The effect of Caprilo (Cyperus Scariosus ext. Oil) was tested on the growth of freshwater single cell green algaPseudokirchneriella subcapitata.
Range finding test was carried out to select the test concentrations for the definitive test. In the range finding test, the tested concentration was 0.00001, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L with single replicate. The test item exhibited 4.73, 5.41, 15.88, 29.05, 43.92, 46.62, 85.14 and 88.18 % reduction in cell biomass at the tested concentrations of 0.00001, 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 and 100 mg/L at 72 h.
The alga was exposed to the test item at the nominal concentrations of 0.25, 0.8, 2.56, 8.19, 26.21 and 83.87 mg/L (factor of about 3.2) along with a negative control and a reference substance (Potassium dichromate) at 0.9 mg/L. The cell growth was measured at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the initiation of the test.
The concentration/effect relationship was determined using two factors namely growth rate and yield at the end of the test (72 hours). The per cent inhibition of growth rate was 11.45, 13.5, 16.23, 19.09, 41.77 and 55.34 % and the percent yield inhibition was 39.39, 44.65, 50.94, 56.78, 84.56 and 92.00 % at the nominal concentrations of 0.25, 0.8, 2.56, 8.19, 26.21 and 83.87 mg/L, respectively, when compared to the negative control. There was 23.98 % and 65.24 % inhibition of average growth rate and yield of alga, respectively, in the reference substance group at 0.9 mg/L. Observed cells were found morphologically normal.
The EC values calculated for growth rate and yield on the basis of the nominal concentration of the test item are presented below:
