- No. of vessels per concentration (replicates): 6
- No. of vessels per control (replicates): 6
- No. of vessels per vehicle control (replicates): 6
OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Light intensity: 7310-7640 Lux

TEST CONCENTRATIONS

Dose descriptor:
EC50
Effect conc.:

Effect conc.:
> 2.108 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
meas. (initial)
Conc. based on:
test mat.
Basis for effect:
growth rate
Details on results:
As the percent change in analysed concentration over nominal concentration at the end of test was > 20 %, the results were expressed as initial measured concentration (i.e. 2.1 085 mg/L).
Reported statistics and error estimates:
Statistical analysis was not carried out as there was no inhibition of growth at the limit concentration tested.
