A flow system for cyanide detection using Succhuromyces cerevisiue is described. This sensor system consists of two oxygen electrodes and immobilized S. cerevisiue whose respiration activity is measured by the oxygen electrodes. Since cyanide inhibits S. cerrvisiue's respiration, it can be detected

Abstract
A reactor type biosensor using an immobilized bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens NCIMB 11764) columm and an oxygen electrode was developed for cyanide. The optimum conditions for the sensor in a flow system (pH 9, 25Β°C, flow rate 2.5 mg/min) resulted in a response time of less than 5min. A linear relationship was observed between the current decrease and the cyanide concentration over the range of 0.05β1 mg/L. Operating at 25 Β°C, the sensor was stable up to 30 days. Alginate gel as the immobilized matrix was more suitable than other matrices (agars, polyurethane, porous glass beads, zeolite, chitopearl). Satisfactory results were obtained when the sensor was applied to determine the concentration of cyanide in the river water.
