- activated sludge (adaptation not specified)
- Details on inoculum:
- Sludge sampling is made, in principle, at not less than 10 places throughout the country, chiefly in those areas where a variety of chemical substances may be considered to be consumed and discarded.
The sludge samples collected from the sampling sites are mixed with the same volume by stirring in a single container, and the mixture is allowed to stand. Floating foreign matter is removed and the supernatant is filtered through No. 2 filter paper. The filtrate is adjusted to pH 7.0 +/- 1.0 with sodium hydroxide or phosphoric acid, transferred into a culture tank and aerated for 23.5h. About 30 minutes after ceasing the aeration of the solution obatined above approximately 1/3 of the whole volume of the supernatant is removed. An equal volume of 0.1 percent synthetic sewage (1 g of glucose, 1 g of peptones and 1 g of monopotassium phosphate are dissolved in 1 litre of water and the solution is adjusted to pH 7.0 +/- 1.0 with sodium hydroxide) is added to the remaining portion of the supernatant, and the mixture is aerated again. This procedure is repeated once every day. The culturing is carried out at 25 +/- 1.0 oC for one month. - Duration of test (contact time):

Bottle 5: basal culture medium, 1000 ml + activated sludge, 100 mg (dry basis) + sodium lauryl sulfate, 100 mg
Bottle 6: basal culture medium, 1000 ml + activated sludge, 100 mg (dry basis)
Test validity:
Difference between parallel groups should be less than 20 %.
Degradation of the reference substance should exceed 40 % after 7 days and 65 % after 14 days. - Reference substance:
