5200 |a"Bacteria and enzymes are sensitive sensors of chemical toxicity since they respond quickly to changes in their environment. This report briefly reviews many of the enzyme and bacterial growth tests which have been developed for monitoring or screening toxicants in water and effluents. Compared to fish bioassays, these tests are rapid, inexpensive, relatively reproducible. The document provides a succinct summary of available technology suitable for the development of a biomonitoring component of the national water quality monitoring program"--Management perspective.
