- Range finding test
The range-finding test was initiated on November 23, 2017. The test consisted of four nominal concentrations of the test item including 0.15, 1.5, 15 and 150 mg/L plus a negative control (i.e., nutrient media with no added test item prepared the day of test initiation). For this test, two replicate 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, each containing 49 mL of the test solution (prepared in nutrient medium) and 1 mL of algal inoculum (5 x 10^3 to 1 x 10^4 algal cells/mL), were established for each concentration. Each control replicate flask contained 49 mL of the same batch of algal nutrient medium and 1 mL of the same algal inoculum, without the addition of the test item. The environmental conditions and testing procedures were the same for all flasks.
Definitive Test
The definitive test was initiated on December 7, 2017. The test consisted of eight nominal concentrations of the test item including 0.78125, 1.5625, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, and 100 mg/L plus a negative control. For this test, four replicate 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks, each containing 49 mL of the test solution (prepared in nutrient medium) and 1 mL of algal inoculum (5 x 10^3 to 1 x 10^4 algal cells/mL), were established for each concentration. Each control replicate flask contained 49 mL of the same batch of algal nutrient medium and 1 mL of the same algal inoculum, without the addition of the test item. The environmental conditions and testing procedures were the same for all flasks.
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- Individual test solutions of the test item for both range-finding and definitive tests were prepared from stock solutions (1000 mg/L nominal concentration; corrected for purity) prepared in algal nutrient media without the use of any solubilizing agent. All stock solutions were prepared in 500 mL glass volumetric flasks, stirred for approximately 24 hours using a stir bar and stir plate. The stock solutions were then used to prepare the test concentrations. The 1000 mg/L stock solution used for the range-finding test was prepared by adding 0.56909 g of the test item to 500 mL of algal nutrient media in a 500 mL glass volumetric and stirred for 24 h and settled for 1 h. The individual test solutions were prepared by adding the appropriate amount of stock solution with algal nutrient media to achieve a 400 mL volume of the desired test concentration. The 1000 mg/L stock solution used for the definitive test was prepared by adding 0.56914 g of the test item to 500 mL of algal nutrient media in a 500 mL glass volumetric and stirred for 24 h and allowed to settle for 1 h. The individual test solutions were prepared as above for the range-finding test. All test solutions were stirred for 30 minutes using a stir bar and stir plate prior to being dispensed into the individual test vessels (i.e., 250 mL Erlenmeyer flasks covered with Jaece® non-toxic foam plugs).
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (previous names: Raphidocelis subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
- Details on test organisms:
- Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata3 used in testing were obtained from an in-house culture. The starter culture was purchased from the University of Waterloo Culture Collection (CPCC 37) (Appendix B). Cultures of P. subcapitata were maintained according to AquaTox SOP # 206 (AquaTox, 2016b). Cultures were aseptically transferred twice weekly (typically from 3 – 7 day old donors) and maintained in temperature and light controlled environments isolated from all testing. The axenic nature of the stock culture was verified by plating on Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) and Plate Count Agar (PCA). Algal growth curves conducted semi-annually ensured that algae were in an exponential growth phase, suitable for testing.

- Executive summary:
The toxicity of the test substance to the freshwater green alga,Pseudokirchneriella subcapitatawas investigated under static test conditions, according to OECD Guideline 201,“Freshwater Alga and Cyanobacteria, Growth Inhibition Test” (OECD, 2011).
With the following exceptions, all components of this study were conducted in accordance with the requirements of OECD Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) (OECD, 1998):
•P. subcapitataculture;
• Reference toxicant testing with P. subcapitata; and,
• Ecotoxicological and analytical method development.
Both the range-finding and definitive tests met all the validity criteria and the test results were based on measured concentrations at the beginning and end of the test, or more specifically, the nominal concentrations.
Results of the range-finding test indicated that the average algal growth estimates for 72-hour EC10is 1.5 -15mg/l , EC2015 -150mg/l and EC50s is 15 -150mg/l expressed here in terms of nominal concentrations.
From the definitive test and based on the TWM concentrations, the average specific growth rate, the 72-hour EC10, EC20 and EC50 were estimated to be 7.90, 11.2, and 18.8 mg/L, respectively. The 72-hour EC10, EC20 and EC50 for cell yield were estimated to be <0.781, <0.781 and 8.78 mg/L, respectively.
