The toxicity of 14 organotin compounds was investigated by means of two short-term in vitro bioassays, the submitochondrial particle (SMP) test and the Microtox test. The first bioassay makes use of SMPs and is based on the effects of toxicants on reverse electron transport, which is induced by aden
A rapid bioassay for monitoring acute toxicity of wastewater, ground water, and soil and sediment extracts using submitochondrial particles (SMP) has been developed. The assay utilizes the mitochondrial electron transfer enzyme complex, present in all eukaryotic cells. Prior developmental work with
