Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
The 18-h EC10 in Pseudomonas putida is 710 mg/l.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
- 710 mg/L
Additional information
Two studies on the toxicity of MTBE to microorganisms have been reported. Both were performed with Pseudomonas putida but they differ in duration and in the method used. Neither of the studies included analytical verification of the concentration of MTBE in the test culture. Since one of these studies was a limit test (Hüls AG, 1991e), the EC10 value of 710 mg/l obtained by Hüls AG (1991d) (and based on inhibition of cell multiplication during an 18 h exposure period) will be used in the assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
