Review report for the active substance Bacillus subtilis QST 713

Finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health at its meeting on 14 July 2006 in view of the inclusion of Bacillus subtilis in Annex I of Directive 91/414/EEC.

1. Procedure followed for the evaluation process

This review report has been established as a result of the evaluation of the new active substance Bacillus subtilis strain QST 713 (hereafter "Bacillus subtilis"), made in the context of the work provided for in Articles 5 and 6 of Directive 91/414/EEC concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market, with a view to the possible inclusion of this substance in Annex I to the Directive.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 6(2) of Directive 91/414/EEC, the German authorities received on 19 April 2000 an application from AgraQuest, hereafter referred to as the applicant, for the inclusion of the active substance Bacillus subtilis in Annex I to the Directive. The German authorities indicated to the Commission on 28 May 2000 the results of a first examination of the completeness of the dossier, with regard to the data and information requirements provided for in Annex II and, for at least one plant protection product containing the active substance concerned, in Annex III to the Directive. Subsequently, and in accordance with the requirements of Article 6(2), a dossier on Bacillus subtilis was distributed to the Member States and the Commission.

The Commission referred the dossier to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health in the meeting of the working group ‘legislation’ thereof on 01 September 2000, during which the Member States confirmed the receipt of the dossier.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 6(3), which requires the confirmation at Community level that the dossier is to be considered as satisfying, in principle, the data and information requirements provided for in Annex II and, for at least one plant protection product containing the active substance concerned, in Annex III to the Directive and in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 20 of the Directive, the Commission confirmed in its Decision 2001/6/EC 1 of 12 December 2000 that these requirements were satisfied.

Within the framework of that decision and with a view to the further organisation of the work related to the detailed examination of the dossier provided for in Article 6(2) and (4) of Directive 91/414/EEC, it was agreed between the Member States and the Commission that Germany, as rapporteur Member State and Sweden, as co-rapporteur Member State, would carry out the detailed examination of the dossier and report the conclusions of the examination accompanied by any recommendations on the inclusion or non-inclusion and any conditions relating thereto, to the Commission as soon as possible and at the latest within a period of one year.

Germany submitted to the Commission on 15 May 2001 the report of its detailed scientific examination, hereafter referred to as the draft assessment report, including, as required, a recommendation concerning the possible inclusion of Bacillus subtilis in Annex I to the Directive.

On receipt of the draft assessment report, the Commission forwarded it for consultation to all the Member States as well as to AgraQuest being the sole applicant on 23 July 2001.

Further discussion between the Rapporteur Member State and the Co-rapporteur Member State were organised, to review the draft assessment report and the comments received thereon in particular on each of the following disciplines :

- identity and biological properties ;- fate and behaviour in the environment ;- ecotoxicology ;- mammalian toxicology ;- residues and analytical methods ;- regulatory questions. The report of the peer review (i.e. full report) was circulated, for further consultation, to Member States and the sole applicant on 14 October 2003.

The dossier, draft assessment report and the peer review report (i.e. full report) including in particular an outline resumé of the remaining technical questions, were referred to the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, and specialised working groups of this Committee, for final examination, with participation of experts from all Member States. This final

examination took place from March 2003 to July 2006, and was finalised in the meeting of the Standing Committee on 14 July 2006.

The present review report contains the conclusions of this final examination; given the importance of the (revised) draft assessment report, the peer review report (i.e. full report) and the comments and clarifications submitted after the peer review as basic information for the final examination process, these documents are considered respectively as background documents A, B and C to this review report and are part of it.

The review of Bacillus subtilis did not reveal any open questions or concerns, which would have required a consultation of the Scientific Committee on Plants or of the European Food Safety Authority which has taken over the role of that Committee.

2. Purposes of this review report

This review report, including the background documents and appendices thereto, have been developed and finalised in support of the Directive 2007/6/EC concerning the inclusion of Bacillus subtilis in Annex I to Directive 91/414/EEC, and to assist the Member States in decisions on individual plant protection products containing Bacillus subtilis they have to take in accordance with the provisions of that Directive, and in particular the provisions of article 4(1) and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VI.

This review report provides also for the evaluation required under Section A.2.(b) of the above mentioned uniform principles, as well as under several specific sections of part B of these principles. In these sections it is provided that Member States, in evaluating applications and granting authorisations, shall take into account the information concerning the active substance in Annex II of the directive, submitted for the purpose of inclusion of the active substance in Annex I, as well as the result of the evaluation of those data.

In parallel with the provisions of Article 7(6) of Regulation 3600/92 for existing active substances, the Commission and the Member States will keep available or make available this review report for consultation by any interested parties or will make it available to them on their specific request. Moreover the Commission will send a copy of this review report (not including the background documents) to the applicant.

The information in this review report is, at least partly, based on information which is confidential and/or protected under the provisions of Directive 91/414/EEC. It is therefore recommended that this review report would not be accepted to support any registration outside the context of Directive 91/414/EEC, e.g. in third countries, for which the applicant has not demonstrated possession of regulatory access to the information on which this review report is based.

3. Overall conclusion in the context of Directive 91/414/EEC

The overall conclusion from the evaluation is that it may be expected that plant protection products containing Bacillus subtilis will fulfil the safety requirements laid down in Article 5(1)(a) and (b) of Directive 91/414/EEC. This conclusion is however subject to compliance with the particular requirements in sections 4, 5, 6 and 7 of this report, as well as to the implementation of the provisions of Article 4(1) and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VIB of Directive 91/414/EEC, for each Bacillus subtilis containing plant protection product for which Member States will grant or review the authorisation.

Furthermore, these conclusions were reached within the framework of the uses which were proposed and supported by the sole data submitter and mentioned in the list of uses supported by available data (attached as Appendix IV to this Review Report).

Extension of the use pattern beyond those described above will require an evaluation at Member State level in order to establish whether the proposed extensions of use can satisfy the requirements of Article 4(1) and of the uniform principles laid down in Annex VIB of Directive 91/414/EEC.

Given the results of the evaluation of the information submitted for ecotoxicology, particular conditions have been provided for as explained in section 6 of this report, which need short term attention from the Member States when granting new authorisations or varying existing provisional authorisations.

4. Identity and biological properties

The main properties of Bacillus subtilis are given in Appendix I.

The review has established that for the active substance notified by the applicant (AgraQuest), none of the manufacturing impurities considered are, on the basis of information currently available, of toxicological or environmental concern.

5. Endpoints and related information

In order to facilitate Member States, in granting or reviewing authorisations, to apply adequately the provisions of Article 4(1) of Directive 91/414/EEC and the uniform principles laid down in Annex VIB of that Directive, the most important end points as identified during the evaluation process are listed in Appendix II.

6. Particular conditions to be taken into account on short term basis by Member States in relation to the granting of authorisations of plant protection products containing Bacillus subtilis

On the basis of the proposed and supported uses, no particular issues have been identified as requiring short term attention from the Member States.

7. List of studies to be generated

No further studies were identified which were considered at this stage, and under the current inclusion conditions necessary in relation to the inclusion of Bacillus subtilis in Annex I.

8. Information on studies with claimed data protection

For information of any interested parties, Appendix III gives information about the studies for which the applicant has claimed data protection and which are not present in the original dossier neither mentioned in the draft report. This information is only given to facilitate the operation of the provisions of Article 13 of Directive 91/414/EEC in the Member States. It is based on the best information available to the Commission services at the time this review report was prepared; but it does not prejudice any rights or obligations of Member States or operators with regard to its uses in the implementation of the provisions of Article 13 of the Directive 91/414/EEC neither does it commit the Commission.

9. Updating of this review report

The technical information in this report may require periodic updating to take account of technical and scientific developments as well as of the results of the examination of any information referred to the Commission in the framework of Articles 7, 10 or 11 of Directive 91/414/EEC. Such adaptations will be examined and finalised in the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, in connection with any amendment of the inclusion conditions for Bacillus subtilis in Annex I of the Directive.

Bacillus subtilis APPENDIX I

Identity and biological properties

23 May 2006

APPENDIX I

IDENTITY AND BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES

BACILLUS SUBTILIS

Intended Uses: Biocontrol of plant pathogenic fungi in viticulture and horticulture

Known or new organism: Bacterium Bacillus subtilis (Cohn 1872)

GMO No

Taxonomy: The genus Bacillus belongs to the family Bacillaceae among the group gram-positive eubacteria.

Species, subspecies, strain: Strain QST 713, identical with strain AQ 713

Culture collection N° NRRL B -21661

Identification / detection: Using the available morphological, physiological and biochemical data, the strain QST 713 was clearly identified as Bacillus subtilis. Besides the basically relevant positive Catalase reaction inherent to all Bacillus species, further biochemical key parameters identifying strain QST 713 as B. subtilis are e.g.: positive Voges-Proskauer reaction and growth in 7 % NaCl. Strain discrimination of Bacillus subtilis QST 713 is possible by ribotyping.

Methods of analysis: The species is identified by microscopy using classical morphological (cellular and colonial morphology) criteria and by using physiological and biochemical criteria.

Mode of action: The mode of action of B. subtilis is fungistatic and fungitoxic by disruption of hyphae following contact with the fungal pathogen at the leaf surface. Besides antagonism nutrient competition is involved in the mode of action and more importantly B. subtilis induces systemic resistance response of the plant, indicated by enhanced peroxidase production.

Bacillus subtilis APPENDIX I

Identity and biological properties

23 May 2006

Life cycle: All spore-formers, including members of the Genus Bacillus, undergo a cycle consisting of several discernible phases: germination, outgrowth, multiplication, and sporulation. The primary cell formed at the end of outgrowth can, under some conditions, such as insufficient nutrients, divide asymmetrically and proceed directly to sporulation or, in time of favourable conditions, such as sufficient nutrients, can divide symmetrically and proceed through many divisions before sporulating.

The endospore plays a dominant role in the biology and the life-cycle of B. subtilis and relatives. It is a dormant structure which enables the micro-organism to survive when environmental conditions turn unfavourable for vegetative growth and is a vehicle for dispersal by dust and air streams, as it is easily blown up. The global distribution of Bacillus spp. may largely be derived from the endospore-forming capability. Basically the endospore is the most heat tolerant bacterial life-form, enduring temperatures >80°C or even >100°C. The endospore does not present an obligate stage in the life-cycle, vegetative growth by cell-division may be predominant - or even the norm, unless e.g. lack of nutrients occurs. In a dry state endospores can remain viable for several years.

Host specificity: B. subtilis is not characterised by a distinct host specificity since growth is not dependant upon a host but upon supply with decomposable organic matter. Moreover the endospore is prevalent in all environmental compartments and B. subtilis is not geographically restricted.

Known opportunist: B. subtilis is considered an opportunist with no pathogenic potential. In some cases B. subtilis was isolated from surgical wounds or tumour drainages; only highly immunosuppressed patients were reported to have suffered from dissipating infections.

Toxin production: B. subtilis produces different exo-enzymes contributing to the decay of organic matter. The extracellular enzyme subtilisin is known to elicit allergic or hypersensitive reactions in individuals repeatedly exposed to it however its toxigenic properties are assessed to be very low. B. subtilis does not produce significant quantities of extracellular enzymes or toxins and is generally considered to have a low degree of virulence to humans.

Resistance: Up to now there is no indication of decreasing efficacy of the Bacillus subtilis strain in SerenadeTM WP against fungal pathogens to be controlled. The mode of action of strain QST 713 of Bacillus subtilis has been demonstrated to rely on a broader base than single site action, since it includes diverging mechanisms not easily to overcome by pathogens. The risk on the occurrence of development of resistance is to be classified as low.

Bacillus subtilis APPENDIX I

Identity and biological properties

23 May 2006

Resting stages: The endospore of B. subtilis is a dormant structure which enables the micro-organism to survive when environmental conditions turn unfavourable for vegetative growth and is a vehicle for dispersal by dust and air streams, as it is easily blown up.

Production control: Each ”seed” (liquid media with suspended cells) transfer is checked for purity both microscopically and by streak plating. The completed fermentation material (broth) of each fermentation run (batch) is tested by counts of colony forming units (cfu) of B. subtilis, microscopic examination, optical density and is tested for contaminants by plating analysis, esp. with regard to human pathogens. Content of cfu and contaminants may additionally be determined for the Technical Powder. The test results showed no detectable levels of human pathogens or other contaminants.

Hazard to the environment

Impact on non-targets: Different studies have shown, that populations of B. subtilis are influenced by biotic environmental factors. Introduced B. subtilis populations are subject to competition by the indigenous microflora (bacteria and fungi) and may also be affected by infectious agents like phages. As a result, high initial population numbers resulting from application of Bacillus subtilis will decline and reach a natural equilibrium.

A 5-day acute oral toxicity and pathogenicity test with bobwhite quail showed that QST 713 technical has a low toxicity to birds. The LD50 is >5000 mg/kg/d equivalent to >1011 cfu/kg/d. There is no evidence of pathogenicity or replication of the QST 713 strain of Bacillus subtilis for birds; the same is true for mammals. Thus the intended use of Bacillus subtilis should not pose a risk to terrestrial vertebrates.Bacillus subtilis QST 713 TP is of low toxicity to aquatic organisms. In addition to that no signs of infectivity were observed in the histological investigations. O. mykiss LC50; 4d: 1.4 x 107 cfu/mLD.magna NOEC21 d: 7.9 x 105 cfu/mLP. pugio NOEC30d 3.7 x 106 cfu/mL

No evidence of toxicity of Bacillus subtilis QST 713 to honeybees at doses applied at practical use ;5-day-Dietary LC50: ~ 8900 ppm equivalent to ~ 1.8 x 108 cfu/mL diet.

Bacillus subtilis has no unacceptable influence on non-target arthropods, represented by species of two ecological groups.

2 Exposure assessment and risk evaluation

Operator exposure

Application method: FCTM, HCTM, HCHH

Operator exposure models: In relation to the results of the available acute toxicity studies, sufficient margins of safety exist (calculation on the basis of cfu / German model)

Exposure of the environment

Natural occurrence, background level:

B. subtilius is a ubiquitous -not geographically restricted- inhabitant of the soil, from which it is spread to associated environments, including plants and plant materials (straw, composts), foods (cereals, esp. dried spices), animals and their faeces (by ingestion of spores) and is also naturally found in aquatic environments (fresh water, estuarine and coastal waters). Although B. subtilis is commonly found in soil it occurs in almost any environment, including niches in kitchen and bathrooms.The magnitude of occurrence of B. subtilis in the soil is not definitely stated in the supplied literature. Indications for their general prevalence can be derived from high levels of presumably soil-born Bacillus spp. spores in straw approaching 105 cfu/g, and from the high numbers of Bacillus spp. found in coastal waters (where they constitute up to 20 % of total bacterial population) and from the major contribution of their endospores in estuarine and coastal sediments (achieving up to 80 % of the heterotrophic flora).

Application method: Spraying

Post release control: Not required

Consumer exposure

Residues: Residues of B. subtilis strain QST 713 on crops, feedingstuffs or foodstuffs are not expected at relevant concentrations:- With regard to its natural global distribution and non-pathogenic character B. subtilis cells left on the surface of treated areas or plant products do not imply health or environmental impacts.- B. subtilis has been used for enzyme production on a large industrial scale, and is even used for food production without having caused health or environmental hazards or damages.- B. subtilis does not produce toxins.- B. subtilis has no special attachment ability to plants or plant products, i.e. there is no compatibility comparable to host-pathogen interactions.- The unfavourable environmental conditions prevailing on the leaf surface and the dependence of B. subtilis on organic matter supply are restricting its growth. In addition, in processing of raw products no growth or sporulation of B. subtilis is expected to occur.
