The purpose of the laboratories is to transfer theoretical knowledge in the field of ecotoxicology into practice.
Students will learn to perform selected ecotoxicological tests on organisms of different trophic levels (decomposers, producers, and consumers) of aquatic and terrestrial environments, methods of evaluation and statistical evaluation of the obtained results and their subsequent interpretation.

Teamwork: students will work in groups on assignments according to the instructions. Discussion: Within the group they will actively divide the work, consult the solution process among themselves and with the teacher. Laboratory techniques: They will continuously learn different ecotoxicological procedures and techniques as well as methods of evaluation. Analysis of results: they will then process and interpret the data obtained in protocols, which they will continuously submit and consult with the teacher. Project-based learning: in the final phase of the labs, they will solve a case study in which they will capitalize on the experiences of the previous assignments.

A condition for obtaining credit is the preparation of laboratory reports from individual laboratory tasks and their submission by the specified deadline. The classification is based on the way of work in class, the quality of the reports and their timely submission. Last update: Mocová Klára Anna (23.04.2025)

1. Preparation of liquid and solid media for toxicity tests. 2. Rearing and culture of model organisms: handling, observation and transplantation of cultures. 3. Working under sterile conditions. Basic microscopy techniques. 4. Determination of toxicity of chemicals: choice of concentration series, application of substances to liquid and solid media. 5. Determination of toxicity of mixed and real samples: sample preparation, leaching. 6. Toxicity tests with producers: unicellular algae. 7. Toxicity tests with producers: higher plants, determination of chlorophyll content. 8. Toxicity tests with consumers: invertebrates. 9. Toxicity tests with destroyers: inhibitory effect of the chemical on bacteria. 10. Toxicity tests with destructors: determination of soil enzyme activity. 11. Detection of microorganisms in a soil sample. 12. Measurement of growth characteristics by digital image analysis. 13. Evaluation of ecotoxicological data: dose-response curve, NOEC, LOEC, EC50. 14. Determination of ecotoxicity of a real sample: development of an experimental procedure. Last update: Mocová Klára Anna (23.04.2025)
