title: Biosensor analyzer for BOD index express control on the basis of the yeast microorganisms Candida maltosa, Candida blankii, and Debaryomyces hansenii.
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.
