Improved method for coliform verification.
نویسنده
چکیده
Modification of a method for coliform verification presented in Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater is described. Modification of the method, which is based on beta-galactosidase production, involves incorporation of a lactose operon inducer in medium upon which presumptive coliform isolates are cultured prior to beta-galactosidase assay.

Impact of verification media and resuscitation on accuracy of the membrane filter total coliform enumeration technique.
Verification of membrane filter total coliform colonies was compared in lauryl tryptose broth, and m-LAC broth primary media and brilliant green-lactose-bile broth and EC broth secondary media. Verification in m-LAC broth yielded the greatest number of aerogenic isolates for both untreated surface water and drinking water samples. Verification in brilliant green-lactose-bile broth increased the...
متن کاملBaffle and fixed media effects on coliform removal and bacterial die-off rate coefficient in waste stabilization ponds (a case study in Ahvaz)
Background: The use of waste stabilization ponds is one of the cheapest wastewater treatment processes. This study evaluated the effects of baffles and fixed media on coliform removal in facultative lagoons. Methods: In this study, the settled wastewater from four pond systems of the city of Ahvaz was used as input. Each system was composed of two ponds that were connected to each other serial...
متن کاملImproved membrane filtration method incorporating catalase and sodium pyruvate for detection of chlorine-stressed coliform bacteria.
In vitro pure culture studies were conducted on three different strains of Escherichia coli (K-12, EPA 00244, and SWEI) to determine the effect of chlorination on catalase activity. In each case, stationary-phase cells exhibited significant (P less than 0.001) reductions in enzyme activity following exposure to chlorine. Mean differences in activity between control and chlorine-stressed cells r...
متن کاملImproved methods for detecting E. coli and coliforms in drinking water: AFNOR validation of Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray
• Per AFNOR Certification guidelines, a preliminary study was conducted where the relative accuracy, linearity, detection and quantification limits, selectivity (inclusivity and exclusivity) and practicability of the Colilert-18/Quanti-Tray method were assessed using samples of distribution water and fountain water spiked with strains of both coliform bacteria and E. coli. All the assessed perf...
متن کاملEvaluation of factors affecting the membrane filter technique for testing drinking water.
The following studies were done in response to questions regarding the adoption and use of the membrane filter (MF) technique for testing drinking water for the total coliform indicator group. A comparison with the most-probable-number technique showed that MF procedures with m-Endo agar LES were somewhat superior to the most-probable-number methods in terms of numbers of coliform organims reco...
