摘要
The recovery of faecal coliforms in two selective media, m-FC agar and Lactose agar with TTC and Tergitol was investigated in various types of water, ranging from polluted seawater to unpolluted freshwater, The outputs of typical colonies were not statistically different, although in some seawater and brackishwater situations differences were noticed. Escherichia coli was found to represent, in average, 82% of the typical colonies. However the percentage ranged from 47.1-88.5%. Thermosensitive E. coli accounted for less than 4% of the total number of identified bacteria.
