Unicellular freshwater green alga.
Genus: Desmodesmus
Species: subspicatus
SAG Strain Number: 86.81
Taxonomic position: Chlorophyta - Chlorophyceae
- Origin and Culture
The culture of Desmodesmus subspicatus was obtained in January 2016 by MBM Sciencebridge GmbH (Institut für Pflanzenphysiologie of Universität Göttingen). 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 perma-nent culture, the pre-culture was prepared.
ANALYTICAL METHOD:
- Sample preparation
At the start of the test, all concentration were measured undiluted. 5 mL of the test item solution was acidified with 50 µL HNO3 (65 % water, Roth) and measured via ICP-OES.
Because the measured concentration lay over the highest calibration level, the concentrations 10 / 22 / 46 and 100 mg/L were diluted as followed to get the values in the calibrated range: 5 mL of the test solution with the concentrations 10 mg/L was diluted with 4.9 mL algal medium (2x); 2 mL of the test solution with the concentration of 22 mg/L was diluted with 7.9 mL algal medium (5x); 1 mL of the test solution with the concentration of 46 mg/L was diluted with 8.9 mL algal medium (10x); 0.5 mL of the test solution with the concentration of 100 mg/L was diluted with 9.4 mL algal medium (20x). Afterwards, 100 µL HNO3 (65 % in water) was added to the dilutions.
For the specificity determination, 1 % HNO3 (65 % water) was added to each sample.
CONDUCT OF THE STUDY:
- Pre-Culture
For the pre-culture an aliquot of the permanent culture was brought into nutrient medium and incubated under continuous lighting for 4 days under test conditions (Lighting: within the specified range of 4440 – 8880 lux; 21.3 – 23.5 °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.
- Performance of the Study
For each treatment, 200 mL of the respective test item solution was mixed with the necessary amount of algal pre-culture (0.397 mL) to achieve a cell concentration of 1.9 *103 cells/mL (see chapter 12 Devia-tions). For the blank control, 350 mL nutrient medium was used instead of test item solution and mixed with the necessary amount of algal pre-culture (0.695 mL). In this mixture, the pH-value was measured.
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.
The test vessels were filled with 45 ± 1 mL of the respective test solution and incubated open (covered with perforated plastic foil acting as a stopper) for 72 hours, shaken on an orbital shaker to keep the algae in suspension. 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).
Additionally, an extra replicate for each treatment and the control without algae was prepared. To avoid adsorption onto the algae cells, the content of Fe as component of the test item in the test solutions was measured in extra replicates without algae cells at the beginning and at the end of the experiment.

- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 (CAS No. 7778-50-9) was used as positive control in a separate reference test.
The 72h-EC50 values of potassium dichromate were determined in a separate reference test. For the estimation of the 72h-EC50 values of the positive control, the fits showed sufficient statistical correspondence of the data with the dose-response-equation. The values were within the range of the laboratory(growth rate 0.65 - 1.10 mg/L, yield 0.21 – 0.66 mg/L). - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Remarks:
- No observations were made which might cause doubts concerning the validity of the study outcome. The result of the test can be considered valid.
- Conclusions:
- Based on the values obtained for Acuatic Toxicity (growth rate and yield) of Ferric Choline Citrate in Desmodesmus subspicatus, the classification criteria are not met.
