- Remarks:
- The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 201 referenced as Method C.3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No440/2008. GLP compliance has been claimed through conduct of the study according to UK GLP Standards (Schedule 1, Good Laboratory Practice Regulations 1999 (SI 1999/3106 as amended by SI 2004/0994)). Analytical verification of nominal test material concentrations was not possible as no quantitative method was available. Dose verification was therefore conducted by Total Organic Carbon (TOC) analysis.

- ECx values were determined from the equation for the fitted line using the Xlfit software package (lOBS). 95% confidence limits for the EC50 values were calculated using the simplified method of evaluating dose-effect experiments of Litchfield and Wilcoxon (1949).
One way ANOVA Bartlett's test for homogeneity of variance (Sokal and Rohlf 1981) and Dunnett's multiple comparison procedure (Dunnett 1995) were used on the determination of growth rate, yield and biomass integral data.
The experimental data was analysed using SAS computer software package (SAS 1999-2001).

LOQ: limit of quantification
The carbon content of the test substance was determined in a separate study (2787/0012) to be equivalent to 3.29%, i.e. 3.29 mg C/100 mg substance. Based on this value, the data in Table 2 shows that nominal concentrations were reached and maintained, at least at the two highest concentrations (32 and 100 mg/L). TOC values at the lower concentrations were below the limit of quantification of the method.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- Control cultures: Cell concentration was increase by a factor of 97 after 72 h, mean coefficients of variation for section by section specific growth rate was 29%., coefficient of variation for average specific growth rate for 72 h was 3%
- Conclusions:
- The 72 h ErC50 and EbC50 for Desmodesmus subspicatus were found to be 55 mg/L and 8.4 mg/L, respectively. The test material could not be analysed quantitatively in the test medium but total organic carbon analysis indicated that nominal test concentrations were reached and maintained throughout the study, at least at the two highest concentrations. Total organic carbon concentrations at the lower doses were below the limit of quantification of the method.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the effect of inositol phosphates derived from rice bran on the growth of the green alga Desmodesmus subspicatus. The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2006) No 201, "Freshwater Algae and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test" referenced as Method C.3 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008.
Desmodesmus subspicatus was exposed to the test substance at nominal concentrations of 0, 1.0, 3.2, 10, 32 and 100 mg/L (three replicate flasks per concentration) for 72 h, under constant illumination and shaking at a temperature of 24 ± 1oC.
Samples of the algal populations were removed daily and cell concentrations determined for each control and treatment group, using a Coulter® Multisizer Particle Counter.
The 72 h ErC50 and EbC50 were found to be 55 (95% Confidence Limits,44-69) mg/L and 8.4 (95% Confidence Limits, 6.4-11) mg/L, respectively. The NOEC and LOEC for both growth rate and yield were 1.0 and 3.2 mg/L, respectively.
The test material could not be analysed quantitatively in the test medium but total organic carbon analysis indicated that nominal test concentrations were reached and maintained throughout the study, at least at the two highest concentrations. Total organic carbon concentrations at the lower doses were below the limit of quantification of the method.
