Various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the growth and other activity of microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:
Toxicity study from handbook, micro-organism study was carried out for assessing the effect of the test chemical. Study was performed using Photobacterium phosphoreum, strain NRRL-B-11177 (also referred to as Vibrio fischerii, strain NRRL-B-11177) as a test organism at a temperature of 15°C and pH range 5 to 9. Recommended reference substance that can be used for the study were Phenol and Sodium pentachlorophenate, respectively. When the test bacterium was exposed to the test chemical, reduction in light output was observed. Thus, based on this effect, the EC50 value during 5, 15 and 30 min exposure period was determined to be 3.273, 3.859 and 4.52 mg/l, respectively.
Above study was supported by the third study from peer reviewed journal. Toxicity to micro-organisms study was conducted onTetrahymena thermophilafor 28 hrs. Protoxkit bioassay test was performed for the toxicity study. All stock solutions were prepared in methanol and serially diluted in distilled water to obtain the target concentrations. The methanol concentration in the exposure solutions, including controls, was 0.01% (v/v) in distillate water in the tested solutions. Potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was used as control substance. The test organism was exposed to the test substance with exposure duration 28 hrs. Inhibition in bacterial growth was measured after 24 and 28 hrs of exposure to tested solutions. Based on growth rate inhibition of test organism Tetrahymena thermophila, the EC50 value after 24 and 28 hrs exposure duration was observed to be 4.3 and 5.7 mg/l, respectively and LOEC value ewas determine to be 0.48 mg/l.
Similar toxicity to micro-organisms study was conducted on Photobacterium leiognathi SB strain for 30 mins. Toxscreen bioassay test was performed for the toxicity study. All stock solutions were prepared in methanol and serially diluted in distilled water to obtain the target concentrations. The methanol concentration in the exposure solutions, including controls, was 0.01% (v/v) in distillate water in the tested solutions. 2-4-dichlorophenol (DCP) was used as control solution. The test bacteria was exposed to the test substance with exposure duration of 15 and 30 mins. Bacterial luminescence inhibition was measured after 15 and 30 mins of exposure to tested solutions. Based on decrease in bacterial light production by the test organism Photobacterium leiognathi SB strain, the EC50 value after 15 and 30 exposure duration with the test chemical, EC50 was observed to be 1.3 and 1.6 mg/l, respectively and LOEC value was observed to be 0.25 mg/l.
Thus based on the above all studies, chemical toxicity were ranges from 1.3 mg/l to 16.819 mg/l.
