Abstract: This review paper discusses a new set of biotests used for toxicity assessment of plant protection products and their residues in agricultural ecosystems. Recent regulations have imposed restrictions on the use of animals for scientific purposes, and also the obligation to analyze auxiliary substances in plant protection products and to identify endocrine disrupters. The major characteristics of yeasts and their taxonomic classification are describedin the study. Commercial yeast-based biotests and potential uses of yeasts in environmental studies and toxicogenomics are also analyzed.
