Executive Summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (MRID 44487801), strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 of S. typhimurium and strain WP2(uvrA) of E. coli were exposed to Granola 97 (Batch No. 703001, 98.3% a.i.) in DMSO at concentrations of 25 (WP2(uvrA) only), 75, 200, 600, 1800, and 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation (S9-mix). The S9-fraction was obtained from Aroclor 1254 induced male Sprague-Dawley rat liver.
Granola 97 was tested up to a limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate. In the preliminary cytotoxicity assay, no thinning of the background lawn was seen at any concentration up to and including 5000 µg/plate in any of the five tester strains, with or without S9-mix. Some reduction in the number of revertants per plate was seen both with and without S9-mix at 1000 µg/plate and higher concentrations in WP2(uvrA). The mean number of revertants per plate at 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg/plate in this strain was reduced, compared to the solvent control value of 21 both with and without S9-mix, to 8, 5, and 3, respectively, with S9-mix and to 7, 8 and 4, respectively, without S9-mix. Granola 97 was not mutagenic to any of the five tester strains at any concentration tested, with or without S9-mix. Solvent and positive control values were appropriate for the respective strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background
This study is classified as acceptable (guideline). It satisfies the requirement for FIFRA Test Guideline 84-2 for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.

For each plate, 500 µL of S9-mix (or 500 µL of 100 mM phosphate buffer), 100 µL of an overnight culture of the desired bacteria tester strain and 50 µL of solvent or test material were added to 2 mL of molten selective top agar at 45"2°C (media composition is given in the Appendix). The mixture was vortexed and poured onto the surface of 25 mL of minimal bottom agar. After the agar had solidified, the plates were inverted and incubated for 48 to 72 hours at 37"2°C. All platings were in triplicate. Revertant colonies on the plates were either counted immediately after incubation or the plates were stored at 4"2°C until they could be counted. Revertant colonies were usually counted by an automated colony counter; however, manual counting was used in the preliminary cytotoxicity assay, when toxicity was apparent or if a test article precipitate interfered with automatic counting. All plates for a given tester strain and activation condition were counted by the same method.
To be considered positive, the test material must cause a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants per plate over at least two increasing concentrations of test material in at least one tester strain. The increase in mean number of revertants must be at lease three times the solvent control value for strains TA1535 and TA1537 and at least two times the solvent control value for strains TA98, TA100 and WP2(uvrA).
Ten concentrations of Granola 97 ranging from 6.7 to 5000 µg/plate were tested, with and without S9-mix, in all five tester strains in a preliminary cytotoxicity assay. One plate per test point was used. A reduction in the number of revertants per plate and/or a thinning or absence of the background lawn of bacteria was the measure of cytotoxicity. The background lawn of all five tester strains was normal at all concentrations of Granola 97 studied, with or without S9-mix. Some reduced revertant counts, compared to the solvent controls, were seen but no systematic pattern was evident except for WP2(uvrA). The mean number of revertants per plate at 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg/plate in this strain was reduced, compared to the solvent control value of 21 both with and without S9-mix, to 8, 5, and 3, respectively, with S9-mix and to 7, 8 and 4, respectively, without S9-mix. No test material precipitation was observed. The limit concentration of 5000 µg/plate was selected as the highest concentration used in the mutagenicity assay.
Five concentrations of Granola 97 ranging from 75 to 5000 µg/plate were tested, with and without S9-mix in all five bacterial strains. An additional concentration of 25 µg/plate was used with strain WP2(uvrA). All plating was in triplicate. Granola 97 was not mutagenic to any of the five tester strains at any concentration tested, with or without S9-mix. Solvent and positive control values were appropriate for the respective strains. Results of the mutagenicity study are summarized in Appendix Table 1 (MRID 44487801, p. 30).
