Abstract
The parameters of biosensors based on the yeast strains Candida maltosa VKM Y-2359, Candida blankii VKM Y-2675, and Debaryomyces hansenii VKM Y-2482 for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) detection are compared. The catalytic activity of the strains was analyzed in relation to the growth phase. The possibility of using D. hansenii as a basis for receptor element of a biosensor for BOD detection in municipal and biotechnological wastewaters was shown.
► We use yeasts as the basis of a BOD biosensor. ► The yeasts are Candida maltosa, Candida blankii and Debaryomyces hansenii. ► We determine the characteristics of BOD biosensors based on the chosen yeasts. ► We show that the D. hansenii based sensor has the broadest substrate specificity.
