MUTAGEMICI.TY P.VALUATIQa IN SALMONELLA/TYPH1MURIUM
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this test is to detenaine whether the test sample causes nutationa in Salmonella typhiiauriiga strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA lOOo These strains cannot produce hiafcidine because o mutations in the genes coding for enzymes involved in tha synthesis of this essential amino acid. Individual bacteria acquiring a specific nutation in these genea regain tbe ability to synthesize histldine* These revercanca form visible colonies in agar. A comparison of the number of revertants observed in the presence and absence of test sample indicates whether the sample induces mutations in these strains of bacteria.
METHODS
Plate Incorputdtion Assay - Solids and Nonvolatile Liquids
The assay uas performed in the presence and the absence of a rat-liver homogenate activation system similar to the method described by Aaies, et al.
(Mutation Res. 31^347-36/t, 1975). Treatments without activation were conducted by adding 0.1 ml -of the solvent or a solution oCgthe test. sample and 0.1 ml of an overnight culture containing approximately 10 bacteria to 2 pi of cop agar (U.6X agar, U.6X MaCl. O.U5 mM L-histidiae, O.U5 mM blotin). These components were mixed and poured on the surface of a plate containing 20 ml of Uavts minimal agar. Treatments with activation were conducted by add^g U.b ail of S-y mix to Che bacteria/test sample/top agar and pourics the mixture onto a minimal agar plate. The S-^ mix contained per ml: U.3 ml of S-y diluted with 0.15 H KCL (1.6 mg oi. irotein), 8 micromoles MgCl, 33 lalcromoles
KCi, 5 micromoles Eiucose-6-phosphate, 4 micromoies NADP and tuu micromoles
sodium phosphate (from a 0.2 M stock sodium phosphate solution at pH P.^).

The S-9 was the 9,000 x g supernatant of liver homogenace (I gm wet liver;3 ml
0.15 M KC1). The livers were obtained from 8 to 9 week old male Charles River CD rats given 500 mg of Aroclor 1254/kg five days before aacrlflce. The revercact colonies were counted after the places were Incubated at 37 "C for ^ti
houra.
Positive (known xnutagens) and negative (solvent) controls were Included
In all assays.
The cytotoxicity of the test sample In the presence and absence of an activation system, as measured In strain TA 1535, was the basis for selecting concentrations for the mutagenesis experiments The protocol used to
determine the cycotoxicity was Identical Co the mutagenesis protocol except that 10 rather than 10 bacteria were used per pi-ata and excess histidine was
present. Concentrations of test sample that were noncoxic and, if possible,
sUphtly toxic .were selected for the mutageneais asb^y. The concentrations of test sample per ml of treatment medium per plate
were calculated with the following assumptions; liquids - the solvent and test sample volumes were additive; solids - the addition of test sample did not change the volume of solvent*
Spot Test in a Closed System
The plate incorporation assay may not be the best method to test liquid samples that vaporize appreciably when this protocol is followed. A spot sesc
in a close.4 system is performed on all nonaqueous liquids to aid in
identifying samples with volatile mutagen.^ components. These samples are
tested by differenC protocols.
,,
Experiments without activation were performed by adding 10 bacteria (in
0.1 t&l) to 2.0 nil of standard mutsgenesis top agsr, sixing iiiiiae.iiai.ely, and pouring on a Davis minimal agar place. Experiments with activation were
performed In the same aannt-r except that 0.5 ml of S-9 mix was also added
before mixing. All components used for this assay were identical to the ones
used in the plate incorporation assay.
A sterile disk saturated with test compound was placed in the center of one of two replicate places* The place with the disk was inverted and the
other place was stacked on top of it. Both plates were sealed in a plastic
bag and incubated for 4a hours at 37C.
Use of Data:
1) A Plate Incorporation Assay - Solids and Nonvolar.ile Liquids is
performed if the spot test is negative. 2) If the spot test is positive, a limited Place Incorporation Assay -
Solids and nonvolatile Liquids is performed with only the strains and conditions in which mutagenic activity was suggested in the spot.
test. A complete assay ;s performed if mutagenic activity is
observed in the limited assay.
3) If the limited assay is negative, the test sample is assayed
according to the plate assay protocols for testing gases and volatile
liquids.

Statistical Analyota^ The data points (number of revertante/plata, x) were transformed prior to
"
analysis using the power tranefonaation y " x . Two analyaes were
performed. In the first analysis the response observed at each concentration
waa compared to the control by a ftest of significance: to detenaine which
dose levels produced significant increases in outaiion frequency. In the
second analysis the significance of the -iose-responae relati nahip was tested. Linear, quadratic, and higher order dose-reBponBe effects were tested in an
F-teat of significance. In addition, an anaiyaia was conducted to determine
whether the dose-response relationship u&e, different in different trials. The following guidelines are used co claasify a.test sample as a mutageo
oc nonmutagen in the asaay.
A test sample is classified as a nonmucagen when:
A. The probability ia greater than 0.05 that the numbers of revertant8 at each of the teat sample concentrations studied are not greater than the number of revertants in the solvent control.
&HD
B. The probability is greater thar 0.05 that there ia not a positive correlation between the numbers of revertants and increasing
0 concentrations of the te&t sample. A test sample: is classified as a mutagen when:
A. The probability ia less than O.Ol chat the numbers o ravertants at one or more of the test sample concentrations studied are not greater than the number of revertant8 in the solvent control.
AMD
B. The probability ia less than 0.01 that there Is not a positive .-urrelatton between the number of revertanta and increasing concentrations of the teac sample.
Test samples that cannot be classified by the above criteria are dealt with on
a case~by~ca8e basis.
A detailed description of the statistical methods is available (J. D. Irr
and R. D, Snee. 1979. Statis:icat Evaluation of Mutageniclty in the CUO/UGPRT System. In Banbury Report 2-Mananalian Cell Mucagenesisi The^ Maturation of Teat Systema (ed. A. W. Hale, J. P. O'Neill, and V. K.
