Thebiorecognition elements of BOD s

The
biorecognition elements of BOD sensors are formed by either pure
microbial cultures with certain consumer properties (a broad range
of oxidized substrates, resistance to negative factors of the environment)
or microbial consortia (artificial co-cultures, activated
sludge) [3].
Microbial co-cultures make it possible to significantly broaden
the range of oxidized substrates and, correspondingly, to increase
