background: this study investigated the interaction between heterotrophic bacteria and coliform, fecal coliforms, fecal streptococci bacteria in water supply networks. methods: this study was conducted during 2013 on water supply distribution network in aq qala city, golestan province, northern iran and standard methods were applied for microbiological analysis. the surface method was applied t...

background: chemical and microbial quality of water used in hemodialysis play key roles in a number of dialysis-related complications. in order to avoid the complications and to guarantee safety and health of patients therefore, vigorous control of water quality is essential. the objective of present study was to investigate the chemical and bacteriological characteristics of water used in dial...

in the study of the effects of salicylate on population density of naphthalene degrading bacteria and heterotrophic bacteria in a sample or: soil polluted with aromatic hydrocarbons, two different concentrations of salicylate (16, 160) ?g / gr of soil incubated for 30 days. at 160 ?g / gr, salicylate enhanced the density of naphthalene degraders and heterotrophic bacteria for 30 days. no chenge...

An in-situ experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of tropical storm on the white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) loads in Litopenaeus vannamei rearing ponds. White spot syndrome virus loads, heterotrophic bacteria, Vibrio and water quality (including temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), salinity, pH, NH4-N, and NO2-N) were continually monitored through one tropical storm. The WSSV loads d...

A total of 2318 heterotrophic nitrogen removal (HNR) bacteria isolated from piggery wastes (after biogas container) were classified in four kinds of heterotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (569 isolates), nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (580 isolates), nitrate-oxidizing bacteria (600 isolates) and heterotrophic nitrifying and denitrifying bacteria (569 isolates). The virtually complete 16S rRNA gen...

Background & Aims of the Study: The heterotrophic bacteria are widely used as a water microbial pollution index for drinking water. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of metallic nanoparticles such as Zero Valent Iron (ZVI), Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and Zinc oxide (ZnO) on Heterotrophic Bacter...

Controlling the microbiological quality of water is important for its uses. Microbiological requirements of drinking water ensure the absence of coliforms, but may indicate the potential presence of other potentially pathogenic microorganisms and viruses of fecal origin. A total of 36 water samples, representing the drinking water of the whole city of Aradan, Semnan, Iran, were randomly collect...
