Sampling and analysis
- Analytical monitoring:
- no
Test solutions
- Vehicle:
- no
- Details on test solutions:
- The batch of L-Lysine Monohydrochloride tested was a beige powder with lumps and a purity of 99.72%. A stock solution of 0.5 g/l was prepared by dissolving 0.1251 g test substance in 250 ml of Milli-RO water (tap water purified by reverse osmosis; Millipore Corp., Bedford, Mass., USA). An amount of synthetic sewage feed (16 ml), activated sludge (200 ml) and an adequate amount of the test substance stock were mixed and made up to 500 ml with Milli-RO water in a 1-litre bottle. A concentration of 100 mg/l was tested in duplicate.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- activated sludge of a predominantly domestic sewage
- Details on inoculum:
- The sludge was coarsely sieved, washed and diluted with ISO-medium. A small amount of the sludge was weighed and dried overnight at ca. 105°C to determine the amount of suspended solids (3.6 g/l of sludge, as used for the test). The pH was 8.2 on the day of testing. The batch of sludge was used one day after collection; therefore 50 ml of synthetic sewage feed was added per litre of activated sludge at the end of the collection day. The sludge was kept aerated at test temperature until use.

- Conc. based on:

- Basis for effect:
- inhibition of total respiration
- Remarks:
- respiration rate
- Details on results:
- No (significant) inhibition of respiration rate of the sludge was recorded at 100 mg L-Lysine Monohydrochloride per litre. The duplicate measurement confirmed the result of the first measurement. Therefore, no further testing was needed. Hence, the EC50 of L-Lysine Monohydrochloride exceeded 100 mg/l (based on nominal concentrations).
- Results with reference substance (positive control):
- Results with reference substance valid: Yes
The inhibitory effect of 3,5-dichlorophenol on aerobic waste water (activated sludge) bacteria increased with increasing concentration , ranging from a 28 % inhibition at 5.0 mg/l to 73% at 30 mg/l. Relevant effects levels: The EC50 of 3,5-dichlorophenol was: 10.8 mg/l - Reported statistics and error estimates:
- For the reference substance the percentage inhibition was plotted against the logarithm of the concentrations and the EC50 was determined using linear regression analysis.
For L-Lysine Monohydrochloride no EC50 could be calculated because the test substance proved to be non-toxic (EC50 > 100 mg/l).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- L-Lysine Monohydrochloride was not toxic to waste water (activated sludge) bacteria at a nominal concentration of 100 mg/l (EC50 > 100 mg/l).
