28. The following method was used to monitor oxygen concentration. Two thin steel wires, diameter 100 μ m, were submerged in the film next to two opposite supporting fibers, but remained in the proximity of open surface. The concentration of dissolved oxygen was monitored by the transmission of an electrical current through the bacterial suspension: the cathode produced a measurable electrical current at constant polarizing voltage directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen. Electrical resistance was processed by LabView in real time and the required commands were sent to magnetic valves, controlling oxygen and nitrogen feeding rates. Two reference points were used for calibration: maximal current corresponding to concentration of dissolved oxygen in water equilibrated with air, which is 0.25mM, and minimal current corresponding to zero oxygen concentration, see L.C.
