The test substance was dissolved in the growth medium.
All media were sterilized for at least 20 minutes at 120°C.
After inoculation of the cultures, the extinction did not exceed 0.1.
Bacterial suspensions with extinction values >= 0.8 were diluted with demiwater

Validity criteria fulfilled:
no
Remarks:
partly due to lack of positive control, but growth validity fulfilled
Conclusions:
Study lacks some data (e.g. temperature). Principle of test according to current ISO guideline. The absence of reference substance and the lack of result wrt toxicity it can not be concluded the test was properly performed. Results are considered supportive when additional data/other studies would be available.
Executive summary:

In this study the toxicity of Dissolvine CSA to Pseudomonas putida was investigated. Triplicate measurements of the extinction as indication of growth were performed and compared to controls. Although some minor inhibition was observed (5 -16%) no dose dependency was apparent. It is therefore concluded that the test substance is not toxic for P. putida at nominal concentrations ranging 0.25-4.0 g/L. The EC50 would therefore be concluded at > 4.0 g/L.

Description of key information

No activated sludge respiration inhibition tests have been performed with the Reaction mass of (Gluconate)3Fe-Na3 and NaCl. No inhibition of the oxidation was observed in the preliminary ready biodegradability screening study at 9.3 mg/L the Reaction mass of (Gluconate)3Fe-Na3 and NaCl or 7.1 mg a.i./L (Ginkel, 2018). Based on the absence of any effect on daphnia in the acute daphnia test upto 1000 mg/L it is expected that Reaction mass of (Gluconate)3Fe-Na3 and NaCl will have like Sodium glucoheptonate no effect the respiration of activated sludge upto 1000 mg/L.

For this reason the available study from the structurally similar substance Sodium glucoheptonate (CAS no 31138 -65 -5) has been read across to the Reaction mass of (Gluconate)3Fe-Na3 and NaCl.

One toxicity test with micro-organisms have been performed for which a NOEC of 1000 mg a.i./L was found. In the study from van Ginkel (1989) which was performed according to ISO/TC 147/SC 5/WG after 16 h exposure of P. putida bacteria was evaluated.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

EC50 for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L
EC10 or NOEC for microorganisms:
1 000 mg/L

Additional information

Introduction:

A study was performed to assess the effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge. The method followed was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2010) No. 209 "Activated Sludge, Respiration Inhibition Test (Carbon and Ammonium Oxidation) ".

 

Methods:

Activated sewage sludge was exposed to an aqueous dispersion of the test item at concentrations of 10, 100 and 1000 mg active ingredient (a.i.)/L (3 replicates of the 1000 mg a.i./L test concentration) for a period of 3 hours at a temperature of 20 ± 2°C with the addition of a synthetic sewage as a respiratory substrate.

 

The rate of respiration was determined after 3 hours contact time and compared to data for the control and a reference item, 3,5-dichlorophenol.

 

Results:

The effect of the test item on the respiration of activated sewage sludge gave a 3‑Hour EC50value of greater than 1000 mg a.i./L. The No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) after 3 hours exposure was 1000 mg a.i./L.

 

It was considered unnecessary and unrealistic to test at concentrations in excess of 1000 mg a.i./L.

 

The reference item gave a 3-Hour EC50value of 12 mg/L, 95% confidence limits 9.6 - 15 mg/L.
