Details on test solutions:
Sludge concentration in the test: 1.5 g/L Dw
Test concentrations: 1000, 500, 250, 125, 62.5 mg/L as nominal concentration based on test substance

Preparation of the test
The test substance was added in the required amounts according to the test concentrations directly to the test vessels with 234 mL deionized water. Aliquots of the reference substance stock solution were dosed to the test vessels and made up with deionized water to a volume of 234 mL. 16 mL synthetic medium were dosed to each test vessel with test substance and reference substance afterwards. To prepare the blank control assays 234 mL of deionized water and 16 mL synthetic medium were mixed. The pH-values in all test vessels were checked and adjusted.
After addition of 250 mL of inoculum suspension (3 g/L DW) the incubation was started by aeration of the test vessels with pressured air. The vessels for the blank control assays were prepared to the same procedure without addition of test- or reference substance. After 3 hours incubation at 20 ± 2°C the mixtures in the test vessels were placed subsequently for oxygen measuring. The temperature was measured for seven times in a separate vessel filled with aerated deionized water during incubation phase. The content of oxygen at the start of the measurements was > 7 mg/L. The total oxygen consumption of was measured in the sequence BC1-3 and RS1, RS2-5, RS6 and TS1-3, TS4-7, TS8-11 and TS12-15. The oxygen consumption of the blank control BC4-6 were measured at last. No abiotic control was tested. The oxygen uptake was measured for a period of about 8 to 10 minutes.
