Abstract

Four resazurin concentrations (10, 25, 50 and 100 mg/L) were studied for their use in a biotoxicity sensor assessing the effect of 10 mg/L pentachlorophenol (PCP) on both Enterococcus faecalis, and fresh anaerobic sludge. Kinetically, after four minutes the effect of PCP on both E. faecalis (low concentration of OD600nm 0.1) and fresh anaerobic sludge was significant based on resazurin reduction. 25 mg/L of resazurin was found to be optimal for use in a new biotoxicity sensor being developed for anaerobic digestion.
