Coliphages
Background Enteric viruses may contaminate water supplies, causing waterborne disease outbreaks, including gastroenteritis and infectious hepatitis. Microbiological quality of water is typically assessed using total and fecal coliform bacteria and or Escherichia coli as indicators of fecal contamination. However, the literature suggests that these indicators may be inadequate predictors of viral ...

Optimisation of cell surface and structural components for improving adsorption capacity of Pseudomonas putida 5-x to Cu2+
A heavy metal binding bacterium Pseudomonas putida 5-x was used as biosorbent for heavy metal removal from wastewater. In order to compete with physical adsorbent, the optimisation of the cell preparation technique for further improving its biosorption capacity was conducted. Results showed that the compositions of medium for cell culturing, cell growth age and cell pre-treating technique would ...

Monash University - Evaluation of New Microbial Detection Methods - Case Study
Bays, inlets and rivers provide essential ecological, economical and recreational value to the communities they serve. However, they are under constant and increasing pressure from urbanization, population growth and a changing climate. In coastal and inland regions around the world, fecal contamination remains the primary cause of closure for recreational use. Melbourne’s Yarra River and ...

Viral Analyses
Outbreaks of foodbome and waterborne illness have been associated with viruses'*" . The viruses that are typically transmitted by water (via the fecal-oral route) belong to one of the largest groups of viruses called the enteric viruses. At least 140 human enteric virus types are known, including 72 serotypes of enteroviruses, adenoviruses, reoviruses, rotaviruses, norwalk virus, and others*. ...

Less and More : Why You Should Pump Slurries with a Peristaltic Pump
LESS WATER Peristaltic Pumps Use Less Water Hose pumps can circulate slurry SGs of 1.6 to 1.8 or up to 80% solid content. The traditional centrifugal pump loses efficiency when the slurry SG reaches 1.3 or 30% solids. With this limitation, slurry pumps have significant process water demands : on a plant processing 70 tonnes of ore per hour, every time a hose pump replaces a process slurry pump, ...
