Method

Target gene:
Method: Standard plate (accord. to Ames et al.) and preincubation
test (accord. to Matsushima et al.)
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
1st experiment: standard plate test
0, 20, 100, 500, 2500, 5000 µg/plate tested with all tester strains. Solvent was aqua dest. 3 plates per dose and
control.
2nd experiment: preincubation test
0, 100, 500,2500, 5000, 7500 µg/plate tested with TA 100. 3 plates per dose and control.
Positive controls:
2.5 and 10 µg 2-aminoanthracene (+S9, all strains); -S9: 5 µg MNNG (TA 100, TA 1535), 10 µg 4-nitrophenylenediamine (TA 98), 100 µg 9-aminoacridine chloride monohydrate (TA 1537). DMSO was used as solvent.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Result:         Complete solubility of TS in aqua dest. was given.

No bacteriotoxic effect (reduced his- background growth) was noted.

No increase of revertants was seen in the standard plate or preincubation test, with or without S9 mix, in any tester strain.

The mean revertant increase by positive control substances was given.
