Effect of arsenic compounds on Vibrio fischeri light emission and butyrylcholinesterase activity
The effect of organic arsenic compounds and inorganic As(V) and As(III) on Vibrio fischeri luminescence and butyrylcholinesterase activity were evaluated using Microtox and microcalorimetric analysis. Organic ars...

Effect of Cadmium(II), Chromium(VI), and Arsenic(V) on Long-Term Viability- and Growth-Inhibition Assays Using Vibrio fischeri Marine Bacteria
As a complement to previous results obtained using the standard Microtox acute-toxicity test, which is based on measuring the rapid decrease of bioluminescence (5 to 30 minutes of exposure) in Vibrio fischeri bac...

Cultured Human Cells as Biological Detectors for Assessing Environmental Toxicity
The presented investigations were carried out in order to detect environmental pollutants using the HT29, HepG2 and A549 cultured human cells as biological sensors of toxicity. We measured the growth rate inhi...

Study of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) Ions Toxicity Using the Microtox Bacterial Bioassay
The Microtox® bioassay, based upon the fading of light emitted by the luminescent bacteria Vibrio fischeri when exposed to noxious substances, was used for studying the changes in speciation and the related chang...

Effect of pH on Arsenate and Arsenite Toxicity to Luminescent Bacteria (Vibrio fischeri)
Arsenic is an abundant metalloid and a dangerous pollutant when in solution under the arsenate or arsenite forms—As(V) and As(III), respectively. Since its biological effects are expected to depend on the oxid...
