TEST ORGANISM
- Common name: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata
- Strain: 278/4
- Source (laboratory, culture collection): SAMS Limited
- Age of inoculum (at test initiation):
- Method of cultivation: culture were prepared from stock laboratory cultures by inoculating autoclaved freshwater at 120 °C for 15 minutes with nutrient medium (3N-BBM+V) 2 to 4 days before test commencement and incubated at approximately 21 +/- 2 °C under constant illumination as the inoculum source for subsequent toxicity tests.

yes
Conclusions:
The 72-hour EC50 was 226 mg/L. The substance did not meet the criteria for classification as toxic to the aquatic environment according to Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008.
Executive summary:

The short-term toxicity of Trans-hex-2-en-1-ol to algae was determined during a GLP-compliant study performed according to the OECD Testing Guideline 201.

The species was Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata.

A range-finding test was performed to determine the concentrations to be used during the definitive test.

The 72-hour EC50 was 226 mg/L. The substance did not meet the criteria for classification as toxic to the aquatic environment according to Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.
