- 0.38 mL algal inoculum (measured 130 x 104 cells/mL in the stock culture) were added to a 100 mL test volume to result in an initial biomass of 5 x 103 cells/mL

The growth inhibition of Reaction mass of sodium (methylbutyl and pentyl) sulfonate and sodium 1,2-bis(pentyloxycarbonyl)ethanesulphonate [EC 941-224-7] to Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined in a 72 h static GLP algae growth inhibition test. The test design was based on the OECD 202 guideline. The nominal test concentrations were 0 (control), 197.5, 296.3, 444.4, 666.7, 1000.0 mg/L test item, corresponding to 0 (control), 196.7, 295.0, 442.5, 663.8, 995.7 mg/L active substance. Six control replicates and 3 replicates from each test solution were set up. Dose verification analysis was performed at 0 and 72 hours. Recoveries for fresh samples were in the range from 107 to 109% of nominal, recoveries for spent samples were in the range from 109 to 111%. Consequently, the test concentration was stable and the reported biological results are related to the nominal test item concentration. No test item was found in the control samples. 24, 48 and 72 hours after test start, the biomass (number of cells per millilitre) in all test vessels including control was determined by direct counting (actual microscopic cell count using a Neubauer counting chamber). All validity criteria for this type of study were met. The 72 -hour ErC10 and ErC50 are > 995.7 mg active substance/L based on the nominal concentration.
This study is considered to be relevant and acceptable for the risk assessment of the registered substance.
