Description of key information
A growth inhibition test with algae exposed to diglycerol was performed according to OECD test guidelines and GLP principles.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
- EC10 or NOEC for freshwater algae:
- 100 mg/L
Additional information
A combined limit/range-finding test was performed, according to OECD test guidelines, exposing six replicates of exponentially growing algae, Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, to a control and a concentration of 100 mg Diglycerol per liter of medium. Additionally, three replicates per concentration of exponentially growing algae were exposed to concentrations of 0.1, 1.0 and 10 mg/l. The initial cell density was 10E4 cells and the total test period was 72 hours. Analysis of the test substance showed that the concentration remained stable during the test period, and was 99% of initial. No reduction of growth rate or inhibition of yield was recorded at any of the concentrations of Diglycerol tested. The EC50 for growth rate reduction (ERC50: 0-72h) and the EC50 for yield inhibition were beyond the range tested, i.e. exceeded 100 mg/l. The NOEC for growth rate reduction and yield inhibition was 100 mg/l.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
