Pre-culture
Two to four days before the test, sterile OECD nutrient medium (OECD, 2006) was inoculated about 5.0 x 103 cells/mL cells/mL from a stock culture and incubated in a shaking incubator under continuous illumination (shaking rate: about 100 times/min, and light intensi ty: 60-120 µE/m2/s) at 21-24 °C to give an algal suspension in log phase growth. - Test type:

Inoculation
The test was started (0 hour) by inoculating 5.1 x 103 cells/mL in 250 mL conical flasks each containing 100 mL of test solution under sterile conditions. These cells were taken from an exponentially growing pre-culture under the same conditions as for the test.
Culture conditions
The inoculated flasks were then placed in a shaking incubator (DAIHAN Scientific, Korea). The cultures were incubated, without media renewal, for 72 hours under continuous illumination.

UTEX 1648) were determined as 77.9 mg/L (66.2-92.8 rng/L) for average growth rate, and 32.0 mg/L (21.3-48.6 mg/L) for yield, respectively.
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the inhibition effect of phosphoric acid (CAS No. 7664 -38 -2) on the growth of the unicellular green alga, Pseudokircheriella subcapitata (Strain No. UTEX 1648).
The study was conducted in accordance with the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No. 201 Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, GrowthInhibition Test (Adopted: March 23, 2006) .
The Toxicity rest was performed with control and nominal concentrations of 6.3, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg/L each in triplicates, with mean measured concentrations of 7.5, 14.5, 29.8, 56.7 and 109.6 mg/L, respectively. Cultures were incubated on a shaking incubator under continuous illumination at 24.0 +/- 0.2 oC for 72 hours. Growth was monitored daily by determining the cell density of each culture by direct counts using a BECKMAN COULTERTM Multisizer 3 particle analyzer.
The following values, expressed in terms of the mean measured concentrations, were obtained from the test.

All results were expressed in terms of the mean measured concentration (geometric mean). At 0 -hour (the start of the test), the mean measured concentrations were 7.5, 14.6, 29.9, 57.4 and 110.6 mg/L (110.6 -119.6% of the nominal concentration). The mean concentrations measured at 72 -hour (the end of the test) were 7.6, 14.5, 29.8, 56.0 and 108.7 mg/L (108.7 -120.6 % of the nominal concentration).
- Endpoint:
- toxicity to aquatic algae and cyanobacteria
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar properties because of structural similarity and that the target chemical (Amorphous condensation products of orthophosphoric acid and sodium carbonate (3-6 : 1)) hydrolyse to orthophosphoric acid and the sodium dihydrogen phosphate. The sodium dihydrogen phosphate has no identified hazardous properties. The orthophosphoric acid is source substance and is identical to the hydrolysis product of constituent A (metaphosphoric acid) of the target substance.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test)
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
