The MTT test is used to determine the cytotoxicity of species: Achlya americana, A. caroliniana, Leptomitus lacteus, Saprolegnia ferax and S. lapponica, which occurred in Lake Sitno in the Drawieński National Park (W Poland). It was stated that among five examined species of zoosporic fungi only one of them A. caroliniana, does not show cytotoxic effect. Low and mean toxicity of other tested water FLO, however, combined with the large-scale character of their appearance shows, that they can create serious threat for the spawn, fry, fish as well as the other organisms (including invertebrates) existing in water
