Constituent 1
Method
- Target gene:
- For Salmonella typhimurium strains, the amino acid histidine locus is the target gene, for the E.coli WP2 uvrA strain the amino acid tryptophan locus is the target gene.
Species / strainopen allclose all
- Species / strain / cell type:
- S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- Not applicable
- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
- other: All strains have a defective excision repair system (uvrB) which results in greatly enhanced sensitivity to some mutagens and considerably reduced hydrophilic polysaccharide layer (rfa), which Ieads to an increase in permeability to lipophilic substances.
- Species / strain / cell type:
- E. coli WP2 uvr A
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- Not applicable
- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
- other: Deficient excision repair.
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- S9- mix
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- In the standard plate test (STP): 0; 20; 100; 500; 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
In the preincubation test (PIT): 0; 4; 20; 100; 500 and 2500 µg/plate - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in water, DMSO was selected as the vehicle. It has already been demonstrated that DMSO is to be suitable to be used in bacterial reverse mutation tests and historical control data exists.
Controlsopen allclose all
- Untreated negative controls:
- no
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- True negative controls:
- no
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:

- Positive control substance:
- N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
- Remarks:
- N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine was used in the TA 1535 and in the TA 100 strains without the presence of S-9 mix.
- Positive control substance:
- 9-aminoacridine
- Remarks:
- 9-aminoacridine was used in the TA 1537 strain without the presence of S-9 mix.
- Positive control substance:
- 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
- Remarks:
- 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide was used in the E.coli strain without the presence of S-9 mix.
- Positive control substance:

- Remarks:
- 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine was used in the TA 98 strain without the presence of S-9 mix.
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); in suspension (preincubation)
DURATION
- Preincubation period: In the plate incorporation plate test (standard plate test) there is no preincubation period (with the test substance). In the preincubation test: 20 min., before the mixture of the bacteria, test substance and medium are poured to the selective minimal agar.
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Minimal agar without histidine or tryptophan.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
Indication for mutagenicity: An increase in the number of revertants (his+), trp(+).
DETERMINATION OGF CYTOTOXICITY:
3. Toxicity is detected by a:
- decrease in the number of revertants
- clearing or diminution of the background lawn
- reduction in the titer
All these parameters were recorded for all test groups both with and without S-9 mix in all experiments. - Evaluation criteria:
- 1. The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria is met:
A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either with or without S-9 mix.
2. A test substance is generally considered no mutagenic in this test if:
The numbers of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments which were carried out independently of each other. - Statistics:
- The mean number of revertant colonies per plate, titer, and the standard deviations were calculated for all dose groups as well as for the positive and negative (vehicle) controls in all experiments.
