92.7 mg/L
Nominal / measured:
nominal
Conc. based on:
other: enyzme concentrate dry matter

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Analysis of the immobility of Daphnia magna exposed to peroxidase to concentrations up to 546.6 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/L for 48 hours gave an EC50 value of 92.7 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/L, equivalent to 26.2 mg/L active enzyme protein.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of Peroxidase to Daphnia magna was assessed under static exposure conditions.


The study was conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 202, Part 1 and EEC Directive 67/548 Annex 5, C2 as published in 84/449/EEC. A group of twenty Daphnia ≤24 hours old was exposed for 48 hours to Peroxidase in concentrations up to 546.6 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/L. Dechlorinated tap water was used as test water, having a total hardness of 150 -200 mg/L.


Observations of the Daphnia in each control and test vessel were made after 24 and 48 hours, which produced these findings:


48-hour EC50 value: 92.7 mg/L (26.2 mg/L active enzyme protein)


48-hour NOEC value: 31.2 mg/L (8.8 mg/L active enzyme protein)

Description of key information

The short-term toxicity to aquatic invertebrates of the present target substance, Glucose oxidase IUBMB 1.1.3.4, has not been determined but another enzyme (Peroxidase, IUBMB 1.11.1.7) has been analyzed and used as a source substance for read-across. Analysis of the immobility of Daphnia magna exposed to peroxidase to concentrations up to 546.6 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/L for 48 hours gave an EC50 value of 92.7 mg enzyme concentrate dry matter/L, equivalent to 26.2 mg/L active enzyme protein.
