SECTION 12: Ecological Information

12.1 Toxicity (Aquatic and Terrestrial): LC50 Carp >40 mg/l/48 hr /Conditions of bioassay not specified in source/

12.2 Persistence and Degradability: Half-lives in two soil types with organic content of 2.53 and 9.6% and moisture of 42.6 and 87%, respectively, at pH 6.0 and 25 °C were <2 days(1).

12.3 Bioaccumulative Potential: An estimated BCF of 3.1 was calculated for blasticidin-S(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of -4.68(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Blasticidin-S has pKa1, pKa2, pKa3, and pKa4 of 2.4 (carboxylic acid), 4.6, 8.0, and >12.5 (amino groups), respectively(4), indicating that this compound will primarily exist with an overall positive charge in the environment and would be expected to have a low potential for bioconcentration(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in Soil: Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc for blastinidin-S can be estimated to be 1,500(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that blasticidin-S is expected to have low mobility in soil. Blasticidin-S has pKa1, pKa2, pKa3, and pKa4 of 2.4 (carboxylic acid), 4.6, 8.0, and >12.5 (amino groups), respectively(3), indicating that this compound will primarily exist with an overall positive charge in the environment, and cations generally adsorb to organic carbon and clay more strongly than their neutral counterparts(4).
