Description of key information
In a study conducted according to guidelines (EU Method C.3; OECD Guideline 201) the 72 h NOEC and EC50 based on growth rate and yield of Desmodesmus subspicatus were determined to be 100 and >100 mg/L L-tryptophan nominal (corresponding to a geometric mean measured concentration of 84.8 and >84.8 mg/L), respectively.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
The toxicity of L-tryptophan to Desmodesmus subspicatus was investigated in a study conducted according to EU Method C.3 (Algal Inhibition test; 2008) and OECD Guideline 201 (Alga, Growth Inhibition Test; 2006). Cultures of Desmodesmus subspicatus were exposed to a nominal concentration of 100 mg/L (limit test) in a static test for 72 h. The 72 h NOEC and EC50 based on growth rate and yield were determined to be 100 and >100 mg/L nominal (corresponding to a geometric mean measured concentration of 84.8 and >84.8 mg/L), respectively.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
