Abstract: | Amperometric biosensors using bacterial cells were developed for the determination of phenolic compounds and the measurement was based on the respiratory activity of the cells. For this purpose, Pseudomonas putida DSM 50026 which is one of the well-known phenol degrading organisms, was used as a biological component. The cells were grown in the presence of phenol as the sole source of organic carbon. As well as phenol adapted cells, the bacterium which used the glucose as the major carbon source, was also used to obtain another type of biosensor for the comparison of the responses and specificities towards different xenobiotics. The commercial oxygen electrode was used as a transducer to test the sensor responses for both induced and non-induced cells. Our results showed that the adaptation step enable us to obtain biosensor devices with different substrate specificity. Moreover, P. putida was immobilized on the surface of thick film working electrodes made of gold by using gelatin membrane cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. The biosensors were calibrated for different phenolic substances. Furthermore, phenol detection was performed in synthetic wastewater samples. |
