EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
- Determination of cell concentrations: At the beginning of the test, cells were counted using a microscope and a counting chamber. Thereafter cell densities were determined by spectrophotometric measurement of samples at 720 nm. Algal medium was used as blank and the extra replicates as background for the treated solutions. At the end of the test microscopic observations were performed on the 100 mg/L concentration to observe for any abnormal appearance of the algae.

- - Final test
Measured concentrations: actual concentrations were in agreement with nominal and remained stable during the test period (93-113%). Given this result the effect parameters were based on the nominal test concentrations.
Biological results: growth rate was in the range of the control at 10 mg/L during the 72-hour test period, whereas the growth rate of algae exposed to 22 mg/L and higher were increasingly reduced. Statistically significant reduction of growth rate was found at test concentrations of 22 mg/L and higher. Inhibition of yield increased with increasing concentration of Guanidine phosphate (1:1) from 10 mg/L upwards resulting in >90% inhibition at and above 100 mg/L. Statistically significant inhibition of yield was found at test concentrations of 22 mg/L and higher.
Microscopic observations at the end of the test revealed a normal and healthy appearance of the exposed cells when compared to the control.
Acceptability of the test:
1. In the control, cell density increased by an average factor of >16 within two days.
2. The mean coefficient of variation for section-by-section specific growth rates in the control cultures did not exceed 35%.
3. The coefficient of variation of average specific growth rates during the whole test period in replicate control cultures did not exceed 7%. - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Potassium dichromate: The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ErC50: 0-72h) was 1.1 mg/L (95% confidence interval: 0.71 to 1.6 mg/L)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study with Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Guanidine phosphate (1:1) reduced growth rate of this fresh water algae species significantly at 22 mg/L and higher. The EC50 for growth rate reduction (72h-ErC50) was 110 mg/L. The 72h-NOEC for growth rate reduction was 10 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
In a 72-h toxicity study conducted according to OECD guideline 201, microalgae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) were exposed to Guanidine phosphate (1:1) under static conditions at the following nominal concentrations (final test): 0 (blank control), 10, 22, 46, 100 and 220 mg/L. The test substance significantly reduced growth rate at 22 mg/L and higher. The 72-h EC50 for growth rate reduction was 110 mg/L (corresponding to 36 mg guanidine/L) and the 72h-NOEC for growth rate reduction was 10 mg/L (corresponding to 3.3 mg guanidine/L) based on analytically confirmed nominal concentrations. The study is considered to be reliable without restrictions.
