Advancing Biodegradability Assessment Through AI

Models

Existing machine learning models built at Aropha, mainly covering biodegradation of organic contaminant in aquatic environment. New models are continuously added.

Aerobic biodegradation in water

Aerobic biodegradation -- regression

Predicts continuous biodegradation percentages in 28 days of incubation, based on more than 4,000 data points considering ready biodegradation in water. Multiple standard guidelines were included such as OECD 301 and EU method C.

Aerobic biodegradation in water

Aerobic biodegradation -- classification

Predicts if an organic contaminant is readily biodegradable (pass 60% of degradation in 28 days), based on more than 3,000 data points considering ready biodegradation in water. Data covers multiple standard guidelines and test principles.

Datasets

The datasets used for the development of above models

Aerobic biodegradation regression

Containing over 4,000 data points and SMILES strings, guideline (e.g., OECD 301F), principle (e.g., closed respirometer), and reliability (e.g., 1 or 2) as the inputs. The biodegradation percentages are the output.

Aerobic biodegradation classification

Containing over 3,000 data points with SMILES strings as the inputs and the class (0 or 1) as the output. Only ready biodegradation data with time of 28 and principles of closed bottle test, closed respirometer, and CO2 evolution were considered.

Sample Python Code
