Any other information on results incl. tables

The COD for test item was determined to be 2.03 mg O2 per mg substance. The maximum percent biodegradation for MK195K of 15% was observed on day 28. The sodium acetate 2mg/L reference control achieved greater than 60% biodegradation within the 28 day test period. Dissolved oxygen depletion in the seawater controls remained within the test guideline of 30%; on day28 a maximum dissolved oxygen depletion of 5.6% occurred. Control oxygen level had decreased from 7.2 mg/L on day 0 to 6.8 mg/L on day 28.
