Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Citroflex B-6 cannot be considered readily biodegradable, but is ultimately biodegraded in the presence of a weak inoculum at concentrations above its limit of water solubility following extended incubation.
