.coli bacteria before and after UV-irradiation are presented. Keywords: semiconductor sensors, water, liquid phase biological systems Introduction Effective implementation of semiconductor metal oxide sensors (SMOS) for air and gas media analysis may find logical extension. There are good options to use these sensors for analysis of various gas components dissolved in polar liquids (for instance, in water or liquid phase biological systems). Such possibility results from an increase of electron transfer rate between adsorbed gas molecules and semiconductor surface, caused by polar media. That is why theoretic options exist for development of a method for gas analysis at a temperature of a liquid system. Such method could not only simplify a measurement process, but also improve sensor sensitivity as a result of increase of gas molecules adsorption rate under the conditions of temperature decrease. Though advantages of semiconductor metal oxide sensors are explicit (i.e. high sensitivity, operating speed, small sizes, options for real time measurements, comparatively low cost), only few papers were thitherto publ
