Microbiology of Water and Sewage

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1953
Enumeration.-An advance has been made in the technique of enumera­ tion of intestinal bacteria by the development of membrane filtration (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). The method has advantages over the standard method for the determination of coliform organisms in potable and polluted waters because it allows a concentration of a small number of organisms from ...

Microbiology of Potable Water

1984
Publisher Summary This chapter describes the microbiology of potable water from a historical as well as an ecological perspective. The historical perspective reacquaints with the insights and endeavors of investigators who preceded researchers in the quest for protection and understanding of the microbial quality of water.

Microbiological Safety of Drinking Water

Annual Review of Microbiology, 2000
▪ Abstract  Emerging pathogens in drinking water have become increasingly important during the decade. These include newly-recognized pathogens from fecal sources such as Cryptosporidium parvum, Campylobacter spp., and rotavirus, as well as pathogens that are able to grow in water distribution systems, like Legionella spp., mycobacteria, and ...

Water Microbiology

2006
Publisher Summary The quantitative and qualitative assessment of wetland system microbial dynamics is important for estimating the treatment performance and assessing public health issues. Wetland systems might harbor organisms that are potentially pathogenic.

Microbiology of Amazonian waters

1984
The relation between river and lake in the Central Amazon is one that reflects evolutionary adaptation to the environment. Down through the millenia, a grand design has evolved. This design, or structure, has developed into a cyclic Energy Biomass exchange which characterizes the Central Amazonian lakes (Rai & Hill 1981a).

The microbiology of acidic mine waters

Research in Microbiology, 2003
Acidic, metal-rich waters generated by the microbially accelerated dissolution of pyrite and other sulfide minerals, are frequently encountered in derelict mine sites, including many that have been long-abandoned. While these waters are major causes of environmental pollution and are toxic to the majority of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, some ...

MICROBIOLOGY OF DRINKING WATER AND SEWAGE

Annual Review of Microbiology, 1948
Research in the field of purification of drinking water in recent years has focused primarily on topics of technology, and important and new viewpoints in the bacteriological line have no come to our notice. The role of bacteria in drinking water has been looked upon quite differently in the course of time, but general opinion may be said to converge ...

Microbiology in Surface Water Sources [PDF]

open access: possibleOpflow, 1978
The natural microbial flora found in surface waters, such as algae, bacteria, and yeast, are perfectly safe and do not cause any diseases until human waste is added to the water. This flora does, however, cause taste and odor problems in the water. This paper discusses waterborne diseases and infection, the bacteriological indicators of waterborne ...
