Any other information on results incl. tables

The EC10 was estimated to 0.33 g/L for both samples. The EC50 value for neutralized samples was found to correspond to 0.95 g/L (95% confidence interval of 0.57-1.59 g/L), for alkaline samples 1.55 g/L (95% confidence interval of 0.53-4.54 g/L).

The bacterial growth generally resulted in a decrease of the pH of the medium. The highest decrease was found with a neutralized test substance (0.33 g/L, pH 4.9). The inhibition was also stronger after neutralization, indicating that at least a part of the inhibition was caused by this decrease.
