Abstract: The sensors were prepared by incorporating K4Fe(CN)6 and poly-(4-vinylpyridine) in carbon - mineral oil paste and adding (i) the commercial enzyme monophenol monooxygenase or (ii) fresh Agaricus bisporus albida mushroom before packing the mixture into the cavity of a thin-layer cell (Bioanalytical Systems). Alternatively, the carbon paste and the fresh mushroom were separately packed into a dual-electrode thin-layer cell mounted in serial mode. Measurements were made in a continuous-flow system at -0.2 V vs.. Ag - AgCl; 0.1 M KCl (pH 7.5) was used as supporting electrolyte. Response to phenol was rectilinear up to 2.5 ppm with a slope of 7.8 nA ppm-1 for the electrode incorporating the commercial enzyme, with a detection limit of 14 ppb; that incorporating mushroom admixed with the mediator had a dynamic range above 15 ppm and the detection limit was 0.16 ppm. The dual electrode also responded rectilinearly. The electrodes are easier to construct and condition than those incorporating tyrosinase adsorbed on nylon membranes.
