Processes and kits therefor for detection of water-borne pathogens and indicator organisms in water samples by recovering cells of the pathogens or indicator organisms from a water sample, lysing the cells to recover undegraded DNA, amplifying a target gene sequence of a target gene present in ...
Concentrations of indicator organisms in the stored rainwater in the Makana Municipality, South Africa. The United Nations Millennium Development Goals' target 7C seeks to halve the number of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. At present, supply of...

PRACTITIONER POINTS: Various waterborne pathogens and cases of outbreak occurances due to presence of pathogens are studied in this review paper. Recent studies for detecting major indicator organisms to evaluate the presence of pathogens in water bodies are reviewed. Culture-independent techniques as ...
To assess fecal pollution in coastal waters, current monitoring is reliant on culture-based enumeration of bacterial indicators, which does not account for the presence of viable but non-culturable or sediment-associated micro-organisms, preventing effective quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA)....
Human enteric viruses are believed responsible for numerous disease outbreaks caused by contaminated groundwater, but little is known about the survival of these organisms in groundwater. This study compared the ability of several viruses and bacteria to survive in groundwater. The organisms were ...
The interest in constructed wetlands for municipal wastewater and stormwater treatment has recently increased but data for the reduction efficiency of indicator organisms are often restricted to the water phase. In a full-scale wastewater wetland in Sweden fecal coliforms and enterococci were reduced by...

Consisting largely of green vegetation, these organisms are capable of photosynthesis—i.e., they can use the energy of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into simple, energy-rich carbohydrates. The autotrophs use the energy stored within the simple carbohydrates to produce the more ...
Bacteriological quality of runoff water from pastureland Runoff from a cow-calf pasture in eastern Nebraska was monitored for total coliforms (TC), fecal coliforms (FC), and fecal streptococci (FS) during 1976, 1... JW Doran,DM Linn - 《Applied & Environmental Microbiology》...
