Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
EC50 (30 min) = 182 ± 5 mg/l.
Executive summary:

The inhibition of bioluminescence of Vibrio fischeri bacteria was assessed according to the UNE-EN-ISO 11348-3. The lyophilized V. fischeri were exposed to several dilutions for each of the chemical were prepared using a 2 % NaCl stock solution. The different concentrations ranges assessed for this bioassay were 0–900 mg/l.

The solution equilibrated for 10 min at 15 °C, and subsequently, the first measurements were taken to obtain the initial luminescence; then 0.5 ml of each dilution to be tested was added to the cuvette. The inhibition of luminescence was measured after 30 min.

EC50 (30 min) = 182 ± 5 mg/l.
