Abstract
Microbial amperometric sensors for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) determination using Bacillus subtilis or Trichosporon cutaneum cells immobilized in polyvinylalcohol have been developed. These sensors allow BOD measurements with very short response times (15-30s), a level of precision of ±5% and an operation stability of 30 days. A linear range was obtained for a B. subtilis-based sensor up to 20 mg/l BOD and for a T. cutaneum-based sensor up to 100 mg/l BOD using a glucose/glutamic acid standard.
