Description of key information
Based on predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with respect to the descriptor log Kow, to assess the toxicity effect of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) in microorganism (tetrahymena pyriformis) in a 48 hours of exposure. The inhibition growth concentration (IGC50) of Diphenyl sulphide in microorganism (Tetrahymena pyriformis) on the basis of growth inhibition effect was estimated to be 49.94 mg/L, indicating that the substance have no effect on microorganism. Therefore, it was concluded that Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) does not exhibit any toxic effects to microorganism.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- EC50 for microorganisms:
- 49.94 mg/L
Additional information
Summarized result of the toxicity of chemical on the growth of microorganisms are as follows:
In a first study from QSAR toolbox version 3.4, Based on predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with respect to the descriptor log Kow, to assess the toxicity effect of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) in microorganism (tetrahymena pyriformis) in a 48 hours of exposure. The inhibition growth concentration (IGC50) of Diphenyl sulphide in microorganism (Tetrahymena pyriformis) on the basis of growth inhibition effect was estimated to be 49.94 mg/L, indicating that the substance have no effect on microorganism. Therefore, it was concluded that Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) does not exhibit any toxic effects to microorganism.
Similarly the second study for the structually similar read across chemical (103 -73 -1) was used from DOSE Data is from dictionary of Substances and their Effects. Acute toxicity of test substance phenetole on micro organism Photobacterium phosphoreum for 30 min. exposure was studied.The effective concentration (EC50) value of phenetole (Cas no.103 -73 -1) in microorganism (Photobacterium phosphoreum) in exposure period of 30 min study was determined to be 7.53 mg/L.
In the third study for the read across chemical (100 -47 -0) from peer reveiwed journal water research 2018 was used. Aim of the study was to determine the nature of chemical benzonitrile when comes in contact with bacteria Pseudomonas putida. Cell proliferation inhibition test (digestion test): The lowest concentration at which an initial inhibition of cell proliferation of microorganism takes place was also observed. The concentration of the bacterial suspension inhibition was measured by turbidimetrically. The pollutant solution of a known content was prepared in sterile double-distilled water. Four parallel dilution series was prepared in 300-ml Erlenmeyer flasks, stoppered with cotton-lined plastic caps. Each of the dilutions contains 1 part v/v of the pollutant solution in 20to 214parts v/v of mixture. Dilution of test solution was prepared as the measurement was based on the turbidity and thus subsequent dilutions was made. Each flask contains 80 ml of culture liquid at the start. Make up each flask of the three dilution series to be inoculated to 100ml by adding 5 ml each of stock solution I, 5 ml each of stock solution II and I0 ml each of the prepared bacterial suspension from the preliminary culture having a known adjusted extinction value. After the exposure of chemical, effect was observed at which cell proliferation inhibited. Based on the inhibition of proliferation rate of bacteria Pseudomonas putida due to exposure of chemical benzonitrile for 16 hrs, the LOEC was 11 mg/l.
