- Executive summary:
The biodegradability potential has been investigated by BIOWIN estimation tool*, which calculates the probability that a chemical under aerobic conditions with mixed cultures of microorganisms will biodegrade rapidly or slowly.
The training set for BIOWIN 1, 2, 3 (ultimate degradation time frame) and 4 (primary degradation timeframe) was based on the overall conclusions of a panel of USEPA experts for rapid or slow environmental degradation and based on various types of degradation information on the training set substances. Nevertheless also the BIOWIN 1, 2 and 3 model has been tested (validated) in literature for its predictability concerning not ready and ready biodegradability.
In general the freely available BIOWIN models may be used when predicting the ready biodegradability of chemicals BIOWIN1, 2, 3, 5 and 6.
*Biowin v.4.10 is an application contained in the EpiSuite 4.1, the suite of physical/chemical property and environmental fate estimation programs developed by the EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention Toxics and Syracuse Research Corporation (SRC).
Conclusion
The substance is expected to be NOT ready biodegradable.

Additional information
Under standard test conditions in DyStarColours Distribution GmbH reports (1998) Malachite Green is indicated as not readily biodegradable (0.3 %, 14 days, OECD 301C); these values are confirmed by EpiSuite prediction. A possible inherent biodegradation is indicated in DyStarColours Distribution GmbH reports (1998) where a value of 82 % 9 of degradation in Zahn-Wellens test is reported, however any detail is missing about time and testing conditions.
