This gave the bacterial count as 107 to 108 CFU/ml. At the regular interval microbial plating was also performed on agar to confirm the vitality and CFU count of microorganism.ORMixed Inoculum Preparation:Domestic waste water, surface soil and soil samples from polluted sites receiving predominantly domestic waste was collected and were mixed to get diluted suspension. The inoculum was kept aerobic until being used for experiment by supplying organic and inorganic sources required by micro flora to sustain at controlled laboratory conditions. This gave the bacterial count as 107 to 108 CFU/ml. At the regular interval microbial plating was also performed on agar to confirm the vitality and CFU count of microorganism.

- Details on results:
- The oxygen consumed by the test systems was corrected for oxygen consumption occurring in the blank test systems. The BOD Values (mgO2/mg) and percent biodegradation results for each test system are reported in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. The BOD28 value of test chemical was observed to be 1.39 mgO2/mg. ThOD was determined by calculation as 1.44 mgO2/mg. % degradation was calculated using the values of BOD and ThOD for test item and was determined to be 96.52 % at 20 ± 1°C. The % degradation of procedure control (reference item) was also calculated using BOD & ThOD and was determined to be 73.49 %. Degradation of Sodium Benzoate exceeds 39.15 % on 7 days & 61.44 % on 14th day. The activity of the inoculum is thus verified and the test can be considered as valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- The test chemical sodium salicylate undergoes 96.52 % biodegradation after 28 days in the test conditions. Thus, the test chemical was considered to be readily biodegradable.
- Executive summary:
28-days Closed Bottle test following the OECD guideline 301 D was performed to determine the ready biodegradability of the test chemical sodium salicylate(CAS no. 54 -21 -7). The study was performed at a temperature of 20°C. The test system included control, test item and reference item. The inoculum used in this study was Polyseed. The polyseed capsule were added in 500 ml D.I water and then stirred for 1 hour for proper mixing and functioning of inoculum. This gave the bacterial count as 107to 108CFU/ml, the concentration of inoculums used in this study was 32ml/L. At the regular interval microbial plating was also performed on agar to confirm the vitality and CFU count of microorganism. The concentration of test chemical and reference item (Sodium Benzoate) chosen for both the study was 4 mg/L. OECD mineral medium was used for the study. ThOD (Theoretical oxygen demand) of test and reference chemical was determined by calculation. % degradation was calculated using the values of BOD and ThOD for test item and reference item. The % degradation of procedure control (reference item) was also calculated using BOD & ThOD and was determined to be 73.49 %. Degradation of Sodium Benzoate exceeds 39.15% on 7 days & 61.44 % on 14th day. The activity of the inoculum is thus verified and the test can be considered as valid. The BOD28 value of test chemical was observed to be 1.39 mgO2/mg. ThOD was calculated as 1.44 mgO2/mg. Accordingly, the % degradation of the test chemical sodium salicylate after 28 days of incubation at 20 ± 1°C according to Closed Bottle test was determined to be 96.52 %. Based on the results, the test chemical, under the test conditions, was considered to be readily biodegradable in nature.
