- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
- Method: The test material could not be easily weighed to
prepare test solutions on a weight to volume basis. Therefore, based on whole product, test
substance amounts were corrected for the density of C-4000 and prepared on a calculated weight
to volume basis. The test substance was added by direct volume to appropriately-labeled contact
flasks and contact flasks were transferred to the constant temperature chamber. Test substance
volumes of 4.95, 15.8, 49.5, 158, and 495 µL were added to the 10, 32, 100, 320, and 1,000 mg
whole product/L test flasks, respectively. A nominal 1,000 mg whole product/L abiotic control
was also prepared.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- - Laboratory culture: The microbial inoculum used in the test was activated sludge collected August 27, 2008 from
Aeration Basin #1 at the Columbia Wastewater Treatment Plant in Columbia, Missouri.
Approximately 20 liters of activated sludge was collected.
- Preparation of inoculum for exposure: Twelve, 250 mL centrifuge bottles were filled with activated sludge and
concentrated by centrifugation at 3,000 rpm for approximately five minutes using IEC CR 6000 and Beckman Model J2-21 centrifuges. The supernatant was decanted, and the bottles were refilled with activated sludge and centrifuged three more times. After the final centrifugation, the supernatant was decanted, and the activated sludge was rinsed by adding ABC well water, shaking, and centrifuging as above. The supernatant was then decanted. The activated sludge pellet in each bottle was washed two more times in the same manner. The final supernatant was decanted, and a suspension of the sludge pellet was prepared by adding 200 mL of well water to each bottle. The microbial inoculum contained within the bottles were shaken then combined in a carboy, placed on a stir plate in an environmental chamber maintained at 20 ± 2 ºC, and aerated while stirring using compressed air. A synthetic sewage feed solution composed of peptone, beef extract, urea, NaCl, MgSO4·7H2O, CaCl2·2H2O, and K2HPO4 was used to sustain the inoculum overnight. The pH of the prepared activated sludge was 8.10.
Study design

- Remarks on exposure duration:
- Results from the range-finder indicated the respiration inhibition from the test substance was < 50% at the nominal loading rates; therefore a definitive test was not necessary.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- - Results with reference substance valid? yes; The percent inhibitions for the three reference substance flasks were 0, 9.4, and 65.3% at
3,5-dichlorophenol concentrations of 3.2, 10, and 32 mg/L, respectively. The estimated EC50 was 23.3 mg/L. This EC50 was within the 5 to 30 mg/L acceptability range as recommended by the OECD Guideline 209.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Since the percent inhibition at the highest concentration tested for C-4000 was less than 50%, the EC50 was reported as >1,000 mg whole product/L. The respiration rates of control flasks as well as the estimated EC50 values of the reference toxicant testing met the acceptability criteria outlined in OECD Guideline 209.
- Executive summary:
A test was conducted to determine the effects of C-4000 on microorganisms by measuring the respiration rate under defined conditions in the presence of varying concentrations of the test substance. The microbial inoculum was exposed to nominal concentrations of 0 (control), 10, 32, 100, 320, and 1,000 mg whole product/L.
The results of this test showed that the respiration rates of the two control flasks were within 15% of the mean respiration rate which satisfies the criteria for acceptability outlined in the test guideline concerning data from the control flasks.
The test substance showed 0, 0, 0, 18.1, and 0% inhibition at test concentrations of 10, 32, 100,
320, and 1,000 mg whole product/L. Under the conditions of the study, the estimated EC50 for
C-4000 was >1,000 mg whole product/L based on the nominal loading rate. Based on these
results, a definitive test was not required and therefore not conducted.
The three reference substance flasks exhibited percent inhibition values of 0.0, 9.4, and 65.3% at
3,5-dichlorophenol concentrations of 3.2, 10, and 32 mg/L, respectively. An EC50 value was
calculated to be 23.3 mg/L for 3,5-dichlorophenol, which was within the acceptable value range
of 5 – 30 mg/L for the reference substance.
