4. ECOTOXICITY ID: 106-44-5
DATE: 24.05.2004
Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, no purity reported
Remark : Although it is suggested that Microtox may lack reproducibility due to
variations in bacterial cell suspensions [Bitton G (1983) Bacterial and
Biochemical Tests for Assessing Chemical Toxicity in the Aquatic
Environment: A Review. Crit Rev Environ Control 13: 51 -67], no
information is supplied on the source of the lyophilized bacteria, their age,
duration of reconstitution and other important parameters
Test condition : 15 degrees C
