Abstract: The conventional electrochemical methods for detection of microbial population were divided into: impedimetry (conductivity), voltammetry, amperometry and potentiometry. The development of impedance bacteriometry was reviewed, and the detection capabilities of other techniques were compared. Finally, discussed the future development of electrochemical methods in microbial detection.

Key words: electrochemical, microbial population, impedance, voltammetry, amperometry
