  1. Chapter 27, part C Environmental Microbiology

  2. Algal Blooms • Pollutants (nutrients) may cause algal blooms. • Algal blooms lead to eutrophication. Figure 27.15

  3. Coliforms • Aerobic or facultatively anaerobic, gram-negative, non–endospore forming rods that ferment lactose to acid + gas within 48 hr, at 35°C • Indicator organisms • Used to detect fecal contamination • MPN • Most probable number/100 ml of water

  4. Multiple-Tube Method Figure 6.18a
