The invention relates to the field of
biotechnology and dead /
living cell detection, in particular to a method for rapidly determining the activity of
biological membrane cells in immobilized
fermentation. According to the method, a
methylene blue and
trisodium citrate synergistic
chromosome system is optimized, a
biofilm EPS matrix is synergistically penetrated by virtue of the dispersion effect of
trisodium citrate and the reduction characteristic of
methylene blue, and a spectrophotometric method is combined to detect the OD value of a
staining solution instead of stained cells, so that the efficient quantitative analysis of the ratio of dead cells to living cells of the immobilized
biofilm is realized. The method can complete detection within 200 s, is simple and convenient to operate and low in cost, does not need complex equipment, and is remarkably superior to a traditional
fluorescent staining method.
