The invention relates to a method enabling the existence of a biological activity of microorganisms to be determined quickly by applying an electric field. The inventive method includes the following: the microorganisms are placed in a suspension in a dielectric oil, an electric field is applied to said suspension and variations in the strength of the leakage current induced as a function of the applied electric field are measured. The device according to the invention comprises a container which is fitted with electrodes (2), whereby the suspension (3) of microorganisms in a dielectric oil is placed therein, in addition to means for generating an electric field between two or several electrodes, measuring means and means for recording the induced leakage current.

L'invention concerne un procédé de détermination rapide de l'existence d'une activité biologique de micro-organismes par application d'un champ électrique. Ce procédé comprend la mise en suspension des micro-organismes dans une huile diélectrique, l'application d'un champ électrique à ladite suspension et la mesure des variations de l'intensité du courant de fuite induit en fonction du champ électrique appliqué. Le dispositif selon l'invention comprend un conteneur équipé d'électrodes (2) dans lequel est placée la suspension (3) de micro-organismes dans une huile diélectrique, des moyens de génération d'un champ électrique entre deux ou plusieurs électrodes, des moyens de mesure et des moyens d'enregistrement du courant de fuite induit.
