- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- - Source of tester strains: American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Maryland
- Way of application : Test substance was diluted in water. In test tubes, agar, bacterial suspension and test substance solution was added. The agar was supplemented with a histidin/biotin solution (0.5 mM) prior to experiment. Finally, either S9 mix or the according amount of water were added. The suspension was then spread on minimal agar dishes.
- Number of replicates: two independent experiments
- Examinations: Number of bacterial colonies was automatically counted. Each value was measured in triplicate.
- Incubation time: 48 hours

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- negative without metabolic activation
negative with metabolic activation - Executive summary:
P3 oxonia aktiv (4.6 % peracetic acid, 29.4 % hydrogen peroxide, 7.4 % acetic acid) was tested for its in vitro mutagenicity in an bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames-test). 5 different concentrations of the test material were applied to 6 different strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA 98) in two independent experimental series. The tests were performed on agar plates in the absence or presence of post-mitochondrial supernatant fluids from the liver of male rats treated with Aroclor 1254 (S9-mix).
P3 oxonia aktiv did not induce reverse mutations in the presence or absence of S9-mix in the tested strains of Salmonella typhimurium.
