[Wastewater purification efficiency appreciation using a rapid microbiological test]
2001
Tibru, I. | Nichita, I. | Savescu, E. | Mircov, V.D. (Facultatea de Medicina Veterinara, Timisoara (Romania))
The surface water quality preservation is dependent on the used technology of wastewater purification, waters that are thrown in natural streams and on the used methods for the purification efficiency evaluation. The field microbiological test (FMT) is made of a concentrated culture medium that allows the evidencing of enterobacteria below values of 100/cubic cm, therefore it was used for sanitary ranking of treated wastewaters at the sewage treatment plant of Timisoara (Romania). We noted a 100% correlation between FMT and the official coliform bacteria test.

This paper presents the results obtained after an alternative treatment (aerobic and anaerobic) of the animal slurry. We discussed only about the problems related to the effects of denitrification and dephosphatation on coliform bacteria. We noticed a good decontamination of the slurry using alternatively the two procedures. To determine the decontamination degree we used the classical multiple tubes method. The same samples were examined through the field microbiological test (FMT) adding Kovacs reagent. There is a concordance between the coliform bacteria determined through the classical method and the number determined through FMT to which the Kovacs reagent adding increases the sensitivity degree.

1997
Dela Cruz, J. | Halos, P.M.
Oil-degrading bacteria were isolated from waters and sediments of the Manila Bay and Pasig River [Philippines]. Five types of bacteria were isolated from Manila Bay and four from Pasig River. The identified crude oil degrading species are Vibrio sp., Alcaligenes sp., Flavobacterium indologenes and Acinetobacter sp. from Manila Bay, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus sp., Micrococcus sp. and Pseudomonas putida from Pasig River. These isolates were identified through morphological and physiological characterization. The bioremediation potential for each of the isolates was assessed. The percentages oil conversion for the bacterial isolates ranged from 2.99 percent - 53.44 percent in one week's time. Alcaligenes sp. exhibited the highest biodegradation potential for all isolates. Statistical analysis revealed that the mean percentages diesel oil conversion by the isolates were significantly higher than their mean percentages crude oil conversion. Pure and mixed cultures did not give significant differences in their mean percentages crude oil conversion

Research of some physicochemical and biological pollution indicators in four fisheries of the northern part of Cameroon
2013
Maïworé J. | Tatsadjieu N.L. | Montet D. | Mbofung C.M.
The bacteriological and physicochemical characteristics of water and sediment collected in four fisheries situated in the north of Cameroon were evaluated. In these locations, all the analysed parameters (temperature, pH, salinity, conductivity, turbidity, suspended matter, organic matter, phosphates, sulphates, nitrates, chloride, calcium, magnesium, iron and nitrogen) were the highest, except for chlorides. Total mesophile aerobic flora varied between 1.4±0.50×105 in Tibati and 5.57±0.50×106 CFU/mL in Lagdo. Salmonella concentration was comprised between 66.66±1.62 in Tibati and 274±3.16 CFU/mL in Yagoua. There was about 10±0.50 CFU/mL Vibrio in Lagdo and 342.27±5.53 CFU/mL in Maga. Staphylococcus concentration was between 1.4±0.55×103 CFU/mL in Tibati and 4.44±0.9×104 in Maga. Clostridia were comprised between 0.33±0.00 in Tibati and 226.66±4.29 CFU/mL in Maga while Pseudomonas concentration was comprise between 16.26±0.70 in Tibati and 326.66±6.00 CFU/mL in Lagdo. Faecal Streptococcus varied between 0.33±0.00 in Tibati and 238.66±8.15 CFU/mL in Yagoua. The total mesophile aerobic flora was significantly high (P<0,005) in Lagdo while Clostridium, faecal streptococcus, and Streptococcus concentration were significantly high in Maga, Yagoua and Lagdo. Lake's sediments in Maga were the most infected. The different analysis revealed that the fisheries were relatively polluted. Some of the bacteria counted like Pseudomonas and Vibrio might be pathogenic for fishes. (Résumé d'auteur)

Lolić, S., Prirodno-matematički fakultet, Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina) | Golub, D., Prirodno-matematički fakultet, Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina) | Dekić, R., Prirodno-matematički fakultet, Banja Luka (Bosnia and Herzegovina) | Matavulj, M., Prirodno-matematički fakultet, Novi Sad (Serbia) | Ivanc, A., Fakultet za biofarming, Bačka Topola (Serbia)
During the summer 2009 physical, chemical, biochemical and bacteriological analyses of water of rivers Mušnica and Suški Potok were performed. Microbiological analysis point out that waters belong to the 2nd class by Kohl. The river Mušnica had slightly polluted water, and river Suški Potok had very slightly polluted water. According to the Regulation on Classification of Surface Waters in Republic of Srpska (Bosnia and Herzegivina) all the observed parameters belong to the first or second water quality class. Only the stream Suški Potok has chloride concentration that exceeds a third-class quality. On the basis of observed characteritics it can be concluded that Mušnica and Suški Potok have a satisfactory water quality.

The city of Novi Sad uses groundwater as drinking water source. For this purpose only water from Danube alluvium is used, and the water is abstracted at three sites. The Danube water and sediment quality in the zone of the drinking water sources is of great importance, as the river Danube recharge alluvial aquifer. The microbiological quality of these environments was monitored, in order to determine their influence on drinking water quality. The water characterization was carried out using sanitary and ecological microbiological parameters of Danube water and sediment.

There was carried out microbiological analysis of five bottled water of manufacturers from Serbia. Bacteriological quality was estimated using important parameter-aerobic mesophylic bacteria. Two nutrient media were used: standard (PCA) and low nutrient R2A. Plates were incubated at two temperatures (37 deg C and 22 deg C) during 24 hours, 48 hours, 3 days and 5 days. Results show that this group of bacteria is very abudant in bottled waters and their number depends on water types and manufacturers. Moreover, water from different bottles of the same manufacturer has different microbiological quality. Used media, temperatures and period of incubation also have influence on results and R2A medium gives higher values of aerobic mesophylic bacteria.

Water wells are among the oldest hydraulic engineering structures in the world. Today, hundreds of water wells service water supply systems in Serbia, and groundwaters are widely used for public water supply. Extensive practical engineering experience in water well operation has identified a number of problems which affect well service life and capacity (i.e. reduce specific yield). Some of the encountered problems are, also, a result of microbial activity in groundwater. Products of life processes of groundwater specific microbial community cause biocorrosion, blockage, closure, plugging, deposition, and biofouling of well screens and collectors. We applied BART biodetectors as a reliable tool in monitoring well rehabilitation effectiveness. This paper presents several process assessments based on BART biodetector tests conducted at Belgrade groundwater source.
