ABSTRACT:
The presence of microorganisms in a sample is determined by culturing micrganisms in a growth medium which is in contact with a measuring electrode and a reference electrode and detecting the change in potential between the electrodes which arises by the migration and accumulation of said microorganisms adjacent the surface of the measuring electrodes thus forming a charge-charge interaction between said measuring electrode and accumulated microorganisms, by measuring the potential change with a high impedance potentiometer.
