Water quality — Determination of the inhibitory effect of water samples on the light emission of Aliivibrio fischeri (Luminescent bacteria test) — Part 1: Method using freshly prepared bacteria

ISO 11348 describes three methods for determining the inhibition of the luminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri (NRRL B‑11177). ISO 11348-1:2007 specifies a method using freshly prepared bacteria.

This method is applicable to:

• waste water;
• aqueous extracts and leachates;
• fresh water (surface and ground water);
• sea and brackish water;
• eluates of sediment (fresh water, brackish and sea water);
• pore water;
• single substances, diluted in water.
