• Description: The present study represents the first broader evaluation of the rapid 30-s kinetic bioluminescence assay with Vibrio fisheri (microplate format modification) for contact toxicity testing of whole sediments. It focused on river sediments from the Morava River basin, Czech Republic, repeatedly sampled during 2005 to 2006.
