A new biosensor using co-immobilized microbes in a composite material offers a stable and reproducible method for monitoring biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in water, aligning well with traditional testing. This advances water quality assessment.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate monitoring of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is crucial for assessing water quality.
  • Conventional BOD testing methods can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
  • Development of rapid and reliable biosensors is needed for efficient water monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel biosensor for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) detection.
  • To investigate the use of co-immobilized microorganisms in a sol-gel composite for enhanced performance.
  • To evaluate the stability, reproducibility, and accuracy of the developed biosensor.

Main Methods:

  • Co-immobilization of Trichosporon cutaneum and Bacillus subtilis within a sol-gel derived composite material (silica and PVA-g-P(4-VP)).
