- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Samples of each bacterial strain were grown up by culturing for 16 h at 37°C in nutrient broth (25 g Oxoid Nutrient Broth No. 2 per litre). Fresh overnight cultures were used in the tests for this study. Samples from cultures were kept for up to 7 days at 4°C to allow relevant checks to be performed.Two experiments were conducted in both the absence and presence of S9 mix. The first test was performed using the Direct Plate Incorporation Method. If the first test was negative, the repeat test was performed using the Pre-Incubation Method. If the the first test was positive, the second test was also performed using the Direct Plate Incorporation Method to confirm the response. Triplicate plates were poured for each exposure level (n=6) and bacterial strain (n=5) in the absence or presence of S9. Aseptic techniquies, conducted under amber light, were used throughout the study. All water used in the preparation of reagents wa sproduced (in-house) by reverse osmosis followed by mixed-bed deionisation and sterilisation by autoclaving.Toxicity tests: S. typhimurium strain TA 100 was used for the toxicity tests, according to the direct plate mutation assay (see below). Plates were incubated at 37°C for 2-3 days. The number of revertant colonies were noted, and the paltes examined microscopically for thinning of the background lawn or microcolonies. Mutation testsDiluted agar (0.6% Difco Bacto-agar, 0.6% NaCl) was autoclaved, and just before use supplemented as follows: For S. typhimurium, sterile 1.0 mM L-histidine.HCl, 1.0 mM biotin solution was added at 50 mL per litre of soft agar. For E. coli, sterile 1.35 mM L-tryptophan solution was added at 10 mL per litre of soft agar. These soft agars were thoroughly mixed and kept in a water bath at 45°C.Direct plate method: 2 mL of soft agar were dispensed into a small, plastic, sterile tube. S9 mix or 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 (0.5 mL) was added, followed by 0.1 mL of bacteria and, finally, the test item solution (0.1 mL). The tube contents (which were continually cooling) were mixed, then poured on to minimal medium plates prepared in-house. The minimal medium plates contained 20 mL of 1.5% BBL Purified Agar in Vogel-Bonner Medium E (Vogel and Bonner, 1956) with 2% glucose.Pre-incubation method: For this assay method, 0.5 mL of S9 mix or 0.05 M phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 was dispensed into a small, plastic, sterile tube followed by 0.1 mL of bacteria and, finally, the test solution (0.1 mL). The tubes were then placed in a shaking incubator at ca 37°C for 20 min. After incubation, 2 mL of soft agar was added to each tube. The tube contents were then mixed and poured onto minimal medium plates (preparation described above).When the soft agar had set, the plates were inverted and incubated at ca 37°C for 2 or 3 days and then examined. The numbers of mutant colonies on each plate were determined using a Sorcerer Colony Counter and captured electronically in a validated software system Ames Study Manager (both from Perceptive Instruments). The plates were also examined microscopically for precipitates and for microcolony growth.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Toxicity test: number of revertant colonies and thinning of the background lawn.Mutation tests: For S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 98 and for E. coli WP2uvrA, at least a doubling of the mean concurrent vehicle control value was required before mutagenic activity was suspected. For S. typhimurium strain TA 100, a 1.5-fold increase over the control value was considered indicative of a mutagenic effect.If the mean colony count on the vehicle control plates was less than 10, then a value of 10 was assumed for assessment purposes. In such cases, a minimum count of 20 (representing a 2-fold increase over 10) was required before a response was registered. A concentration-related response was also required for identification of a mutagenic effect. At high concentrations this relationship may be reversed because of, for example, toxicity of the test item to the bacteria, specific toxicity of the test item to the mutants, or inhibition of S9 enzymes (where a mutagen requires metabolic activation by the S9 mix). A response should be reproducible in an independent test.
- Statistics:
- The mean number of mutant colonies, plus standard deviation, was calculated for each set of 3 plates. In addition, the fold-increase over the vehicle control was calculated for all test item and positive control treatments. No statistical analysis was performed in this study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):negative with and without metabolic activationNo evidence of mutagenicity was seen under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
CAPA 3050 was tested for mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA. CAPA 3050 was dissolved and diluted in dimethylsulphoxide. Two independent tests were conducted on agar plates in triplicate in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activaiton (S9 mix). The first test was conducted by the direct plate incorporation method, while the second test was conducted by the pre-incubation method. CAPA 3050 was dosed at concentrations ranging from 17 to 5000 μg per plate (the predetermined maximum). Concurrent positive controls demonstrated the sensitivity of the assay and the metabolising activity of the S9 mix. No evidence of mutagenic activity was obtained with any strain in either test. CAPA 3050 was not toxic to the bacteria. CAPA 3050 precipitated at concentrations of 1667 and 5000 μg per plate. It was concluded that CAPA 3050 is not mutagenic in strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli when tested in dimethylsulphoxide in the absence and presence of metabolic activation at concentrations up to the predetermined maximum of 5000 μg per plate. The concentration of 5000 μg per plate also exceeded the limit of solubility of CAPA 3050 in the test system
