Walton, Aina Charlotte Wennberg, Russell J. Davenport, Delina LyonInternational ring test with 13 laboratories validated a new test for marine biodegradation with a focus on more reliable persistence screening.
New test (imBSTMR) incorporates increased bacterial cell numbers and runs beyond 60 days.
New test provides a more reliable and less variable characterisation of the biodegradation of five reference compounds (sodium benzoate, triethanolamine, 4-nitrophenol, anionic polyacrylamide, pentachlorophenol), with respect to non-persistence thresholds, than the current OECD 306 method.
