Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Identification of Strain MA3
An isolate was obtained in pure culture by streaking the enrichment culture on agar plates containing mineral salts and dodecyldimethylamine.
Oxidative cleavage of C alkyl-N bond
Cells grown on dodecyldimethylamine readily oxidized dodecyldimethylamine to dimethylamine, dodecanal and dodecanoic acid.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
The study used as source investigated the microbial metabolism of C12-DMA in a scientific research study. The study results of the source substance were considered applicable to the target substance. Justification and applicability of the read-across approach (category approach) is outlined in the read-across report in the linked category of dimethylalkylamines.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
