ISO/AWI 11348-2

Water quality — Determination of the inhibitory effect of water samples on the light emission of Vibrio fischeri (Luminescent bacteria test) — Part 2: Method using liquid-dried bacteria

Scope

ISO 11348 describes three methods for determining the inhibition of the luminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio fischeri (NRRL B‑11177). ISO 11348-2:2007 specifies a method using liquid‑dried bacteria.
This method is applicable to:

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