Three parallel samples were analysed from each test concentration and control at the start and at the end of the test. The samples were prepared immediately after sampling. - Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION
- Method: The test solutions used in the test were prepared by mechanical dispersion without using of any solubilising agent. The test solution was freshly prepared at the beginning of the experiment, in the testing laboratory.
A stock solution of 100 mg/L (nominal concentration) was prepared by dissolving 0.08 g of the test item in 800 mL OECD medium. The pH value (5.57) of this stock solution was adjusted to the pH value of the OECD medium (7.67). The adjusted pH level of the stock solution was 7.93. The further test solutions were prepared by appropriate dilution of this stock solution. The test solutions were prepared just before introduction of algae (start of the experiment).
- Controls: Yes. Untreated control ran parallel in the test. - Test organisms (species):
- Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Species: Raphidocelis subcapitata (formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella subcapita and Selenastrum capricornutum) (Printz-Starr).
- Strain: 61.81 SAG (identical strains: CCAP 278/4; UTEX 1648; ATCC 22662)
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): The algae were supplied by the SAG: Collection of Algal Cultures, Inst. Plant Physiology, University of Göttingen, Untere Karspüle 2, D-37073 Göttingen, Germany
- Breeding conditions: The stock cultures are small algal cultures that are planted on agar regularly. These are transferred to fresh medium at least once every two months under standardised conditions according to the test guidelines.
The pre-culture is intended to give an amount of algae suitable for the inoculation of test cultures. The pre-culture was prepared with OECD Medium, incubated under the conditions of the test and used when still exponentially growing, normally after an incubation period of about three days. (The pre-culture was incubated for four days at this test.)
ACCLIMATION
- Acclimation period: Four days - Test type:
- static
- Water media type:
- freshwater
- Limit test:
- no
- Total exposure duration:
- 72 h
- Test temperature:
- 22.8 – 23.4 °C (measured in the flask)
22.0 – 23.7 °C (measured within the climate chamber) - pH:
- 7.55 – 8.94
- Nominal and measured concentrations:
- Nominal: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and 100 mg/L
Measured: The measured concentration of the test item in the test solutions was in the range of 97 – 100 % at the start and 98 – 101 % at the end of the test. There is evidence that the concentration of the tested substance was maintained within ± 20 % of the nominal concentration throughout the test. Therefore the analysis of the biological results was based on the nominal concentration values. - Details on test conditions:
- TEST SYSTEM
- Test vessel: Erlenmeyer flasks of ~250 mL volume with 100 mL test medium.
- Initial cells density: 10^4 cells/mL
- Control end cells density:
- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 3
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 6
GROWTH MEDIUM
- Standard medium used: yes
TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Reconstituted algal growth medium (OECD medium, according to OECD 201) was used as dilution water in the experiment.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: Yes. The pH value (5.57) of this stock solution was adjusted to the pH value of the OECD medium (7.67). The adjusted pH level of the stock solution was 7.93.
- Photoperiod: Continuously illumination
- Light intensity and quality: The average light intensity measured at the position occupied by algal culture flasks during the test was 8012 lux, which was ensured with fluorescent lamps (with a spectral range of 400-700 nm). The differences in light intensity between the test vessels did not exceed ± 15 % and therefore provided equal conditions for each test vessel.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
- Determination of cell concentrations: The cell numbers were determined at 24, 48 and 72 hours after starting the test by manual cell counting using a microscope with counting chamber.
- Morphological Changes of Algal Cells: The morphological changes of algal cells compared to the control were examined at 24, 48 and 72 hours after starting the test using a microscope.
PRE-EXPERIMENTS:
In order to select appropriate test concentrations for use in the definitive test, two non-GLP preliminary range-finding tests were conducted to determine the approximate toxicity of the test item.
In the first preliminary test a stock solution of 100 mg/L (nominal concentration) was prepared by dissolving the test item in OECD medium. Untreated control ran parallel in the test.
Algal cells were exposed to the concentration of the test item plus control, for 72 hours. The test was performed with three replicates in treatment group and three replicates in the control. The test item itself caused a change to the pH of the test medium. The pH of the stock solution (100 mg/L) was acid (pH: 5.64) in the first preliminary test this could cause the strong inhibitory effect therefore the second preliminary test was divided into two parts.
For preparation of test solutions the first stock solution was prepared by dissolving an amount of 0.04 g test item in 400 mL OECD medium to obtain the 100 mg/L nominal concentration. The pH value of this stock solution was adjusted to the pH value of the OECD medium (7.52). The further test solutions were prepared by appropriate dilution of this stock solution. For preparation of test solutions the second stock solution was prepared by dissolving an amount of 0.04 g test item in 400 mL OECD medium to obtain the 100 mg/L nominal concentration. The pH value of this stock solution was not adjusted. The further test solutions were prepared by appropriate dilution of this stock solution. Algal cells were exposed to each concentration of the test item plus control, for 72 hours. The test was performed with two replicates in treatment groups and three replicates in the control. The control group was common for the pH adjusted and the other test solutions.
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Based on the results of the non-GLP Preliminary Range-Finding Tests five test concentrations in a geometric series (with a spacing factor of 2.0) were used in the main test. Untreated control ran parallel in the test. The following nominal concentrations were tested: 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0, 100 mg/L (loading rate). - Reference substance (positive control):

Description of key information
In this 72-h algal growth inhibition test with Raphidocelis subcapitata, the obtained results showed that the test item, 3-Tert Butyladipic Acid, had significant toxic effects on the growth of Raphidocelis subcapitata at the concentration of 100 mg/L. An EC10 and EC50 based on growth rate and yield of >100 mg/L was determined, respectively. The NOEC was 50 mg/L based on growth rate and yield.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 50 mg/L
Additional information
An Growth Inhibition Test according to OECD
201 was conducted to determine the effect of the test item, 3 -Tert
Butyladipic Acid on the growth of the unicellular green algae species
Raphidocelis subcapitata(formerly known as Pseudokirchneriella
subcapitata). Exponentially growing cultures of Raphidocelis subcapitata
were exposed to test item concentrations of 6.25, 12.5, 25.0, 50.0 and
100 mg/L. The algal growth in relation to the untreated control culture
was determined over a fixed test period of 72 hours and thus, over
several algal generations. An EC10 and EC50 based on growth rate and
yield of >100 mg/L (nominal) was determined, respectively. The NOEC was
50 mg/L (nominal) based on growth rate and yield. The measured
concentration of the test item in the test solutions was in the range of
97 – 100 % at the start and 98 – 101 % at the end of the test. There is
evidence that the concentration of the tested substance was maintained
within ± 20 % of the nominal concentration throughout the test.
Therefore the analysis of the biological results was based on the
nominal concentration values.
