- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The water-accommodated fractions (WAF) of the concentrations to be tested were prepared. This was done by weighing the nominal load, adding the appropriate amount of algal medium (demineralised water enriched with minerals but without algae) and shaking for 24 hours. After membrane filtration (0.45 µm, PTFE-filter), the solutions were used to prepare the treatments.
- Eluate: no
- Differential loading: yes
- Controls: blank control; positive control
- Evidence of undissolved material (e.g. precipitate, surface film, etc.): After filtration, the test solutions were clear.

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
- Determination of cell concentrations: The cell concentration of each replicate was determined by measuring the cell numbers every 24 hours with an electronic particle counter. Growth rate µ and the yield were determined from the cell number at the respective observation times. Additionally, the treatments were examined microscopically at the end of the test in order to assess the appearance of the algae and detect abnormalities.
