Remarks:
95% confidence LImites 28 - 40 mg/L
Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
Validation criteria: Cell concentration in controlmust increase by a factor of at least 16 . Mean C of V in the daily growth rates in control must not exceed 35%. Ct of V of average specific growth rate in replicate control cultures must not exceed 7%.
Conclusions:
Growth rate:
- EC50(mg/L): 130 (Values determined from the equation for the fitted line as no concentration tested resulted in 50% inhibition of the growth rate)
- 95% confidence limits (mg/L): It was not possible to calculate 95% confidence limits for the ErC50 value as the data generated did not fit the models available for the calculation of the confidence limit.
- NOEC (mg/L): 10
- LOEC (mg/L): 32
Yield:
- EC50(mg/L): 34
- 95% confidence limits (mg/L): 28-41
- NOEC (mg/L): 10
- LOEC (mg/L): 32
