− The sludge was washed twice by adding mineral medium and centrifuging for 10 min at 2000 rpm and 20 °C and decanting off the supernatant.
− An aliquot of the wet sludge was dried in order to determine the wet weight / dry weight ratio of the sludge and to prepare a stock suspension (activated sludge) of 3 g dw/L.
− The calculated amount of sludge, needed to achieve 300 mL of this stock suspension, was dissolved in mineral medium and then filled up to a defined end volume. - Duration of test (contact time):

- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the ready biodegradability of Direct Yellow 86 in accordance with the Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Method C.4-D “Manometric Respirometry Test“(2008). This test method is in all essential parts identical with OECD Guideline 301 F (adopted July 1992).
A suspension of 100 mg/L Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) in a mineral medium was stirred in a closed flask and inoculated at a constant temperature (22 ± 1 °C) for up to 28 days under aerobic conditions in the dark. During this period, degradation was followed by continuous automated BOD determinations.
Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) showed:
1 % degradation after 7 days
2 % degradation after 14 days
2 % degradation after 21 days
3 % degradation after 28 days
Therefore, Bayscript Gelb BR (active ingredient) is considered to be “Not Readily Biodegradable“.
The endogenous activity of the inoculum was checked running parallel blanks with inoculum but without test item. A reference compound (sodium benzoate) was run in parallel to check the operation of the procedures. A toxicity control (test item and reference compound mixed, one replicate) was run in parallel, to ensure that the chosen concentration of the test item was not inhibitory to microorganisms. Because of the nature of biodegradation and of the mixed bacterial populations used as inoculum, determinations of test item and inoculum blank were carried out in triplicate and of reference compound in duplicate.
At the end of incubation, the pH was measured in the flasks.
The test item is an N-containing substance. Therefore, the concentration of nitrite and nitrate was determined at the start of the test. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was not determined after 28 days, because poor degradation of the test item was observed.
Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) showed 3 % degradation after 28 days. Therefore, Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) is considered to be “Not Readily Biodegradable“.
The reference compound sodium benzoate showed 91 % degradation after 14 days.

Experimental Procedure
Because of the nature of biodegradation and of the mixed bacterial populations used as inoculum, determinations of test item and inoculum blank were carried out in triplicate and of reference compound in duplicate.
The oxygen uptake was calculated from the readings taken at regular and frequent intervals, using the method given by the manufacturer of the equipment. At the end of incubation, the pH was measured in the flasks.
The test item is an N-containing substance. Therefore, the concentration of nitrite and nitrate was determined at the start of the test. The oxygen consumed by nitrification was not determined after 28 days, because poor degradation of the test item was observed.

Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) showed:
1 % degradation after 7 days
2 % degradation after 14 days

A reference compound (sodium benzoate) was run in parallel to check the operation of the procedures.

Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) showed 3 % degradation after 28 days. Therefore, Direct Yellow 86 (active ingredient) is considered to be “Not Readily Biodegradable“.
