Abstract

This study shows the possibility of applying the complex bioassay of water to determine the degree of its toxicity under conditions of microbiological contamination. The toxic effect of microorganisms (Candida albicans) at their density 1 × 102 CFU/cm3 was detected on fish cells using the micronucleus test method. The possible mechanisms of toxic effect of enhanced microbial contamination of water on animal and plant test-organisms have been studied.
