English Abstract
The use of the classical microbial toxicity tests gives an underestimation of the sensitivity of the microflora. The inhibition of a large fraction of the microbial community can be seemingly compensated by the growth of the resistant species. Our method uses low substrate concentrations which are representative for the environmental conditions. This method is fast, sensitive and more ecologically relevant than the classical tests.
