Anaerobic incubation of membrane filter cultures for improved detection of fecal coliforms from recreational waters.
Anaerobic incubation of membrane filter cultures significantly enhanced detection of fecal coliforms in surface-water samples from recreational beaches. In contrast to standard aerobic incubation, anaerobic incubation suppressed overgrowth of masking, noncoliform bacteria but did not increase the frequency of fecal coliform recovery.
متن کاملElimination of overgrowth in delayed-incubation membrane filter test for total coliforms by m-ST holding medium.
Two holding media were compared for their effects on total coliform recovery by the delayed-incubation membrane filter procedure. LES-MF holding medium contains tryptone, m-Endo broth, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, sodium benzoate, sulfanilamide, para-aminobenzoic acid, and cycloheximide (pH 7.0). m-ST holding medium contains ethanol, sodium monophosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, sulf...
متن کاملMembrane filter technique for the quantification of stressed fecal coliforms in the aquatic environment.
A two-layer membrane filtration (MF) medium (injury-mitigating MF [IM-MF]) and a procedure for the enumeration of injured fecal coliforms are described. These procedures included the addition of glycerol and acetate plus reducing agents to both layers of a two-layer medium and rinsing of the filter with a rich resuscitation medium. Some changes in incubation time and temperatures were used. Thi...
متن کاملMembrane filter method for recovery of fecal coliforms in chlorinated sewage effluents.
The standard one-step M-FC broth-membrane-filter procedure for recovery of fecal coliforms from chlorinated sewage effluents is much less effective than the multiple-tube (most-probable-number) technique. A two-step membrane-filter method, using a pre-enrichment technique with phenol red lactose broth and incubation at 35 degrees C for 4 h, followether 18+/-2 h, enhanced fecal coliform recovery...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of a Combination Weep Berm - Grass Filter Control System for Reducing Fecal Coliforms and Nutrients from Surface Runoff
Control of nonpoint source pollution is essential for improving water quality. The Environmental Protection Agency reports that the three primary pollutants to the nation's waterways are bacteria, nutrients, and sediment. Runoff from grazed pastures and manure applied land often contains high concentrations of fecal coliforms and nutrients. To control and treat this runoff, a low-cost, highly e...
