- OECD Guideline 202 (Daphnia sp. Acute Immobilisation Test)
- Version / remarks:
- adopted 13 April 2004
- Deviations:
- yes
- Remarks:
- the recovery of test item from the media was not possible due to the characteristic of test item, therefore the carbon content of soluble fractions was determined.
- GLP compliance:
- yes (incl. QA statement)
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- The organic carbon content of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, lysate in the test solutions was determined at the beginning and at the end of the renewal periods.
Samples were taken from the test solutions and the control solutions. The samples were filled into three different tubes for the triplicate measurements and they were measured by the NPOC method without any dilution, based on the method validation (Study code: 17/230-316AN). The measured carbon contents of the test solutions were corrected with the measured values of control samples. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Because the Test Item is a UVCB (Chemical Substances of Unknown or Variable Composition, Complex Reaction Products and Biological Materials), a test solution was prepared using a saturated solution method according to the Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, OECD No. 23.
In a preliminary formulation study, the optimal conditions for the preparation of the water accomodated fraction (WAF) were determined into the tes medium (ISO media). The highest carbon content was obtained after 0.5 hour of stirring of a WAF of 100 mg/L test item at 18-22°C. These conditions were applied for the preliminary range-finding study and the main test.
Four test concentrations in a geometric series (separation factor of 10) plus a control were used in the Preliminary range-finding test. The saturated Test Item solutions at 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100 mg/L nominal loading rates (WAFs) were prepared individually by dispersing/dissolving the needed amount of Test Item into the test medium (ISO medium) before the start of the experiment. These solutions were shaken for approximately 0.5h hour continuously at the test temperature (18-22°C). The non-dissolved test material was removed by filtration through a fine (0.22 μm) filter to give the 100% saturated solutions (conditions determined in the preliminary formulation study). The test formulations were prepared individually and distributed into test vessels prior to introduction of Daphnia. In order to reduce issues of biodegradation of the Test Item, all the glassware used to prepare the WAFs and test solutions were washed with chromosulfuruc acid before use. The prepared solutions were tested immediately after their preparation.
Since no toxiciy was observed in the preliminary study, therefore 100 mg/L test item nominal loading rate (WAF) and one control was used for the main test. In the Main study, the test formulations were prepared individually as described above and distributed into test vessels prior to introduction of Daphnia. - Test organisms (species):
- Daphnia magna
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Daphnids
- Strain/clone: Daphnia magna

The test item is an UVCB, with a very complex composition and there is no single chemical marker that can be readily analysed. Therefore a global analytical method, the non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) method was used to demonstrate that the daphnids were exposed to the maximum soluble concentration and that this concentration was stable during the test.
The concentration of the Test Item was measured in the test solution (also in the Control) at start and at the end of the renewal periods (from an additional vessel without the test organism which would affect the total carbon present in solution). - Details on test conditions:

The acute toxicity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysate to Daphnia magna was determined according to EU Method C.2 and OECD 202, and in compliance with GLP.
20 daphnids distributed in 4 vessels were exposed to the test item in a semi-static test during 48 hours. In a preliminary formulation study, the optimal conditions for the preparation of the Water Accomodated Fraction (WAF) were determined. The highest carbon content at 20°C was obtained after 0.5h hour of stirring of a 100 mg/L test item loading rate, followed by filtration through a fine (0.22 μm) filter to give the 100% saturated solutions (WAF). Since no toxicity was observed during the range-finding study, a limit test at the loading rate of 100 mg/L test item (WAF solution) was performed.
Since the test item is an UVCB, with a very complex composition and there is no single chemical marker that can be readily analysed, the non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) method was used to control the tested concentration. The concentration was measured at start and at the end of the renewal periods (from an additional vessel without the test organisms which would affect the total carbon present in solution). The mean measured concentration was 15.9 ± 0.6 mg carbon /L and was stable during the exposure periods.
No immobilisation was observed during the study at the loading rate of 100 mg/L test item (WAF solution). There was no immobilized animal in the control group and the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in control and test vessels was more than 3 mg/L. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits.
The 48h-EL50 to Daphnia magna of Saccharomyces cerevisaie lysate is superior to 100 mg/L (WAF solution) and the NOELR is equal to 100 mg/L (WAF solution), which corresponds to 15.9 mg/L carbon content.
This acute toxicity to Daphnia magna is classified as acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirements of EU Method C.2 and OECD 202.

Additional information
The acute toxicity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae lysate to Daphnia magna was determined according to EU Method C.2 and OECD 202, and in compliance with GLP.
20 daphnids distributed in 4 vessels were exposed to the test item in a semi-static test during 48 hours. In a preliminary formulation study, the optimal conditions for the preparation of the Water Accomodated Fraction (WAF) were determined. The highest carbon content at 20°C was obtained after 0.5h hour of stirring of a 100 mg/L test item loading rate, followed by filtration through a fine (0.22 μm) filter to give the 100% saturated solutions (WAF). Since no toxicity was observed during the range-finding study, a limit test at the loading rate of 100 mg/L test item (WAF solution) was performed.
Since the test item is an UVCB, with a very complex composition and there is no single chemical marker that can be readily analysed, the non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC) method was used to control the tested concentration. The concentration was measured at start and at the end of the renewal periods (from an additional vessel without the test organisms which would affect the total carbon present in solution). The mean measured concentration was 15.9 ± 0.6 mg carbon /L and was stable during the exposure periods.
No immobilisation was observed during the study at the loading rate of 100 mg/L test item (WAF solution). There was no immobilized animal in the control group and the dissolved oxygen concentration at the end of the test in control and test vessels was more than 3 mg/L. All validity criteria were within acceptable limits.
The 48h-EL50 to Daphnia magna of Saccharomyces cerevisaie lysate is superior to 100 mg/L (WAF solution) and the NOELR is equal to 100 mg/L (WAF solution), which corresponds to 15.9 mg/L carbon content.
