The Luminescent Bacteria Test to Determine the Acute Toxicity of Nanoparticle Suspensions

Ana García, Sonia Recillas, Antoni Sánchez, Xavier Font

Abstract

Luminescent bacteria, Vibrio fischeri, is used in an ecotoxicological test to determine toxicity of water samples. In comparison to other ecotoxicological tests, the use of luminescent bacteria reports final toxicity values in a short time (minutes). Luminescent toxicity test can be used to determine toxicity of nanoparticles suspensions.
