- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Strain: 61.81 SAG (identical strains: CCAP 278/4; UTEX 1648; ATCC 22662)
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): The algae were supplied by the SAG: Collection of Algal Cultures, Inst. Plant Physiology, and University of Göttingen, GERMANY. Cultured under standardised conditions (see OECD 201) in the Ecotoxicological Laboratory of Citoxlab Hungary Ltd.
- Method of cultivation: Stock cultures are small algal colonies that are inoculated onto agar regularly. These are transferred to fresh agar medium at least once every two months and are maintained under standardised conditions according to the test guidelines.
The pre-culture is intended to give a quantity of algae suitable for the inoculation of test cultures. The pre-culture was prepared with the OECD algal growth medium, incubated under the same conditions as the test and used when still growing exponentially, normally after an incubation period of about three days. When the algal cultures contain deformed or abnormal cells, they were discarded.

TEST MEDIUM / WATER PARAMETERS
- Source/preparation of dilution water: Reconstituted algal growth medium (OECD medium, according to OECD 201) was used as dilution water for both the range finding and definitive tests.
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Adjustment of pH: NO
- Light intensity and quality: The algal culture flasks were continuously illuminated. The light intensity at the position occupied by algal culture flasks during the test was about 7594 lux (equivalent to ~103 μE/m2/s) , which was ensured with fluorescent lamps (with a spectral range of 400-700 nm). The differences in light intensity between the test vessels did not exceed ± 15 % and therefore provided equal conditions for each test vessel.
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The cell numbers were determined at 24, 48 and 72 hours after starting the test by manual cell counting using a microscopic method with a counting chamber. Microscopic observation of the algal cells in each concentration and in the control was performed (at 24h, 48h and 72h) to detect any abnormal appearance of the algae.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Spacing factor for test concentrations: 3.2

- Test concentrations: 0.99, 3.14, 9.90, 31.45 and 99.99 mg/L
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: A concentration range-finding test was conducted to determine the approximate toxicity of the test item so that appropriate test concentrations could be selected for use in the definitive test. Algal cells were exposed to each concentration of the test item plus a control, for 72 hours. The test was performed with two replicates per each test concentration and three replicates in the control group. - Reference substance (positive control):

These values are within the range of laboratory ring test data (see ISO Guideline No. 8692). - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- Statistical comparisons of biomass, average specific growth rates and yield in control and in treated groups were carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni t-Test (α = 0.05) by TOXSTAT software. The ErC50, EbC50 and EyC50 values of the test item and their confidence limits were calculated using Probit analysis by TOXSTAT software.

NOEC: (No Observed Effect Concentration) the highest test concentration at which no significant inhibition of growth is observed relative to the control
LOEC: (Lowest Observed Effect Concentration) the lowest test concentration at which a significant inhibition of growth is observed relative to the control
Calculation of Average Specific Growth Rate
Concentration-effect relationship was calculated by comparing growth rates in control, test cultures in the following way.
The average specific growth rate (μ) for individual cultures are calculated from the following relationship:
μ = (ln(Nn) - ln(N0)) / (tn - t0)
Where ln (Nn) = natural logarithm of measured cell density at time tn
ln (N0) = natural logarithm of measured cell density at time t0
t0 = time (hour) of the beginning of the test
tn = time (hour) of nthmeasurements after the beginning of the test
The percentage inhibition of growth rate (% Iµ):
%Iµ = ((µc - µt) / µc) .100%
Where % Iµ = percent inhibition in average specific growth rate
µc = mean growth rate of the control
µt = mean growth rate of test concentration
Calculation of Area Under the Growth Curve
A = [(N1 -N0 / 2).t1] + [((N1 +N2 -2N0)/2).(t2 -t1)] + [((Nn-1 + Nn -2N0)/2).(tn-tn-1)
Where N0 = nominalcell density at time t 0 (start of the test)
N1 = mean measuredcell density at t1 (24 hours)
N2 = mean measured cell density at t2 (48 hours)
Nn = mean measured cell density at tn
t1 = time of first measurement after start of the test
t2 = time of second measurement after start of the test
tn = time of nthmeasurement after start of the test
The percentageinhibition of area (% IA):
%IA = ((Ac-At) / (Ac) . 100%
Where % IA = percent inhibition in area under the growth curve
Ac = mean area of the control
At = mean area of test concentration
Calculation of Yield
Yield is calculated as the biomass at the end of the test minus the starting biomass for each single vessel of controls and treatments. For each test concentration and control, mean yield values were calculated.
Percentage inhibition in yield (% Iv):
Iy = ((Yc-Yi)/(Yc)).100%
Where: yc = mean value for yield in the control group
yi = mean value for yield for the test concentration
Area under the growth curve (biomass), average specific growth rate and yield were calculated for each test flask. Then the mean area under the growth curve, the growth rate and mean yield were determined as arithmetic mean value over all test flasks per treatment.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The effect of PHPM test item was assessed on algal growth using the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (formerly known as Selenastrum capricornutum), over an exposure period of 72 hours.
With respect to the inhibitory effect of the test item, the 0-72 h average specific growth rates and areas were significantly different from that of the control group at the examined concentration range of 9.8 – 100.0 mg/L (nominal), therefore the NOEC was determined as 3.1 mg/L (nominal) and LOEC was determined as 9.8 mg/L (nominal). The 0-72 h yield was significantly different from that of the control group at the examined concentration range of 3.1 – 100.0 mg/L (nominal), therefore the NOEC was determined as 1.0 mg/L (nominal) and LOEC was determined as 3.1 mg/L (nominal). The biological results are summarised in the following table:

LOEC 9.8 3.1 9.8 - Executive summary:
The effect of test item was assessed on algal growth using the unicellular green alga Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (Selenastrum capricornutum), over an exposure period of 72 hours.
As significant toxic response was observed at the two highest examined concentration levels during the preliminary range-finding test, five test concentrations in a geometric series (factor 3.2) and one controlwere tested in the main experiment.
The nominal concentrations of test item used in the main experimentwere: 1.0, 3.1, 9.8, 31.3 and 100.0 mg/L.
Test concentrations were analytically determined at the start and at the end of the experiment. The corresponding measured geometric mean test item concentrations were: 0.99, 3.14, 9.90, 31.45 and 99.99 mg/L.
As the analytically measured concentrations deviated not more than 20 per cent from the nominal, the biological results are based on the nominal test item concentrations.
The test design included three replicates at each test concentration and six replicates for the untreated controls.
Statistical comparisons of biomass, average specific growth rates and yield in control and in treated groups were carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni t-Test (a= 0.05) by TOXSTAT software.
The ErC50, EbC50 and EyC50 values of the test item and their confidence limits were calculated using Probit analysis by TOXSTAT software.
With respect to the inhibitory effect of the test item, the 0-72 h average specific growth rates and areas were significantly different from that of the control group at the examined concentration range of 9.8 – 100.0 mg/L (nominal), therefore the NOEC was determined as 3.1 mg/L (nominal) and LOEC was determined as 9.8 mg/L (nominal). The 0-72 h yield was significantly different from that of the control group at the examined concentration range of 3.1 – 100.0 mg/L (nominal), therefore the NOEC was determined as 1.0 mg/L (nominal) and LOEC was determined as 3.1 mg/L (nominal).
