Abstract:
The dependence of the sensitivity of a microbial biosensor of anionic surfactants (AS) on the growth phase of Pseudomonas rathonis T, a strain capable of degrading surfactants, was studied. Correlations were found between the optimum values of temperature and pH of microbial growth, substrate utilization, and functional performance of the microbial biosensor. These results allow the process of AS detection to be optimized.
