Sample received: 26 September 2011 - Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- The test concentrations of SIBE 138 were measured using gas chromatography with Mass Spectrometric detection (GC-MS). At the start of the definitive test, two samples (20 mL) were taken from the freshly-prepared control and test media. After 72 hours, the contents of the replicate flasks for each group were pooled and further samples taken for analysis. Samples were added to vials containing hexane (10 mL) to facilitate the extraction process.
Additional samples were also taken from the flask containing SIBE 138 at 0.100 and 100 mg/L but with no algal cells, in order to obtain information on the extent of adsorption/absorption of the test substance by the algal cells.
On each occasion, one of the samples was analysed and the other was stored in a freezer in case further analysis was required. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The method of preparation used during the definitive test was based on the results of a range finding test and a formulation trial.
At 0.32 to 100 mg/L, the test media were individually prepared: an aliquot of the test substance was dispersed in sterile OECD medium in a volumetric flask or glass aspirator [nominally 207, 66, 20.7 or 6.6 μL in 2L; 5.2 μL in 5L and 3.3 μL in 10 L and corrected for specific gravity (0.965)]. Each preparation was stirred overnight in the dark and then left to stand for approximately 23 hours in the dark before an aliquot (1 L; WAF) was removed midvessel and used directly to provide Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) with nominal loading rate of 100, 32.0, 10.0, 3.20, 1.00 or 0.320 mg/L.
At 0.1 mg/L, the volume of test substance required was too small to be accurately dispensed, so an aliquot (313 mL) of the WAF with a nominal loading rate of 0.320 mg/L was diluted with sterile OECD medium (1 L) to provide the test medium at 0.1 mg/L.
An aliquot (4.0 mL) of the secondary algal inoculum was added to a portion (500 mL) of the test medium at each concentration, to give an initial mean cell density of ca. 1x10^4 cells/mL. An aliquot (100 mL) of the appropriate inoculated test medium was added to each of the test vessels. - Test organisms (species):
- Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- Axenic, uni-cellular, liquid slope cultures of algae were obtained.
The liquid slope cultures were stored in an illuminated refrigerator. Sterile algal nutrient medium was inoculated with cells aseptically removed from the slope culture; these primary liquid cultures (100 mL) were incubated for approximately three days in an orbital incubator under continuous illumination at nominal temperatures in the range 21 to 25°C to provide an inoculum in the log phase of growth, characterised by a cell density of 1.25 x 10^6 cells/mL. - Test type:

- Range finding study
The three range finding tests employed WAFs prepared at nominal loading rates from 1 to 100 mg/L. Although cell growth was variable between tests, overall the results indicated that algal growth was inhibited above 1 mg/L. The variability in algal growth due to the test substance being an UVCB and its low solubility, which made it difficult to formulate the test substance in aqueous media. However, the use of WAFs is the recommended way to formulate test substances with these properties (multi-component; UVCB).
Based on these results, the definitive test employed WAFs prepared at nominal loading rates of 0.100, 0.320, 1.00, 3.20, 10.0, 32.0 and 100 mg/L. - Key result

- Details on results:

- Conclusions:
- The effect of SIBE 138 on the growth of the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was assessed over a 72 hour period.
Based on nominal loading rates, the 72-hour EC50 for growth rate and yield was >100 mg/L (as only 16% inhibition occurred at the highest test level) and 17.0 mg/L, respectively. The ‘no-observed effect loading rate’ for growth rate and yield was 1.00 mg/L and the lowest observed effect loading rate was 3.20 mg/L.
Based on mean measured concentrations of SIBE 138, the 72-hour EC50 for growth rate and yield was >3.81 mg/L and 2.26 mg/L, respectively. The ‘no-observed effect concentration’ for growth rate and yield was 0.760 mg/L and the lowest observed effect concentration was 1.96 mg/L.
Reference
Validity criteria:
For the test to be valid, the following criteria must be met:
- Cell concentration in control cultures should have increased by a factor of at least 16 within 72 hours. This corresponds to a specific growth rate of 0.92 day-1;
- The mean coefficient of variation for daily growth rates (Days 0-1, 1-2 and 2-3) in the control cultures must not exceed 35%;
- The coefficient of variation of the average specific growth rate in replicate control cultures must not exceed 7%.
