The possibility of the developing a biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) biosensor based on electroactive biofilms of activated sludge grown on the surface of a graphite-paste electrode modified with carbon nanotubes was studied. A complex of microscopic methods controlled biofilm formation: optical microscopy with phase contrast, scanning electron microscopy, and laser confocal microscopy. The features of charge transfer in the obtained electroactive biofilms were studied using the methods of cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The rate constant of the interaction of microorganisms with the extracellular electron carrier (0.79 ± 0.03 dm3(g s)−1) and the heterogeneous rate constant of electron transfer (0.34 ± 0.02 cm s−1) were determined using the cyclic voltammetry method. These results revealed that the modification of the carbon nanotubes’ (CNT) electrode surface makes it possible to create electroactive biofilms. An analysis of the metrological and analytical characteristics of the created biosensors showed that the lower limit of the biosensor based on an electroactive biofilm of activated sludge is 0.41 mgO2/dm3, which makes it possible to analyze almost any water sample. Analysis of 12 surface water samples showed a high correlation (R2 = 0.99) with the results of the standard method for determining biochemical oxygen demand.
