Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- yes
- Details on sampling:
- - Concentrations: 100 mg/L
- Sampling method: For the determination of the test substance concentration in the test solution, samples were taken at 0; 24; 48 and 72 h from the mid layer of each vessel. The algal bodies were removed by centrifugation (1750xg, 10 min) and the aqueos phase analysed by HPLC. For counting of algal cells, 2 mL of the test solutions from each test vessel was mixed with 18 mL (or 19 mL) of electrolyte solution (ISOTON II) followed by determination using a particle counter.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- The ErC50 of L-lysine hydrochloride to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata was > 100 mg/L and NOECr was 100 mg/L, based on mean measured concentrations.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity of L-lysine hydrochloride to Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata (6 replicates/concentration, intial biomass 1 x 104cells/mL) was assessed according to OECD 201. The nominal test concentration was 100 mg/L. Measured concentrations of the test substance in the test solutions during the exposure period were well maintained, i.e. within range of 99 - 102 % of the nominal value. Average measured concentration during the exposure period was 100 mg /L. The ErC50 (0 -72h) was >100 mg/L and NOECr (0 -72h) was 100 mg/L.
