Details on inoculum:

Type of inoculum: aerobic mixed bacterical culture: Municipal wastewater treatment plant, Esztergom-Kertváros

Duration of test (contact time):

28 d

Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation

Parameter followed for biodegradation estimation:

O2 consumption

Details on study design:

Preparation of inoculum test culture:Before the test 300 ml stock culture was filtered through a filter with 0.2 mm pore size to remove the bigger insoluble particles and then the dry substance content of the filtrate was determined. The measured value was 6.52 g/L. For preparing the inoculum culture 168.3 ml mineral medium was added to 31.7 ml filtered stock culture. The calculated dry mass of inoculum culture was 1 g/L.Preparation of reference solution:For the reference solution 320.06 mg sodium acetate was diluted in 100 ml mineral medium.Preparation of test vessels:Following test vessels were prepared and analysed for the study:- Test item (in two replicates)- Blank control (in two replicates)- Reference solution (positive control)- Reference and test item solution (toxicity control)- Sterilized solution of test item (abiotic control)

Remarks on result:

other: mean of two replicates

Details on results:

The biodegradability of the test item on day 14th was 0%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:

yes

Interpretation of results:

not readily biodegradable

Conclusions:

According to OECD guideline the test item should be classified as readily biodegradable if the percentage biodegradation reaches 60% of theoretical oxygen demand within 28 day period in a 10-day window. Based on ready biodegradability testing results the Methyl-cyclopentanedione is not readily biodegradable.
