- Method: The definitive test concentrations were prepared by measuring 10, 20, 40, 80 and 160 ml of stock solution. The stock solution was prepared by weighing 0.0500 g of homogenised test substance and added to 1000 ml nutrient growth medium. The test concentrations (expressed as loading rates) were 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/l and the stock solution was 50mg/l (±5% tolerance by weight). These were stirred for 22 hours and 50 minutes and settled for 5 hours and 20 minutes. After settling the first 100 ml (approximately) of aqueous phase was removed (avoiding all settled and floating material) and discarded after filtering through a Whatman 54 filter. The remaining aqueous phase was filtered to provide sufficient volumes for water quality measurements and testing.

The 0 to 72-hour NOEC(r) was 1 mg/l and the 0-72 hour LOEC was 2 mg/l - Executive summary:
The effect of the test item Chinomethionate to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was investigated in an alga growth inhibition study to determine the 72-hour EC50.
Results of the preliminary (range-finding) test dictated the conditions of the definitive test, where test item concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 8.0 mg/L were studied in triplicate, along with 6 control samples. The stocks of algal culture were maintained, and the tests performed, in nutrient growth medium (OECD 201) which was prepared by adding appropriate amounts of nutirent stocks to deionised water at pH 8.13. Cell densities were measured microscopically by direct cell counts on each test and control replicate, in sextuplicate at 24 hours for the control and triplicate thereafter, and in triplicate at 24, 48 and 72 hours (±2h) for the test concentrations.
The 48 hour EC(r)50 and EC(y)50 of Chinomethionate to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were 5.26 mg/l and 2.54 mg/l respectively. The 72 hour EC(r)50 and EC(y)50 of Chinomethionate to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata were 6.18 mg/l and 2.01 mg/l respectively. The 0 to 72-hour NOEC(r) was 1 mg/l and the 0-72 hour LOEC was 2 mg/l.
