Biological Test Method: Reference Method for Determining the Toxicity of Sediment Using Luminescent Bacteria in a Solid-Phase Test


A reference method for measuring the toxicity of samples of whole sediment under controlled and defined laboratory conditions is described in this report. It uses luminescent bacteria (Vibrio fischeri) as the test organism and inhibition of light production by the bacteria in a solid-phase test as the biological endpoint. This reference method follows and is built upon the generic (multipurpose) biological test method "Toxicity Test Using Luminescent Bacteria (Photobacterium phosphoreum)" published previously by Environment Canada (1992, EPS 1/RM/24).
