- Mean cell density of control @ 0 h: 1.1 x 10^5 cells/mL
Mean cell density of control @ 72 h: 2.0 x 10^6 cells/mL
The initial cell count for the cultures at 0 hours is higher than that recommended under OECD guidelines. However, we consider that the higher initial cell density is justified in order to improve the reliability of haemocytometer and spectrophotometer measurements, as a slight error in cell densities at 0 hours can lead to a large error in the "growth factor" estimate and subsequently to misleading conclusions on growth. It is our opinion that satisfactory growth was achieved in this study as indicated by an increase in mean control cell density from 1.1 x 10^5 cells/mL cells/ml to 2.0 x 10^5 cells/mL in 72 hours.
Observations: All test and control cultures were inspected at 72 hours. At the two highest test concentrations of 500 mg/L and 1000 mg/L, the cells were observed to be clumped at 24, 48 and 72 hours. At 72 hours in the highest test concentration (1000 mg/L) cells were also observed to be small. A stimulatory effect on algal growth rate was observed in the two lowest exposure levels (62.5 mg/L and 125 mg/L). Also at 72 hours those cells in the 62.5 mg/L exposure level were observed to be considerably larger than those in the control. - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- In order to estimate the concentration at which 50% inhibition of growth occurs, a logistic model was fitted to the percentage inhibition values based on the 'area under the curve' (AUC) at 72 hours and on the growth rate between 24 and 72 hours. In order to assess the adequacy of these models, the variance due to 'lack of fit' was compared with the within-group variance. F-tests were applied, with 1 and 10 degrees of freedom. The 50% points were estimated by interpolation of the fitted curves and 95% confidence limits were produced by reference to Student's t distribution, using a pooled estimate of the error variance about the model. A 'no observed effect level' was obtained using Williams' test to compare the percentage inhibition in each treated group with the baseline (control) values. Bartlett's test with a 1% significance level was used to test for homogeneity of variance and this was not significant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- In the current testing conditions, exposure of Scenedesmus suhspicatus to peroxidase for 72 hours in concentrations up to 1000 mg/L (276 mg/L active enzyme protein) produced the following EC50 and NOEC values:
EbC50 (72 h): 320 mg/L (95 % confidence limits 290 - 360 mg/L)
ErC50 (24 - 72 h): 640 mg/L (95 % confidence limits 560 - 730 mg/L)
"No observed effect level" for 72 hour AUC: 125 mg/L
"No observed effect level" for the 24 - 72 hour growth rate: 500 mg/L - Executive summary:
Scenedesmus suhspicatus was exposed to peroxidase for a period of 72 hours. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline No. 201 and EEC Directive 67 /549 Annex VIII, Part C (87 /302/EEC). Five algeal cultures with an initial cell density of 1.1 x 10^5 cells/mL were exposed to peroxidase in concentrations 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000 mg/L and 17.3, 34.5, 69, 138, 276 mg/L active enzyme protein.There were 5 concentrations plus 1 control in each triplicate. The cultures were incubated for 72 hours under continuous illumination.
The cell densities of the control and test cultures were determined at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours by direct counting with the aid of a haemacytometer.
The growth inhibition test showed the following values:
EbC50 (72 h): 320 mg/L (95 % confidence limits 290 - 360 mg/L); 88.3 mg/L active enzyme protein
ErC50 (24 - 72 h): 640 mg/L (95 % confidence limits 560 - 730 mg/L); 176.6 mg/L active enzyme protein
"No observed effect level" for 72 hour AUC: 125 mg/L; 35.5 mg/L active enzyme protein
"No observed effect level" for the 24-72 hour growth rate: 500 mg/L; 138 mg/L active enzyme protein
