| 1. | Common test organisms include, but are not limited to, daphnia, fathead minnow, rainbow trout, and mussels.
|
| 2. | Many vitamins and minerals are vital for the correct function of cells in the test organism.
|
| 3. | To perform the OF-glucose test, two tubes of OF-glucose medium are inoculated with the test organism.
|
| 4. | The test organisms are exposed for 48 hours under static conditions with five concentrations of the effluent.
|
| 5. | Many of these methods use the same test organism or are designed for the same exposure time.
|
| 6. | Often pilot studies are utilized to assist in the selection of the appropriate test organism and end points.
|
| 7. | The rapid growth of duckweeds finds application in bioremediation of polluted waters and as test organisms for environmental studies.
|
| 8. | The researchers, headed by Dr . E . Peter Greenberg of Iowa, used the Pseudomas microbe as their test organism.
|
| 9. | To conduct such a screen, isolates of many different microorganisms are diffusible products that inhibit the growth of test organisms.
|
| 10. | On the other hand, they may require considerable time and labour, and the number of test organisms is often relatively limited.
