The electrode sensitive to dibenzyl dimethyl ammonium (DDA+), which is considered to be an indicator of the membrane potential, was constructed by using tetraphenyl borone (TPB−) embedded in dichloroethane. Rapid and Nernstian responses were exhibited against DDA+solutions ranging between 10−2and 3 · 10−6M in concentration. High selectivity for DDA+was observed in the presence of various inorganic salts, ADP, ATP, oxidizable substrates and sugars. The electrode developed here was used to measure the DDA+uptake inStreptococcus faecalisand the results agreed with those reported by Harold, F.M. and Papineau, D. ((1972) J. Membrane Biol. 8, 27–44 and 45–62). While they determined the DDA+concentration in the medium by measuring the absorbance of the filtrate treated with the ion-exchangers, the electrode can measure directly the DDA+concentration in the bacterial suspension without any pretreatment. It was also shown that the electrode can measure the DDA+uptake in mitochondria during energization.
