eng	The Use of an Algal Microbiotest to Assess the Toxicity of Degradation Product after Herbicide Photocatalysis	Our work deals with the development and optimization of alternative tests on freshwater algae. The algal microbiotest is a miniaturized form of the classical algal bioassay, where microtiter plates are used instead of Erlenmeyer flasks. This significantly reduces the consumption of culture media, but above all limits the required amount of test sample. The test makes it possible to monitor not only the inhibitory (toxic) effects of substances, but also the stimulating effects, so-called trophic level. Due to the rapid growth of algae, it is possible to observe, in addition to the acute action, also the chronic effects of the tested substances (even for more than 96 hours).
