- Abstract
The article cites a study where the microcosm and its pure-culture systems were exposed to manganese to examine whether the microcosm responds to toxic agents at the community level. Microcosms are experimental ecosystems constructed in the laboratory and are expected to make it possible to evaluate ecotoxicity at the community level. Microcosm toxicity tests are therefore appearing in the literature in increasing numbers and the several protocols have been drafted. However, most microcosms are too complex to screen ecotoxicity of enormous chemicals. Researchers therefore tried to apply a simple aquatic microcosm to ecotoxicity screening.
