Determination of toxicity of test material on the growth of 14 gram negative microorganisms. Inhibitory activity of test chemical was determined by the traditional agar gel method. The conc. of test chemical used for the study was 0.6918 mg/l (1 µM). 14 different gram negative bact. were used for the study was Agrobacterium radiobacter, Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Escherichia coli, Erwinia atroseptica,Erwinia herbicola, Erwinia uredovora, Pseudomonas fluorescence, Pseudomonas phaseolicola, Pseudomonas syringae , Rhizobium trifolii, Xanthomonas malvacearum, Xanthomonas phaseoli and X. stewartii. These test organisms were taken from the collection of the Plant Protection Institute, Hungarian Academy of Sciences (Budapest, Hungary). The bacteria were maintained on Nutrient Agar (Oxoid CM3) completed with vitamins pyridoxine. HCl, thiamine. HCl, riboflavine and nicotinamide at 1, 10, 1 and 20 mg/l concentrations. Bacterial suspensions for screening were prepared by washing cells with sterile tap water containing 0.3% peptone from slants of 20 h old cultures grown at (21±1) °C. A layer of 5 mm depth of inoculated medium was dispensed into Petri dishes of 90 mm diameter. Filter paper discs of 5 mm diameter were impregnated with 1 µM solution of test compounds and placed centrally on the surface of the agar plate. Growth inhibition zones were measured after 24 h incubation at 21 ± 1 °C. After incubation colony diameters were determined and growth inhibition was calculated in percentage of dye free colony growth. Each determination was run in quadruplicate. Based on no effect on growth inhibition of gram negative test organisms, the NOEC value of test material was determine to be 0.6918 mg/l for Erwinia herbicola and Pseudomonas syringae. Whereas the growth inhibition was observed on the other organisms so LOEC was 0.6918 mg/l for remaining 12 bacteria.

The effect of test material on leucine aminopeptidase, acid phosphatase, and y-glutamyl transpeptidase activity in P. caudatum was studied in order to investigate the mechanism of toxicity.
