Laboratory experiment consisted of two bioassays: first with substrate mixture of two and more ingredients tested: standard OECD substrate, standard substrate with medical clay, peat + clay, peat + sand, clay + sand; second with every ingredient individually tested: coarse sand, fine sand, peat, clay and no substrate.	cache/bionys-345.pdf	txt/bionys-345.txt
