Fecal Coliform Organism Enumeration in Chlorinated Wastewaters
The accepted method for determining disinfection efficiency of wastewater treatment systems is routinely to perform fecal coliform bacteria analyses on the final effluent (5). Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater outlines two procedures for fecal coliform analysis: the membrane filtration technique and the most-probable-number (MPN) method (1). For chlorinated effluents,...
متن کاملComparison of fecal coliform agar and violet red bile lactose agar for fecal coliform enumeration in foods.
A 24-h direct plating method for fecal coliform enumeration with a resuscitation step (preincubation for 2 h at 37 +/- 1 degrees C and transfer to 44 +/- 1 degrees C for 22 h) using fecal coliform agar (FCA) was compared with the 24-h standardized violet red bile lactose agar (VRBL) method. FCA and VRBL have equivalent specificities and sensitivities, except for lactose-positive non-fecal colif...
متن کاملBoric acid lactose broth as a medium for the detection of fecal coliform bacteria.
Boric acid lactose broth has been suggested (Levine et al., 1934; Vaughn and Levine, 1935; Vaughn et al., 1951; Levine et al., 1955) as a medium for the detection of Escherichia coli in water and in foods. This medium is designed to suppress Escherichia freundii and species of Aerobacter, organisms often considered to be nonfecal in origin. The published results are rather convincing where sepa...
متن کاملTimed-release capsule method for coliform enumeration.
Wax-coated capsules containing selective ingredients (brilliant green and oxgall) were added at the time of inoculation of most-probable-number media (modified lactose broths). The inhibitory ingredients gradually diffused from the capsules into the nonselective media, imparting selectivity to the media. Concentrations of brilliant green did not reach inhibitory levels until 2 or more h had ela...
متن کاملImproving the assessment of risk from pathogens in biosolids: fecal coliform regrowth, survival, enumeration, and assessment.
Reactivation or regrowth of fecal coliform bacteria in biosolids has recently become a concern due to knowledge that Class B materials may fail to meet this criterion after storage or even after land application. In this paper, data show the two types of fecal coliform increases that have been characterized: immediate reappearance of large concentrations directly after dewatering; and the rapid...
