Executive summary:

Various studies available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test chemical on the growth and other activity of microorganisms. The studies are as mentioned below:

 

In the first study toxicity to micro-organisms study was conducted on Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuisATCC35640 for 24 hrs. Broth macrodilution method was used for the antibacterial assay. The test chemical solution was prepared by dissolving the test substance in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The highest conc. of test chemical used for the study was 1600 mg/l. Test organism Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesusATCC35640, was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA, USA). The cells of Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuisATCC35640 were precultured in 3 ml of NYG broth without shaking at 37°C for 16 h. This preculture was used for the antibacterial assay. Serial two fold dilutions of the test compound was prepared in DMF, and 30 µl of each dilution was added to 3 ml of Nutrient broth-yeast extract-glucose (NYG) broth (0.8% nutrient broth, 0.5% yeast extract, 0.1% glucose). These were inoculated with 30 µl of preculture of Salmonella choleraesuis. After the incubation of the cultures at 37°C for 24 h, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest conc. of the test compound that demonstrated no visible growth. The MBC was also determined. After the determination of MIC, 100-fold dilutions with drug-free NYG broth from each tube showing no turbidity were incubated at 37°C for 48 hrs. After 48 hrs, the MBC was calculated. MBC was defined as the lowest conc. of the test compound that showed no visible growth in the drug-free cultivation. Based on inhibition in growth of test organism Salmonella choleraesuis subsp. choleraesuisATCC35640, the MIC and MBC value was determine to be 12.5 mg/l, respectively.

Broth macrodilution method was used for the assay. The test chemical solution was prepared by dissolving the test substance in N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The highest conc. of test chemical used for the study was 1600 mg/l. Test organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 7754, was obtained from American Type Culture Collection (Manassas, VA).S. cerevisiae was maintained at -80°C in yeast nitrogen broth (YNB) containing 25% glycerol and subcultured at 30°C in Sabouraud’s dextrose agar (SDA) medium (Bactopeptone 1%, dextrose 4%, Bacto-agar 1.8%). A fresh culture was preincubated with shaking for 16 h at 30°C in 2.5% malt extract (ME) medium (BBL).

The assay tubes were incubated without shaking at 30°C for 48 h, the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined as the lowest conc. of the test compound that demonstrated no visible growth. After the MIC had been determined, MFC was also determined. For determination of MFC, a 30µl aliquot was taken from each clear tube and added into 3 mL of drug-free fresh medium. After 48 h of incubation, the MFC was determined as the lowest concentration of the test compounds in which no recovery of microorganism was observed. Based on inhibition of growth of test organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 7754, the MIC and MFC value was determine to be 6.25 mg/l, respectively.
