Abstract: | We examined the possibility of measuring the organophosphorus aromatic nitro insecticides metaphos and sumithion as well as their hydrolysis product p-nitrophenol (PNP) by the specific respiratory activity (SRA) of Pseudomonas putida C-11, P. putida BA-11, and Acinetobacter calcoaceticum A-122. The plots of cellular SRA against the two insecticides and PNP were linear over the ranges of 0.5-2.5 microM for P. putida C-11 and BA-11 and 0.5-1.0 microM for A. calcoaceticum A-122. P. putida BA-11 showed the greatest respiratory-response selectivity in the determination of the test substrates. We made comparison studies of the SRA of cells immobilised by two methods: carrier-surface adsorption and inclusion in various gels. We discuss the feasibility of developing a microbial sensor system for the determination of metaphos, sumithion, and PNP in aqueous media. |
