  Abstract:  An enzyme based biosensor for the amperometric detection of catechol is described. The bioelectrode architecture consists of a Nafion® film, as immobilization matrix, phenothiazine dye (Methylene Green, MG) as mediator and mushroom tissue as tyrosinase source. The electrochemical and electrocatalytical behavior of the bioelectrode was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and amperometry. The biosensor has a sensitivity of 2 mA*M-1, with a detection limit of 20 M catechol and reaches 95 % of the steady-state current within 50-100 s, when the applied potential was -0.05 V vs. Ag/AgCl, KClsat.
