Methanobrevibacter ruminantium as an indicator of domesticated-ruminant fecal pollution in surface waters.
A PCR-based assay (Mrnif) targeting the nifH gene of Methanobrevibacter ruminantium was developed to detect fecal pollution from domesticated ruminants in environmental water samples. The assay produced the expected amplification product only when the reaction mixture contained DNA extracted from M. ruminantium culture, bovine (80%), sheep (100%), and goat (75%) feces, and water samples from a ...
متن کاملPepper mild mottle virus as an indicator of fecal pollution.
Accurate indicators of fecal pollution are needed in order to minimize public health risks associated with wastewater contamination in recreational waters. However, the bacterial indicators currently used for monitoring water quality do not correlate with the presence of pathogens. Here we demonstrate that the plant pathogen Pepper mild mottle virus (PMMoV) is widespread and abundant in wastewa...
متن کاملComparison of fecal indicator bacterial populations in surface waters of the Kalamazoo River, USA.
Surface waters along the Kalamazoo River, USA, were examined for occurrence and population trends of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) with culture-based and culture-independent methods. The two methods recorded discrepancies in FIB counts, with the culture-independent method revealing more consistent numbers between the river sites. FIB cells that hybridized with the ECO1482 probe were highest in...
متن کاملCaffeine as an indicator of human fecal contamination in the Sinos River: a preliminary study.
The preservation of hydric resources is directly related to fecal contamination monitoring, in order to allow the development of strategies for the management of polluting sources. In the present study, twenty-five water samples from six water public supply collection sites were used for the evaluation of the presence of caffeine, total and fecal coliforms. Caffeine was detected in all samples,...
متن کاملPredicting Biochemical Oxygen Demand As Indicator Of River Pollution Using Artificial Neural Networks
Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are frequently used to predict various ecological processes and phenomenon related to water resources. Various ANN applications involve the prediction of water quality using various environmental parameters. This paper discusses the use of two environmental data sets from two sampling sites, merged together and applied to forecasting a dependent variable, namel...
