  • Immobilized microbial consortium useful for rapid and reliable BOD estimation
    Patent number: 6531293
    Abstract: An immobilized microbial consortium is formulated which comprises of a synergistic mixture of isolated bacteria namely, Aeromonas hydrophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Yersinia enterocolitica, Serratia liquefaciens, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Enterobacter cloaca, Klebsiella oxytoca, Citrobacter amalonaticus and Enterobacter sakazaki. The formulated microbial consortium is immobilized on charged nylon membrane. The said immobilized microbial consortium is attached to dissolved oxygen probe for the preparation of electrode assembly. The prepared electrode assembly is used for rapid and reliable BOD estimation. The prepared electrode assembly is used for monitoring of BOD load of synthetic samples such as Glucose-Glutamic acid (GGA) used as a reference standard in BOD analysis and industrial effluents; covering a range from low to high biodegradable organic matter.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 27, 2000
    Date of Patent: March 11, 2003
    Assignee: Council of Scientific and Industrial Research
    Inventors: Rita Kumar, Alka Sharma, Shikha Rastogi, Santosh Dayaram Makhijani, A. Manoharan
