Problems solved by technology

However, the current determination methods are not suitable for the determination of small volume biological oxygen consumption
For example, epiphyllous biofilm or stone biofilm itself contains less microbial biomass, and a larger volume measurement system is difficult to sensitively reflect the respiration of biofilm
For another example, when measuring the respiration of water earthworms or chironomus larvae, it is also difficult for a large-volume measurement system to reflect small changes in oxygen.
Therefore, there is still a large gap in the current measurement method for the respiration of tiny organisms, and a simple and practical method is urgently needed to make up for it.

Abstract

The invention provides a device for measuring the respiration of microbes. The device is equipped with a tubular reaction cavity, wherein, the inner wall of the tubular reaction cavity is equipped with a reaction sieve which divides the reaction cavity into an upper part and a lower part; the orifice of the tubular reaction cavity is equipped with a seal plug; the seal plug is equipped with a through hole; an electrode tip hermetically passes through the through hole to extend into the upper part of the tubular reaction cavity; the tubular reaction cavity is vertically placed in a thermostatic water bath, and the thermostatic water bath is equipped with a water inlet and a water outlet which are communicated with a thermostatic water tank for circulation; the bottom surface of the tubularreaction cavity is contacted with the bottom surface of the thermostatic water bath; the top of the thermostatic water bath is equipped with a hole which is hermetically matched with the external diameter of the orifice of the tubular reaction cavity; a magnetic sheet is placed on the bottom surface of the tubular reaction cavity; the bottom surface of the thermostatic water bath is placed on a magnetic stirrer; the tubular reaction cavity is filled with a reaction solution; and a biological sample is placed on the reaction sieve, and the sieve pore is smaller than the volume of the biological sample.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the research and measurement of biological respiration, in particular to a device and method for measuring microbiological respiration for the research on biological films, microorganisms in sediments or water bodies and small organisms. Background technique [0002] Surface water oxygen is the basic condition for maintaining the survival of organisms, such as fish and benthic animals, and is one of the most important reactants in the biogeochemical cycle. The utilization of water oxygen by aquatic organisms is an important driving force for water oxygen consumption and organic matter degradation; biological aerobic respiration refers to the complete oxidation of sugars and other organic substances by organisms through the catalysis of enzymes with the participation of oxygen. Decomposition, producing carbon dioxide and water, and releasing a lot of energy. Accurate determination of the oxygen utilization rate by aquatic organ...
