- Details on test solutions:
- For the preparation of the test item solutions, the test item was stirred until a homogeneous consistency was obtained. Subsequently an appropriate amount of the test item was directly weighed onto teflon tape and given to test medium and stirred slightly for 48 hours, protected from light, for each individual loading rate. Afterwards the undissolved test item was allowed to sediment and/or float for a period of 24 hours. The test item solution used in the test vessel was withdrawn by suction from the middle of the preparation vessel (according to OECD SERIES ON TESTING AND ASSESSMENT No. 23). Transfer of undissolved test item was avoided. Each solution was applied to the respective test vessel.
- Test organisms (species):
- Desmodesmus subspicatus (previous name: Scenedesmus subspicatus)

- Strain: SAG 86.81. The alga used in this study were purchased from the Culture Collection of Algae (SAG), Albrecht-von-Haller-Institut, Nikolausberger Weg 18, 37073 Göttingen, Germany. The algae were grown semi-continuously under sterile conditions in the laboratory. Old medium was periodically replaced by fresh mineral solution in order to keep the algae in an exponential growth state.

EC50 biomass 0.365 mg/L
NOEC 0.0741 mg/L
LOEC 0.222 mg/L - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- The statistical evaluation for 3 days was performed for growth rate and yield using SAS® (2002–2008). A test for normality of the data was performed by calculating the Shapiro-Wilk statistic and the homogeneity of variance of the data was performed by using the Levene-test. The NOEC and LOEC were determined by using the Dunnett´s t-test for growth rate and Welch Bonferroni-Holms corrected for yield.
The EC50-value for growth rate and yield was calculated using Spearman-Kärber estimator (ANELLIS & WERKOWSKY, 1968). Due to statistical reasons the inhibition values of 31.3 and 100 mg/L were rounded and included in the calculation. EC10, 20 was not calculable. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Short-term toxicity of fast pyrolysis bio-oil (water accommodated fraction) to Desmodesmus subspicatus was tested in a 72 h growth inhibition study. Statistically significant adverse effects were observed at the two highest loading rates (31.3 and 100 mg/L), and the determined NOEC and ErC50 for the fresh water algae were 11.6 and 35.4 mg/L, respectively (analyzed concentrations). Therefore, the test material showed slight acute toxicity to D. subspicatus.
- Executive summary:
Short-term toxicity of fastpyrolysis bio-oil (water accommodated fraction) to an aquatic algae Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined in a GLP compliant growth inhibition study according to OECD Guideline no 201 (2011) "Alga, Growth Inhibition Test". All validity criteria of the guideline were fulfilled.
Initial concentration of 0.5 x 104 algal cells/mL in each test vessel were exposed in a static test system for 72 hours. After performing a range-finding test, the main test was performed with test item concentrations of 0.954, 3.05, 9.77, 31.3 and 100 mg/L loading rate. Six replicates were run for the control and three for each test item concentrations. In addition, four replicates were run in parallel for analytical determination.
After 24, 48 and 72 h, the cell dencity was determined by fluorescence detection and growth curves for each test concentration were produced. At the end of the test perioid, EC10, 20, 50 LOEC and NOEC values for growth and yield were evaluated. All test item concentrations were analyzed at 0 and 72 h to verify the actual test concentrations.
The EC50 values for growth rate were determined to be 93.3 mg/L loading rate (nominal) and 35.4 mg/L loading rate (actual). The EC50 values for yield were determined to be 59.2 mg/L loading rate (nominal) and 22.5 mg/L loading rate (actual) The actual concentrations were based on the geometric mean of each test item concentration.
The LOEC values for growth and yield were determined to be 31.3 mg/L loading rate (nominal) and 11.6 mg/L loading rate (actual) and the NOEC values were determined to be 100 mg/L loading rate (nominal) and 38.0 mg/L loading rate (actual). The actual concentrations were based on the geometric mean of each test item concentration.
The test material showed slight toxicity to D. subspicatus as the determined 72 h ErC50 value (growth) was between 10 and 100 mg/L.
The study is reliable without restriction.

Description of key information
Short-term toxicity of the test material (Fast Pyrolysis Bio-oil, WAF) to an aquatic algae Desmodesmus subspicatus was determined in a GLP compliant study according to OECD Guidelines for Testing Chemicals (2011) no 201 "Alga, Growth Inhibition Test". Statistically significant adverse effects were observed at the two highest loading rates (31.3 and 100 mg/L), and NOEC and ErC50 were determined at 11.6 and 35.4 mg/L, respectively (analyzed concentrations).
According to a OECD guideline study no. 201 (2006) published in literature, Fast-Pyrolysis Bio-oil from pine wood showed low / slight toxicity to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (ErC50 = 38 mg/l).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 35.4 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 11.6 mg/L
Additional information
Due to poor water solubility of the substance, the organisms were exposed to a Water Accommodated Fraction (WAF) of the test substance. This is a commonly accepted procedure for regulatory studies on poorly water soluble substances.
