Description of key information
Biodegradation: readily biodegradable (68% after 28 days)
Additional information
Biodegradation
A reliable key study was available on microbial degradation of Phytosphingosine. The study was performed for 28 days according to OECD 301C, Ready Biodegradability-MITI (I) (adopted 1992) and in compliance with GLP. The percentage biodegradations of the test substance, Phytosphingosine, observed by BOD measurement were calculated in the range of 66.0 - 69.1 % and the average percentage biodegradation was 68.0 % after 28 days. Results indicate that the test substance is ready biodegradable in aqueous condition (>60% according to the guideline). The percentage biodegradation based on the residual amount of test substance by HPLC analysis was calculated to be 97.0 %. The study fulfilled the validity criteria of the guideline and was considered reliable and adequate for the environmental hazard assessment.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
