Continuing education session for teachers of biology and environmental issues

"Contaminants in the environment: sources, distribution, effects"

In conjunction with research sponsored by the Ministry for the Economy of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a biotest (NORDUM-Biotest H) was developed at the NORDUM Institute from 1998 – 2000.

The principle of this biotest and its advantages

An organism that is tested displays adverse effects caused by toxins in the environment. The NORDUM-Biotest H shows the measured in water samples: toxins lower the ability, fermentation of yeast cells nutrients (unknown waste water) increase it. Yeast cells are safe and easy to handle, yet observing the effects on them is representative for the water itself.

Main foci:

Introducing yeast cell fermentation to test water damage
Using the experimental yeast testing set in school classes
Experimenting on the damages to the environment caused by daily substances.
