Prevalence of faecal indicator bacteria, Escherichia coli and pathogenic bacteria, Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Salmonella were analysed in Vembanadu lake (9 degrees 35'N 76 degrees 25'E), along south west coast of India for a period of one year from ten stations on the southern and northern sides of a salt water regulator constructed in Vembanadu Lake in order to prevent incurs...

1. The respiration of luminous bacteria has been studied by colorimetric and manometric methods. 2. Limulus oxyhaemocyanin has been used as a colorimetric indicator of oxygen consumption and indicator dyes were used for colorimetric determination of carbon dioxide production. 3. The Thunberg-Winterstein microrespirometer has been used for the measurement of the rate of oxygen consumption by lum...

Total coliform (TC), fecal coliform (FC), and fecal streptococcal (FS) numbers were monitored for 3 years to determine the effect of grazing on the presence of these organisms in runoff from a cattlegrazed and a nongrazed watershed in the Pacific Northwest. The watersheds were characterized by winter precipitation and summer grazing. Weighted-average numbers of TC and FS in runoff did not appea...

introduction: selected probiotic lactobacilli have inhibitory effect and therefore may be use as biological preservative, so, the aim of this study was to present some data on isolation, growth, antimicrobial activity, effect of ph, heat, and sensitivity to proteolytic enzymes of lactobacillus. material and methods: isolation of lactic acid bacteria from sausage was done by using 1g of samples ...

The purpose of this research paper is to develop a framework to understand the consumer’s preference affecting variables and consumer’s perception choice in telecommunication service providers in India. The present study use a hybrid approach to access the relative efficiency based on fuzzy AHP and DEA model. The fuzzy AHP is used to determine weights of the consumer’s preference as criteria an...
