Abstract
The feasibility of using traditional growth media for biological testing of metal species, for example as potential microbiocides, was investigated. Significant interactions between both of the representative metal species, Cu2+ and FeEDTA, and the test media were found. It is recommended that the use of growth media for tests on metal species should be avoided.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
