Abstract: The method of 3,5,5-triphenyltetrazolium (TTC) determining biofilms activity was improved,and the problem that the standard curve of determination on TTC-dehydrogenase activity can’t be made conveniently and stably was resolved.The factors which influence the determination were studied.The results showed that sodium sulfide as reducer,toluene as TF organic extractant,Tris-HCl as buffer solution,pH 8.6 and 38 ℃ were the best condition on the developed method,and the optimum reaction time to cultivate biofilms is 6 h.

Key words: biofilms, TTC, dehydrogenase activity, standard curve
