Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
other distribution data
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Only the removal of the substance from water is measured, no indication of possible metabolisation/degradation impact is provided. Single bacteria is used, therefore the result can not be extrapolated to the distribution in the environment.

Title:
BIOACCUMULATION OF P-METHOXYPHENOL AND 4-ISOPROPYLPHENOL ON ACINETOBACTER CALCOACETICUS ANITRATUS

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The bioaccumulation of the test substance by sub-surface bacterial biomass was performed by single-solute bioaccumulation isotherm in static
bottle test procedure.
The bioaccumulation was determined by the ratio between the concentration in the filtrate at each sampling time and the initial concentration of the test substance.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
other: bioaccumulation by sub-surface bacterial biomass
Media:
other: water - bacterial biomass
