A contemporary biostability assessment of raw and treated water requires determination of biodegradable organic matter fraction responsible for bacterial growth. BDOC test allows monitoring of bacterial growth by assaying chemical changes in the test-water and thereby determine the content of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon (BDOC). The aim of this study was to optimize the required period for performance of BDOC tests, and to examine the use effectiveness of different biofilm carrier. The results indicate that the BDOC test with sand-inoculation is more effective compared to the anthracite, and recommendations for monitoring of biodegradation process are a period of 3-5 days.
