Abstract
A biosensor for the determination of glucose and fructose concentrations is provided. The biosensor is produced by a method which comprises treating Zymomonas mobilis whole cells with an organic solvent such as xylene and n-butanol, immobilizing the treated whole cells onto a support selected from the group consisting of gelatin, collagen, agarose, cellophane and polyacrylamide to give an immobilized whole cell enzyme membrane and adhering the membrane to the surface of a pH electrode to give the biosensor. The resulting biosensor is capable of determning glucose and fructose in high concentrations such as 5 g/L and 50 g/L, respectively. Invertase can be immobilized with the whole cells to provide a biosenser for the determination of sucrose.
