- Guideline:
- other: Refer below principle
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Aim of this study was to determine the effect of test chemical on the growth of microorganism. WoE was prepared.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
- Vehicle:
- no
- Test organisms (species):
- other: Entosiphon sulcatum and Photobacterium phosphoreum
- Details on inoculum:
- WoE 2: To prepare feeding of the Entosiphon stock or preliminary cultures with bacteria, decant nutrient solution and suspend the bacterial centrifugate with a quantity of a 50% solution of stock solution I in sterile double-distilled water until the initial volume is reached again. Centrifuge and decant again this suspension as described above. Take up the centrifugate with a 50°/0 solution of stock solution I in sterile double-distilled water.
- Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Total exposure duration:
- 72 h
- Remarks on exposure duration:
- 30 min
- Test temperature:
- 15 - 25°C
- pH:
- WoE 2: 6.9
WoE 3: 5-9 - Details on test conditions:
- WoE 2: For maintenance of the test strain of Entosiphon sulcatum continuously inoculate the expected required number of stock cultures at 72 h or 96 h intervals. For this, mix 8 ml of stock solution I and 8 ml of sterile double-distilled water in 300-ml Erlenmeyer flasks stoppered with metal caps and add 2 ml of a stock culture and 2 ml of the adjusted bacterial suspension for Entosiphon stock cultures. Store stock cultures at 25°C. Before inoculation control the flasks containing the stock cultures by means of an inverse microscope. Pretreatment of the bacteria used for feeding preliminary cultures of Entosiphon sulcatum does not differ from that of bacteria used for feeding the stock cultures. Keep preliminary cultures at 25°C over 72 h before using them for inoculation of the test cultures. Before inoculation control each flask containing the preliminary cultures by means of an inverse microscope.

Various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the growth and other activity of microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:
In the first experimental study from peer reviewed journal toxicity to microorganism study for test material the biological effect was evaluated by using analogous methods of the cell multiplication inhibition test. For maintenance of the test strain of Entosiphon sulcatum continuously inoculate the expected required number of stock cultures at 72 h or 96 h intervals. For this, mix 8 ml of stock solution I and 8 ml of sterile double-distilled water in 300-ml Erlenmeyer flasks stoppered with metal caps and add 2 ml of a stock culture and 2 ml of the adjusted bacterial suspension for Entosiphon stock cultures. Store stock cultures at 25°C. Before inoculation control the flasks containing the stock cultures by means of an inverse microscope. Pretreatment of the bacteria used for feeding preliminary cultures of Entosiphon sulcatum does not differ from that of bacteria used for feeding the stock cultures. Keep preliminary cultures at 25°C over 72 h before using them for inoculation of the test cultures. Before inoculation control each flask containing the preliminary cultures by means of an inverse microscope. The toxicity threshold (TT) of test material was determined to be 236 mg/l for Entosiphon sulcatum. Therefore LOEC was considered to be 236 mg/l for 72h in Entosiphon sulcatum.
In the second study toxicity were measured. Photobacterium phosphoreum was test organism used to determine the toxicity of test material done by Microtox test method. The time period was 5 to 30 minute at 15 degree C and pH range from 5 to 9. After exposure, the 50% Effective concentration value for 1 test chemical to Photobacterium phosphoreum was determined to be 3.02 mg/l based on viability and sensitivity of bacteria. As the chemical were readily biodegradable thus degraded faster and consider to be nontoxic.
