1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1,000 and 5,000 μg/plate (a) , (b) Negative Kilford (2010) Toxicity was observed in all strains at 5,000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of S9‐mix, and at 1,000 μg/plate and above in strains TA98 and TA102 in the absence of S9‐mix and in strains TA1537 and TA102 in the presence of S9‐mix. All strains were negative. Study design complied with current recommendations. Acceptable top concentration was achieved.

S. typhimurium

TA98, TA100, TA1535 TA1537 and TA102

51.2, 128, 320, 800, 2,000 and 5,000 μg/plate (b) , (d) Negative Kilford (2010) Toxicity was observed in strains TA1537 and TA102 at 2,000 μg/plate and above in the absence of S9‐mix and at 320 μg/plate in the presence of S9‐mix. Similar toxicity was also observed in strains TA98, TA100 and TA1535 at 5,000 μg/plate in the absence of S9 and at 800 μg/plate and above in the presence of S9‐mix. Statistically significant differences in mutation frequency were observed only in strain TA100 and only at levels of toxicity (in the absence of S9‐mix at a concentration of 2,000 μg/plate and in the presence of S9‐mix at 320 μg/plate). Study design complied with current recommendations. Acceptable top concentration was achieved.

31.25–1,000 μg/plate (c) , (e) Negative Kilford (2010) Toxicity was observed at 3,500 μg/plate and above in strain TA100 in the absence of S9‐mix. In the presence of S9‐mix, toxicity was observed at 250 μg/plate and above in strains TA1537 and TA102 and at 1,000 μg/plate and above in strains TA100, TA98 and TA1535.
