Subject:
Cryptosporidium parvum; oocysts; centrifugation; immunomagnetic separation; fluorescent antibody technique; polymerase chain reaction; Giardia lamblia; turbidity; microbial contamination; water treatment; pathogen identification
Abstract:
... Continuous flow centrifugation (CFC) was used in conjunction with immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and immunofluorescence microscopy (IFA) and nested PCR to recover and detect oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum and cysts of Giardia intestinalis from 10 L volumes of source water samples. Using a spiking dose of 100 oocysts, nine of 10 runs were positive by IFA, with a mean recovery of 4.4±2.27 oocyst ...

Abstract:
... Identifying the sources of fecal contaminants in surface water bodies such as rivers and lakes is of significant importance for environmental quality, food safety and regulatory purposes. Current DNA library-based source tracking approaches rely on the comparison of the genetic relatedness among the fecal contaminants. The objective of this study was to determine the genetic relatedness of Escheri ...

4. Filter pore size selection for characterizing dissolved organic carbon and trihalomethane precursors from soils

Author:
Chow, A.T.; Guo, F.; Gao, S.; Breuer, R.; Dahlgren, R.A.
Source:
Water research 2005 v.39 no.7 pp. 1255-1264

Subject:
soil pollution; mineral soils; organic soils; soil chemical properties; dissolved organic carbon; disinfectants; carcinogens; extraction; filtration; cations; California
Abstract:
... Filters with a pore size of 0:45 mm have been arbitrarily used for isolating dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in natural waters. This operationally defined DOC fraction often contains heterogeneous organic carbon compounds that may lead to inconsistent results when evaluating trihalomethane formation potential (THMFP). A finer pore size filter provides more homogeneous DOC properties and enables a b ...

Abstract:
... Little information is available regarding the effectiveness of ozone on the inactivation of caliciviruses and enteric adenoviruses. Inactivation experiments were conducted with feline calicivirus (FCV), closely related to the human caliciviruses based on nucleic acid organization and capsid architecture, and adenovirus type 40 (AD40). Experiments were carried out in buffered disinfectant demand fr ...

Abstract:
... Permeable reactive barrier (PRB) technology, in which sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) facilitate precipitation of metal sulfides, is a promisingapproach for remediation of sulfate- and metal-laden mine drainage. While PRBs are easily established, they often decline for reasons not well understood. SRB depend on or compete with multiple dynamic microbial populations within a PRB; as a result, perfo ...
