    This study presents a novel microbial sensor for accurately detecting methyl alcohol and ammonia. The biosensor demonstrates rapid response times and high selectivity, offering a reliable method for continuous environmental monitoring.

    Area of Science:

    • Biotechnology
    • Environmental Science
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Microbial sensors offer a sensitive and selective approach for detecting various chemical compounds.
    • Continuous monitoring of environmental pollutants like methyl alcohol and ammonia is crucial.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and characterize a microbial sensor for the continuous determination of methyl alcohol.
    • To develop and characterize a microbial sensor for the amperometric determination of ammonia.

    Main Methods:

    • Immobilization of methyl alcohol-utilizing bacteria and nitrifying bacteria onto a gas-permeable membrane with an oxygen electrode.
    • Utilizing a steady-state method for response time determination and amperometric detection for ammonia measurement.

    Main Results:

    • The methyl alcohol sensor showed a linear response up to 22.5 mg/L with a response time under 10 minutes.
    • The ammonia sensor exhibited a linear response up to 42 mg/L with a 4-minute response time and high reproducibility.
    • Both sensors demonstrated satisfactory selectivity and stability over extended use.

    Conclusions:

    • Microbial sensors provide a robust and efficient platform for the continuous and selective determination of methyl alcohol and ammonia.
    • The developed biosensors hold potential for environmental monitoring and water quality assessment.
