Table 3 EC₁₀ and EC₅₀ values [mg/kg] of the silver nanomaterial NM-300K for the inhibition of the enzymes glucosidase and arylsulfatase

From: Evaluation of microbial shifts caused by a silver nanomaterial: comparison of four test systems

Day	Glucosidase		Arylsulfatase
Day	EC₁₀ [mg/kg]^a	EC₅₀ [mg/kg]^a	EC₁₀ [mg/kg]^a	EC₅₀ [mg/kg]^a
7	nd^b	2.02 [0.15–26.92]	nd	7.01 [2.30–21.36]
14	nd	nd	0.19 [0.01–0.58]	14.46 [6.82–81.19]
28	1.07 [0.11–9.90]	22.29 [8.18–60.70]	0.31 [0.00–1.02]	8.86 [3.97–67.01]

^aValues in brackets indicate 95% confidence limit
^bnd, not determinable due to data quality or not plausible (e.g., considerably outside the range of test concentrations)
