Abstract:A simple and effective method has been developed to reflect the growth of bacteria CH-1 via the potential of the solution. The results indicate that during the bacterial cultivation, the biomass increases and the potential of the solution decreases over time. The relationship between biomass and potential of the solution could be expressed by the equation with constants of a and b which are all related to species, batch, number, and growth environment of bacterial. When the initial pH value is 10 and the initial biomass is 6.55×107 cell/mL, the correlated equation of the biomass and the potential of the solution could be divided into two segments. The growth of bacteria CH-1 is different under various experimental conditions, but the biomass is directly related to the potential of the solution regardless of the conditions of different initial pH values and bacteria number.
Key words: electrochemical response; Cr(VI); bacteria CH-1; biomass; potential of solution
