Assessing the effect of oxygen and microbial inhibitors to optimize ferricyanide-mediated BOD assay
Methods for short-term BOD analysis (BODst) based on ferricyanide mediator reduction have succeeded in overcoming some problems associated with the standard BOD test analysis (BOD5) such as long-term incubations (5 days), the need to dilute samples and low reproducibility. Here we present a bioassay...
