Standard inocula preparations reduce the bacterial diversity and reliability of regulatory biodegradation tests

OECD ready biodegradability tests have been central to understanding the biodegradation of chemicals from a regulatory perspective for many decades. They are not fit for contemporary prioritisation of chemicals based on persistence, however, due to the low concentration of inocula used, short durati...
