Abstract
This review ofPhotobacterium phosphoreumtoxicity bioassay, commonly known as the MicrotoxTMtests, consists of two parts. The first part, I. Test Procedures and Applications, is a selective literature review which describes the principle, methodology, experimental conditions and procedures, and the applications of the MicrotoxTMtest. It includes a list of relevant references and tables showing comparisons of Microtox test results with those of various other acute toxicity assays for selected compounds and complex industrial effluents. The second part of this review deals with toxicity data compilation.Keywords
