Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Ethyldienon up to a saturated solution (approximately 4 mg/L) had no inhibitory effect on the growth of Pseudomonas putida. The slight increase of growth at the saturated concentration is not considered to be biologically relevant.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the test compound Ethyldienon (ZK 28519) on the growth of the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. The study was conducted in agreement with the standard DIN 38412 L8, Mar. 91.

The test substance was incubated in an aqueous solution including nutrients with a bacterial population of Pseudomonas putida for a test duration of approximately 16 hours. The nutrient solution was made up of mainly nitrate, phosphates, carbohydrates, some trace elements and vitamins. A stock solution with a concentration of 1000 mg/L was prepared, stirred for 24 hours and filtered. This filtered stock solution was used for the highest test concentration. For further test concentrations the stock solution was diluted 1 :10, 1:100 and 1 :1000. Additionally, one control without the test substance was used. All test solutions including the control were incubated in triplicate. Furthermore, for each test concentration one test vessel was incubated without addition of the inoculum in order to analyse the inherent turbidity of the test compound. The concentration of the saturated, filtered solution was analysed with a TOC-analyser and subsequent calculation based on the structural formula.

As a parameter for the growth of the bacterial population, the turbidity of the test and control solutions was analysed photometrically at a wave-Iength of 436 nm.

The measurements showed that there is no growth inhibition of the bacterial population. On the contrary, there is a slight growth increase at the highest test concentration in comparison with the control group.
