Test organisms

Test organisms (species):
Raphidocelis subcapitata (previous names: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Selenastrum capricornutum)
Details on test organisms:
-Test species and strain: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata KORSHIKOV (SAG 61.81)
- Age (on study day 0): A stock algal culture is maintained continuously at the test facility. Before the exposure an inoculum culture is prepared from the stock culture and incubated for 4 days at 21 – 24 °C (max. temperature difference 2 °C). After this time, the inoculum culture is in exponential growth phase and can be used to initiate the test (study day 0).
- Supplier: Collection of algal cultures in University of Göttingen/Germany
