Abstract: There is described a method for assaying for loss of viability of a photosynthetic organism (preferably a microorganism) in an aqueous liquid. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises the step of using fluorescence to correlate the photorepair index for the organism in the aqueous liquid to survivorship of the organism (preferably a microorganism) after it is exposed to ultraviolet radiation, thereby assessing viability.
