Summary A microbial amperometric sensor using peptide-induced cells of Bacillus subtilis was developed for the determination of peptides, based on the measurement of change of current (acceleration of respiration). The sensor system showed a low sensitivity for amino acids and glucose, but a high sensitivity for peptides, e.g. angiotensin and gonadotropin-releasing hormone. The microbial peptide sensor could also be used for the determination of proteolytic activities by measurement of the products of protein splitting.
