TEST CONDITIONS
- Test temperature: Actual: 21.5 – 21.7 °C
- pH: Start: 7.49; End: 1) 7.84, 2) 7.82; [1), 2) = First, second replicate]
- pH adjusted: no

TEST SYSTEM
- Culturing apparatus: 500 mL glass vessels
- Number of culture flasks/concentration:
•two for the test item (P1, P2)
•one for the functional control (R1)
•one for the toxicity control (T1)
•two for the inoculum control (C1, C2)

- Measuring equipment: OxiTop OC110 controller, WTW ; OxiTop measuring heads, WTW

SAMPLING
- Sampling frequency: The oxygen consumption was determined in the incubation vessels by the OxiTop® measuring system at 360 measuring points (every 112 minutes) during the 28 d incubation period.
