- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Definitions to explain the test parameters chosen:
Yield (according to OECD Guideline 201) is defined as the biomass at the end of the exposure period minus the biomass at the start of the exposure period.
Growth and growth inhibition are quantified from measurements of the algal biomass as a function of time. Algal biomass is defined as the dry weight per volume, e.g. mg algae/L test solution. However, dry weight is difficult to measure and therefore surrogate parameters are used. Of these surrogates, cell counts are most often used. - GLP compliance:

Origin and Culture
The culture of Desmodesmus subspicatus was obtained from MBM Sciencebridge GmbH (Institut für Pflanzenphysiologie of Universität Göttingen). The algae are kept as stock culture on solid agar at 2 – 8 °C. From the stock culture, a permanent culture was prepared. From an aliquot of the permanent culture, the pre-culture was prepared.
Pre-culture
3 or 4 days before the start of each experiment, an aliquot of the permanent culture is brought into nutrient medium. The mixture is incubated for 72 - 96 hours at 21.0 –24.0 °C and 4440 - 8880 Lux. The resulting pre-culture is growing exponentially.
Before usage, the culture will be checked for the absence of cell aggregates.

- This study is performed in order to evaluate the toxicity of the test item towards Desmodesmus subspicatus. This freshwater green alga is chosen as a typical species of phytoplankton.
The system response is the reduction of growth in a series of algal cultures (test units) exposed to the test item. The response is evaluated as a function of the exposure concentration in comparison with the average growth of replicate, unexposed blank control cultures. For full expression of the system response to toxic effects (optimal sensitivity), the cultures are allowed unrestricted exponential growth under nutrient sufficient conditions and continuous light for a sufficient period of time to measure reduction of the specific growth rate.
A positive control was tested in a separate study to assure that the test conditions are reli-able. - Reference substance (positive control):
- yes
- Remarks:
- Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7, CAS No. 7778-50-9)

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The preliminary reults reported are
Endpoint NOEC LOEC EC10 EC50
Growth Rate 32.80 mg/L 105.50 mg/L 205.94 mg/L 573.79 mg/L
Yield 32.80 mg/L 105.50 mg/L 94.61 mg/L 224.30 mg/L
The results of NOEC and LOEC are not valid because they are derived form inappropriate concentration data and are in contrast to the conclusions drawn by the Laboratory in regard to biological variability e.g. in the summary. - Executive summary:
The study was performed using 6 concentrations ranging from 3.2 to 1000 mg/L. Incubation time (test system Desmodesmus subspicatus) was 72 hours. 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.
Significant inhibition of algae were observed in the incubations at 320 and 1000 mg/L for both growth rate and yield. The EC10 were calculated to be 95 mg/L for yield and 206 mg/L for growth rate.
In the highest concentrations a clear dose-response relationship was observed. The slightly increased inhibition of yield in the lowest concentrations is due to biological variability and is negligible.
