Executive summary:

Data available for the test chemicals has been reviewed to determine its effect on microoranism.The studies are as mentioned below:

In the first study toxicity of test material was evaluated for microorganisms by disc diffusion method and the minimum inhibition concentration was evaluated using broth dilution method. The organisms used for the test were S. aureus, B. cereus , E. coli , P. aeruginosa. The turbidity of microorganisms was adjusted to 0.5 McFarland. The inoculum were 1×1081×106CFU/ml for bacteria and fungi respectively. Inoculate was swabbed on Muller Hinton Agar. Sterile blank discs impregnated with 3, 5, 10 μl of oil in 10 μl of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used and put on cultured plates. Disc containing DMSO and antibiotics were used as control. The minimum inhibition concentration of test material on bacteria S. aureus, B. cereus , E. coli , P. aeruginosa was observed to be > 8 mg/l.

Above study was supported by the second from secondary source. Toxicity of test material was evaluated for microorganisms by disc diffusion method and the minimum inhibition concentration was evaluated using broth dilution method. The organisms used for the test were S. aureus, B. cereus , E. coli , P. aeruginosa. The turbidity of microorganisms was adjusted to 0.5 McFarland. The inoculum were 1×1081×106CFU/ml for bacteria and fungi respectively. Inoculate was swabbed on Muller Hinton Agar. Sterile blank discs impregnated with 3, 5, 10 μl of oil in 10 μl of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) were used and put on cultured plates. Disc containing DMSO and antibiotics were used as control. The minimum inhibition concentration of test material on bacteria S. aureus, B. cereus , E. coli , P. aeruginosa was observed to be 1 mg/l.

The test chemical is likely to be toxic to microorganism  atleast in the concentartion range of 1 to 8 mg/l.
