Cyst-Based Toxicity Tests : Comparison of the Sensitivity of the Acute Daphnia magna Test and Two Crustacean Microbiotests for Chemicals and Wastes
Abstract : This paper statistically evaluates the sensitivity of the acute Daphnia magna bioassay in comparison to that of two crustacean microbiotests : the Streptoxkit F and the Thamnotoxkit F, which make use of larvae of the anostracans Streptocephalus proboscideus and Thamnocephalus platyurus respectively, hatched from cysts. Regression equations were calculated for 146 data pairs, taken from ...

Cyst-Based Toxicity Tests. - XIV Application Of The Ostracod Solid Phase Microbiotest For Toxicity Monitoring Of River Sediments In Flanders (Belgium)
Abstract: In view of the need for rapid and low cost solid phase assays for contaminated sediments, a new 6 days “culture/maintenance free” microbiotest has been developed at the Laboratory for Biological Research in Aquatic Pollution at the Ghent University in Belgium, with the freshwater ostracod crustacean Heterocypris incongruens. The sensitivity of the Ostracodtoxkit FTM has ...
