Risk Factors for Coliform Bacteria in Sierra Nevada Mountain Wilderness Lakes and Streams

In the Sierra Nevada Mountain wilderness backcountry, debate has occurred regarding the impact of cattle, pack animals, and humans on microbial contamination of the watershed. Using coliform bacteria as a marker, we hypothesized that water from high alpine watersheds with more frequent human or animal use patterns would have increased risks for presence of potentially harmful microbes. We analy...

Coliform Bacteria for Bioremediation of Waste Hydrocarbons

Raw, domestic sewage of Kuwait City contained about 106 ml-1 colony forming units of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. oharae (56.6%), Klebsiella spp. (36%), and Escherichia coli (7.4%), as characterized by their 16S rRNA-gene sequences. The isolated coliforms grew successfully on a mineral medium with crude oil vapor as a sole source of carbon and energy. Those strains also grew, albeit to differ...

Coliform and pathologic bacteria in Sierra Nevada national forest wilderness area lakes and streams.

OBJECTIVE To analyze backcountry-area water quality in US Department of Agriculture Forest Service-designated wilderness areas for the presence of coliform and potentially pathogenic bacteria. METHODS Thirty-one backcountry lakes and streams were selected that would stratify the risk based on use by backpackers, pack animals, commercial grazing animals, or natural unaffected wilderness areas....
