Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

The assay was performed in two independent experiments, using identical procedures, both with and without· liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate.

Evaluation criteria:
A test article is considered as mutagen if in strain TA 100 the number of reversions is at least twice as high and in strains
TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, and TA 98 it is at least three times higher as compared to the spontaneous reversion rate.

Also, a dose-dependent increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential
of the test article regardless whether the highest dose induced the above described enhancement factors or not.
