Bacterial interference with coliform colony sheen production on membrane filters.
The membrane filter (MF) method for detection and enumeration of coliform bacteria in drinking water requires that the coliforms both grow and produce a green metallic sheen when the filter is incubated on modified Endo medium at 35 degrees C for 22 h. Large numbers of noncoliform bacteria, which are enumerated by the standard plate count (SPC) technique, can interfere with the detection of col...
متن کاملInfluence of coliform source on evaluation of membrane filters.
Four brands of membrane filters were examined for total and fecal coliform recovery performance by two experimental approaches. Using diluted EC broth cultures of water samples, Johns-Manville filters were superior to Sartorius filters for fecal coliform but equivalent for total coliform recovery. Using river water samples, Johns-Manville filters were superior to Sartorius filters for total col...
متن کاملInfluence of diluents, media, and membrane filters on detection fo injured waterborne coliform bacteria.
Pure cultures of Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter aerogenes, and Citrobacter freundii were injured ( greater than 90%) in water from a dead-end section of the Bozeman, Montana, distribution system. The effects of the following laboratory variables on the enumeration efficiency of injured and undamaged control cells were examined: (i) diluent composition, temperature, and ti...
متن کاملEvaluation of membrane filters for the determination of numbers of coliform bacteria in water.
Since the report by Goetz (1947) on the nature and use of membrane filters in Germany, a number of papers have appeared in this country on membrane filter technics for the bacteriological analysis of water. Interest in the use of these membranes was particularly stimulated in 1951 following the publication of papers by Clark et al. (1951) and Goetz and Tsuneishi (1951). These investigators desc...
متن کاملInvestigation on Removal of Coliform from Groundwater Using Sandy Filters Modified with Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron (Case Study: Ilam City)
Background & objectives: In recent years, iron nanoparticles have been successfully used to remove water pollutants. Fecal coliform is one of the parameters that reduces water quality and its removal is essential. The aim of the present study is using nanoscale zerovalent iron particles to enhance the usual sand filters in removal of fecal coliform of groundwater in Ilam city. Methods: Water s...
