Sensitive and simple ecotoxicological bioassays like seed germination and root elongation tests are commonly used to evaluate the phytotoxicity of waste and industrial discharge waters. Although the tests are performed following national and international standards, various parameters such as the number of seeds per dish, the test duration or the type of support used remain variable. To be able to make a correct comparison of results from different studies, it is crucial to know which parameter(s) could affect ecotoxicological diagnosis. We tested four different control waters and three seed densities. No significant differences on either germination rate or root elongation endpoints were shown. Nevertheless, we found that the four lettuce cultivars (Appia, batavia dorée de printemps, grosse blonde paresseuse, and Kinemontepas) showed significantly different responses when watered with the same and different metal-loaded industrial discharge water. From the comparison, it is clear that a differential sensitivity scale occurs among not just species but cultivars.

Les bio-essais écotoxicologiques simples comme les tests de germination et d’élongation sont fréquemment utilisés pour évaluer la phytotoxicité de rejets industriels. Si ces tests sont réalisés selon des standards nationaux et internationaux, de nombreux paramètres (nombre de graines, durée du test, type de support…) varient. Afin de comparer correctement les résultats tirés de différentes études, il est indispensable de savoir précisément quel(s) paramètre(s) pourrai(en)t affecter le diagnostic écotoxicologique. Nous avons testé quatre eaux de contrôle et trois abondances de graines : aucune différence significative du taux de germination ou d’élongation des plantules n’a été mise en évidence. Néanmoins, nous avons montré que les quatre variétés de laitue testées (Appia, batavia dorée de printemps, grosse blonde paresseuse and Kinemontepas) présentaient des différences de réponse écotoxicologique, après avoir été mises en contact avec le même rejet industriel. Il apparaît clairement que les différences de sensibilité sont interspécifiques, mais également intraspécifiques.

1 Introduction

Surface treatment (ST) is a very important industrial sector in Europe and in France, Franche-Comté is especially concerned. ST industry supplies a great variety of products for various industrial and domestic sectors including the motor, building, electronic, military and also clothing industries. However, their activities are energy- and water-consuming as well as highly chemically polluting. Indeed, ST is well known to be one of the largest consumers of chemicals (toxic metals known to be harmful to humans and to the environment in particular) and to generate large amounts of toxic waste water with a complex composition [1]. The main pollutants are metal ions such as Cr(III), Cr(VI), Zn, Sn, Cu, Ni, Ag and Fe, organic substances such as chloroform and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, and other non-metallic pollutants such as cyanide, boron, and fluoride. Despite the efforts made to clean up their polycontaminated effluents, most commonly by physicochemical treatment [2], industry and scientists are confronted with a great challenge: to remove the entire load of organic and inorganic pollutants to assess their ecotoxicological effects and hence move towards zero pollution discharge [3,4]. While pollutant mixtures present in discharge water after treatment are relatively easy to characterize chemically, assessing their impact on the environment is usually difficult [2]: over the past few decades, ecotoxicological methods have been developed to complete chemical analysis [5].

Bioassays are widely carried out following national and international recommendations. Some very different organisms are commonly used in ecotoxicological bio-monitoring: primary producers (algae, i.e. Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata [6]), primary consumers (aquatic invertebrates, i.e. Daphnia magna, Gammarus pulex [7]) or secondary consumers (aquatic vertebrates, i.e. Gambusia holbrooki [8]). Less frequently used in comparison with faunal tests [9], toxicity studies using higher plants have however increased in recent years [11,12]. Ratsch and Johndro [13] first concluded that the inhibition of root elongation (RE) is a valid and sensitive indicator of environmental toxicity. Several articles [10,14–20] have since shown that phytotoxicity tests like seed germination rate (GR) and RE tests present many advantages as summarized in Table 1. These bioassays are simple, inexpensive and only require a relatively small amount of sample. Moreover, the seeds remain usable for a long time. The most common plant species recommended by, among others, the US Environmental Protection Agency [21], the US Food and Drug Administration [22], and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development [23] are cucumber Cucumis sativus, lettuce Lactuca sativa L., radish Raphanus spp L., red clover Trifolium pratense L., and wheat Triticum aestivum. Previous studies [20,24] compared some of these species and recommended L. sativa as a bioindicator to determine the toxicity of soil and water samples.

Haugland and Brandsaeter [25] previously studied the effects of various procedures and conditions on bioassay sensitivity in allelopathic studies. They pointed out that the lack of real standardized bioassays makes comparison between studies very difficult. It is nowadays in fact the proceedings that are not standardized: even when phytotoxicological bioassays using lettuce are performed in accordance with national or international standards, multiple parameters remain variable (Table 2). Di Salvatore [10], studying synthetic solutions containing metal ions, found that lettuce GR and RE were not affected by substrate, agar agar vs. filter paper. However, there is no literature comparing the parameters used of industrial effluent, as that of the ST industry.

The present study is based on the assessment that proceeding parameters could affect the ecotoxicity diagnosis. Indeed, we tested three of the most variable parameters, using GR, root and total lengths as end points: control water quality, number of seeds per germination dish and lettuce cultivar.

2 Material and methods

2.1 Industrial discharge waters

During this study, discharge waters were once collected in three different surface treatment companies (denoted Co1, Co2 and Co3) in the Franche-Comté region. Effluent samples were collected at the outlet of the decontamination station of each company. The main activities of each company and the related major environmental concerns are reported in Table 3. The table also shows the concentration threshold in discharge for key pollutants. Table 4 shows the characteristics of the samples studied here, taken from three different surface treatment companies (Co1S1, Co2S1 and Co3S1). The effluents are average samples, characteristic of daily activity. Each treated water sample was tested following the same concentration range: 25, 50, 75 and 100%. All dilutions were prepared in Reverse Osmosis Water (ROW).

2.2 Lettuce seeds

Four lettuce (L. sativa L.) cultivars were germinated: Appia (A), batavia dorée de printemps (B), grosse blonde paresseuse (GBP) and Kinemontepas (K). They were chosen among the 1500 or so commercially available cultivars. The seeds (Caillard, Avignon, France) were all kept under laboratory conditions, in the dark and shielded from large modifications of temperature and moisture [1].

2.3 Control and toxicity test

Germination rates for samples were evaluated using the French normalized method ISO 17126 [31]. Tests were conducted using 100 × 15 mm disposable plastic Petri dishes and two layers of filter paper. Thirty plump undamaged seeds of almost identical size were laid on the filter paper in each dish, which contained 4 mL of industrial discharge water (pH ∼ 8.4). Each condition was tested in triplicate. All dishes were kept in the dark, at 24 ± 1 °C, for seven days of exposure. As recommended by the normalized method [31], a control test with distilled water was performed in triplicate for every condition tested. Multiple parameters were tested as described in Table 5. After seven days, germinated seeds were counted (GR) using equation (1) (where GSS is the number of Germinated Seeds in the Sample and GSC the number of Germinated Seeds in the Control) and plantlet growth measured (root and total lengths; RL and TL; the total length refers to the root and hypocotyl of the plantlets).

GR = \frac{GSS}{GSC}

Quality of water	Distilled water DW (pH 7.3)
	Mineral water Evian®, E (pH 7.2)

	30
Cultivar of lettuce	var. Appia (A)
Lactuca sativa	var. batavia dorée de printemps (B)
	var. grosse blonde paresseuse (GBP)
	var. Kinemontepas (K)

As recommended by the normalized method [31], GR under 90% is unacceptable for control conditions. Control water pH did not skew germination test results as long as it remained between 5.5 and 9.5.

2.4 Statistical analysis

All homoscedasticities were tested using a Bartlett test as prerequisite for parametric test. The GRs were compared using the Chi² test and lengths (root and total) using Kruskal–Wallis tests, with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. All statistical analyses were performed with R (2.15.1) (R Development Core Team, 2013, www.r-project.org).

Dose-dependent curves and EC₅₀ values were calculated with Hill's model using the macro Excel Regtox free version EV 7.0.6.

Germination Index (GI) [32–35] were used to assess the response variability between lettuce cultivars. Calculations of these indexes were performed using the equations (2) where RLS is the Root Length of the Sample, RLC the Root Length of the Control.

GI = \frac{RLS \times GSS}{RLC \times GSC}

3 Results and discussion

3.1 Control water

Four kinds of water (distilled, mineral, reverse osmosis, and ultra pure) were used as controls. Table 6 reports the relative data of GR and RL of seeds watered with the different control waters. The assay was performed on the same cultivar of lettuce L. sativa. The results showed that neither GR nor root length showed significant differences. For practical reasons, the control water chosen was ROW.

Table 6

	E	UPW	ROW	DW	P value
GR (%)	100	99 ± 1.6	98 ± 3.1	94 ± 1.6	0.067
RL (mm)	14.28 ± 4.47	14.64 ± 5.99	17.80 ± 9.11	14.44 ± 5.79	0.147
TL (mm)	63.14 ± 4.20	61.33 ± 6.26	65.21 ± 6.18	67.73 ± 1.16	0.441

We synchronically tested the potential ecotoxicological differences between the four cultivars watered with ROW. Results (Table 7) showed no statistical GR or RL differences between the different cultivars. Total lengths appeared to be different, especially Appia's total length from the three others. Differential cultivar total length was attributed intrinsic natural differences as far as root lengths were not significantly different.

Table 7

	A	B	K	GBP	P value
GR (%)	95 ± 4.1	96 ± 2.9	93 ± 3.9	96 ± 3.4	0.357
RL (mm)	16.20 ± 5.40	25.70 ± 9.49	28.07 ± 8.16	24.49 ± 9.91	0.08
TL (mm)	57.49 ± 10.56	71.50 ± 14.55	81.05 ± 12.86	74.27 ± 15.02	0.02

3.2 Number of seeds per dish

Three seed densities (15, 20 and 30 seeds per dish; ROW) were tested, using the same lettuce cultivar (var. B). The results for the three bioassay endpoints are detailed in Table 8. It can be seen that there was no significant difference between GR (100%; 95%; 98%) and both root (17.5; 18.5; 17.8 mm) and total (62; 71; 65.4 mm) length of the plantlet grown in dishes containing 15, 20, and 30 seeds, respectively.

Table 8

Number of seeds	GR (%)	RL (mm)	TL (mm)	P value
15	100	17.5 ± 8.5	62 ± 12.7
20	95 ± 4	18.5 ± 5.75	71 ± 8.75	> 0.05
30	98 ± 3	17.8 ± 9.1	65.4 ± 16.8

Weidenhamer et al. [36] reported that the number of seeds relative to the solution volume used in a seed germination bioassay was a factor in the results obtained as the amount of ferulic acid available to each seed influenced germination, rather than chemical concentration of the tested solution. It seems that there is not such a consensus about the effect of seed number on length: some report a correlation (e.g., [37]) and some do not (e.g., [38]). Our results show that for a 4 mL sample, the number of seeds (15 to 30 seeds) did not affect either germination or elongation. For practical reasons, the number of seeds per dish was fixed at 20.

3.3 Seed cultivar

Bioassays were conducted using a sample of raw discharge water, taken from three different surface treatment companies (Co1S1, Co2S1 and Co3S1). The characteristics of the samples are reported in Table 4. Fig. 1 shows the four different dose–response curves of the four lettuce cultivars watered with Co1S1. It can be seen that when watered with the same effluent sample, the four cultivars did not show the same ecotoxicological response. This was confirmed by the results described in Table 9, which presents the GR and GI values for every diluted sample assessed on the four lettuce cultivars, and the EC₅₀ values for every sample. GR decreased with all the four raw samples. The intensity of the decrease depends on the sample (e.g., var B's GR varied from 45 ± 4.1 to 93 ± 2.4%). Indeed, Charles et al. [1] showed that lettuce ecotoxicological response variability can be linked with the chemical composition of the samples, which varies on a daily basis (Table 4). Differences between GRs were significant: for example, values for undiluted Co1S1 were 2 ± 2.4%, 45 ± 4.1%, 0% and 20 ± 8.2% for var A, var B, var GBP and var K, respectively (Fig. 1). The same observation was made considering all the tested samples and EC₅₀s (Table 4). After comparing GR and EC₅₀ values, var A was found to be the most sensitive cultivar, vars K and GBP medium, and var B the most resistant to the three effluents tested. This was confirmed by comparing the GR/EC₅₀ sensitive scale with the GIs sensitive scale.

		A	0.49	0.42	0.32	0.23
		GBP	1.32	0.92	0.68	0.49

Although GR (lethal endpoint) is the most commonly used endpoint, it is not the most sensitive [39]: root length (sublethal endpoint) has often proved to be a more sensitive parameter, but not as easy to measure as germination. This is the reason why GI, first defined to assess compost toxicity [32], combines advantageously relative seed germination and RE measurements, generating an objective sensitivity scale, here: B > K > GBP > A, where the Appia cultivar is the most sensitive of the four.

Toxicity and ecotoxicity depend on the bioassay indicator and the endpoints considered [40]. Differences in sensitivity of plant species to various pollutants have been demonstrated [10,41–43]. Wang and Freekmark [17] reviewed and concluded that sensitivity varies among toxicants and taxonomic groups and species. The choice of the bioindicator variety has already been showed for species like potato or wheat. Beside the risk of toxicity underestimation when only one bioassay is used [44], Cairns and Pratt [45] concluded that the potential difference in results from one species to another may affect the extrapolation accuracy.

4 Conclusion

This study demonstrated that among multiple variable germination and elongation test proceeding parameters, control water quality and seeds density did not affect neither lettuce GR nor root or total lengths. However, when sensitivity differences among species are well known, it appears that the cultivar has a major effect in the assessment of discharge water toxicity: we suggest choosing carefully the bioindicator cultivar, and maybe carrying out rapid tests among multiple cultivar. It would be interesting in further investigations to determine which physiological phenomena (e.g., metal uptake) are different, and can explain the ecotoxicological differences observed.
