertants in the negative control AND (2) there is a positive dose-response relationship in that same strain. A test substance is classified as negative when (1) there are no test substance concentrations with an average number of revertants which is at least 2 times greater than the average number of revertants in the solvent control OR (2) there is no positive dose-response relationship. A test substance is classified as equivocal when the test substance is not clearly negative yet does not meet the criteria for a positive response.
Statistics:
Trials were evaluated independently. For each selected tester strain, the average number of revertants and the standard deviation at each concentration with and without S9 activation were calculated.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: Background lawn was noticeably thinner and/or size of microcolonies slightly larger than controls in TA1535 at 2500 µg/plate (without activation) and TA98 at 5000 µg/plate (without activation). Background lawn was markedly thinner and/or microcolonies were markedly larger than controls in TA1535 at 5000 µg/plate(without activation).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfil the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability). The test substance was negative when tested in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA1535, TA97, and TA98 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA (pKM101) in the absence and presence of S9 activation.
Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA1535, TA97, and TA98 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA (pKM101) with and without an exogenous metabolic activation system (S9). The maximum concentration tested was 5000 µg/plate. No evidence of mutagenic activity was detected in either of two independent trials. In this study, the test substance was negative.
