- PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF TEST SOLUTION (especially for difficult test substances)
The test substance is a poorly water soluble mixture; therefore a water accommodated fraction (WAF) was prepared following general guidance provided in OECD 23. The stock solutions (1 mg/L) were prepared by directly adding 2 mg of test substance to 2L of test medium. The mixtures were stirred for about 2 days. Undissolved test substance was removed by centrifugation (approximately 20 min at about 17700 G). After centrifugation, no undissolved test substance was observed but the Tyndall effect was positive. The centrifuged test solution appeared yellow and clear. Then filtration with a membrane filter (pore width 0.2 µm) was done. The first 50-100 mL of filtered solution was discarded (used to condition the filter).
After filtration, the Tyndall effect was negative. The stock solution appeared yellow and clear. The aqueous fraction of the test solution, after separation of the undissolved material, is considered the water saturated fraction (WSF) in test media. Due to the very low loading rates required, it was hot possible to prepare each test solution separately. Therefore the lower test concentrations were prepared by diluting the water accomodatet fraction (WAF) into test medium according to guidance in OECD 23.
Fresh test solutions were prepared for renewal on day 2 to maximize the exposure to all soluble components of the test substance.
For preparation and dilution scheme see below.
The control and the lower test concentration up to 0.1 mg/L were visibly clear over the exposure period. The higher test concentrations (0.32 – 1 mg/L) were yellowish and clear. In the aged test solutions after 2, 5 and 7 days undissolved test particulate material (yellow crumbs) were visible at the bottom of the test vessels.
The control solutions were treated in the same way.
Test organisms
- Test organisms (species):
- Lemna gibba
- Details on test organisms:
- TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Fat duckweed
- Strain: Clone G3
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): The stock culture was obtained from BASF SE, Crop Protection Ecology and Environmental Analytics, Speyerer Strasse 2, 67117 Limburgerhof, Germany.
- Age of inoculum (at test initiation): An inoculum culture of Lemna gibba (7-10 days old at 24 °C 2°) is used to initiate the test (study day 0).
- Method of cultivation: A culture is maintained continuously at the test facility. Before the exposure an inoculum culture is prepared with sufficient colonies of Lemna transferred aseptically into fresh sterile 20X AAP media. The inoculum culture is incubated under test conditions (see section 3.7) for 9 days prior to test initiation.

OTHER TEST CONDITIONS
- Sterile test conditions: yes
- Photoperiod: Artificial light, type universal white (OSRAM L 25), permanent illumination. To minimize the potential effect of slight variations in illumination.
- Light intensity and quality: 8526 lux (±15%) at a wave length of 400 - 700 nm
- Randomization: The test vessels were placed in the test chamber according to a randomization plan prepared by using a program of the laboratory data evaluation group of the testing facility. the test vessels were rearranged at start of exposure and each time of counting (d0, d2 and d5).
EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED (with observation intervals if applicable) :
The frond number in the test vessels were counted at the start of exposure, after day 2, day 5 and at test termination.
Dry weight was determined at the start of exposure in a comparable colony and at the end of exposure in all replicate.
Colonies consisting of 2 to 4 visible fronds were transferred from the inoculum culture and randomly assigned to the test vessels under aseptic conditions. Each test vessel should contain a total of 9 to 12 fronds. The number of fronds and colonies were the same in each test vessel. The test vessels were impartially distributed in an incubator and continuous illumination. Vessel positions were altered after each assessment. The temperature was monitored within the incubator and in a separate vessel filled with deionized water. At the end of the test, the pH was measured in all replicates of the control and treatment groups; the pH at test initiation was measured in the respective bulk solutions.
The TOC values of all the test solutions were measured at the start and end of one renewal interval as an additional water quality parameter.
Frond number
The frond number in the test vessels were counted at the start of the test, after day 2, day 4 and after end of exposure the total number of fronds was counted in each replicate. Every frond visibly projecting beyond the edge of the parent frond was counted. Observations on the appearance of the fronds included necrosis, chlorosis, changes in plant size or shape and root growth were documented.
Dry weight
The biomass based on dry weight was determined at the start of exposure from a sample of the inoculum culture representative of what was used to begin the test, and at the end of the test with the plant material from each treatment and control vessel. All colonies were collected from each of the test vessels and rinsed with deionized water. They were blotted to remove excess water and then dried at 60°C for 6 days to a constant weight. Any root fragments were included.
RANGE-FINDING STUDY
The test concentrations were selected on the basis of range finding tests (experimental conduct in accordance with GLP but without a GLP Status).

- VALIDITY CRITERIA
This test was fully compliant with all the following validity criteria required by the corresponding test guidelines and is considered valid.
• The doubling time of frond number in the control was 1.4 days (<2.5 days). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- In order to verify that the Lemna cultures are responding normally to toxic stress, tests with a reference substance (3,5-Dichlorphenol) are conducted. Reference substance tests are conducted according to OECD 221 guidelines and in accordance with GLP, but without a GLP status. The results from the reference substance test are compared to 3,5-Dichlorphenol EC50 values published in OECD Guideline, which represent the typical response range for the Lemna species tested.
The EC50(7d) of the reference substance 3,5-Dichlorphenol was 11.8 mg/L (experiment date: 03 Apr 2017, project number: 63E0308/02E014).
This result is within the range of 5.9 – 13.3 mg/L and indicates that the culture of Lemna gibbqa used in this study is responding normally to toxic stress.
