- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
Following OECD (2019)Guidance Document on Aquatic Toxicity Testing of Difficult Substances and Mixtures, a stock solution containing 100 mg/L test item in algal medium (demineralised water enriched with miner-als but without algae) was prepared. For this, the loading rate of 106.4 µL/L (based on a density of 0.94 g/mL, stated in the SDS) was mixed with algal medium. This solution was treated with an ultrasonic bath for 30 minutes in order to achieve complete dissolution of the test item. The lower treatments were (32 / 10 / 3.2 / 1 mg/L) prepared by dilution of this stock solution with algal medium. - Test organisms (species):

- Strain: SAG Strain Number 86.81

- Method of cultivation:The algae are kept as stock culture on solid agar at 2 - 8 °C. From the stock culture, a permanent culture was prepared. From an aliquot of the permanent cul-ture, the pre-culture was prepared.

For the pre-culture an aliquot of the permanent culture was brought into nutrient medium and incubated under continuous lighting for 5 days under test conditions (Lighting: within the specified range of 4440 – 8880 lux; 20.5 – 22.4 °C). The resulting culture grew exponentially. Before usage, the pre-culture was checked for the absence of cell aggregates and the cell number of the culture was determined. - Test type:

EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The real cell concentration at the beginning of the test was measured with an electronic particle counter in the blank control solution. This measured value was used as start cell concentration for all replicates. Before the start of incubation and every 24 hours, the cell number was determined with an electronic particle counter. After the test the pH value in treatments and blank control was measured again. At the end of the test, the treatments were examined microscopically in order to assess the appearance of the algae and detect abnormalities (e.g. caused by the exposure to the test item).

- Conclusions:
- The reliable OECD 201 Guideline study on algal growth inhibition reported a 72-hr EC50 of 62.87 mg/l and an EC10 of 7.44 mg/L based on growth of Desmodesmus subspicatus (Measured geometric mean).
- Executive summary:
The reliable OECD 201 Guideline algal growth inhibition study was undertaken to GLP standards. The study was performed using five concentrations ranging from 1.0 to 100 mg/L (nominal) using the species Desmodesmus subspicatus for 72 hours duration. The cell concentration of each replicate was determined by measuring the cell numbers every 24 hours with an electronic particle counter. Growth rate µ and the yield[1]were determined from the cell number at the respective observation times. Significant inhibition of algal growth was observed at the following concentrations: 10, 32 and 100 mg/L (nominal).
At the start of the test and every 24 hours, the content of the test item in the test solutions was determined using HPLC. The measured concentrations were between 78 % and 95 % of the nominal concentration. Therefore, the determination of the results was based on the geometric mean of the measured concentrations (see § 39 OECD 201).
The following results for the test item were determined:

Note: According to the guideline, NOEC is determined by comparing of the respective treatment with the blank control. Statistically insignificant variation is considered as “no observed effect”, although the EC10which is read from the graph toxicity vs. concentration may lie lower.[1]Yield (according to OECD Guideline 201) is defined as the biomass at the end of the exposure period minus the biomass at the start of the exposure period. Calculation see under 8.2 Growth and growth inhibition are quantified from measurements of the algal biomass as a function of time. Algal biomass is defined as the dry weight per volume, e.g. mg algae/L test solution. However, dry weight is difficult to measure and therefore surrogate parameters are used. Of these surrogates, cell counts are most often used.
