Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 h
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 h
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: test concentrations plated in triplicate, experiment repeated

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: inhibition of bacterial growth


ACTIVATION: 1 ML of S9 mix contained 8 µmol MgCL2, 33 µmol of KCl, 5 µmol of glucose-6-phosphate, 4 µmol of NADPH, 100 µmol of sodium phosphate buffer and 0.1 ml S9. 0.5 ml S9 was added to 0.1 ml test substance and 0.1 ml of bacterial culture medium was added to 2 ml of top agar, resulting in a final concentration of approximately 2% S9.
Evaluation criteria:
An increase in the number of revertants above twice that of the negative (solvent) control was judged to be a positive result.
Statistics:
No statistical treatment was done.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Polysulfides (CAS 211519 -85 -9; EC 606-716-5) has been testing according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP. No increase in the number of reversions was observed in S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 or E. coli WP2 uvrA, with or without metabolic activation, when tested up to limit concentrations. The initial and the repeat study used the preincubation method and the results were in agreement. Appropriate solvent and positive controls were included and gave expected results. It is concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
