Total coliform (TC) guideline value is 50 TC/100mlFecal coliform (FC) guideline value is 200 E coli/100 mL or 200 fecal coliforms/100 mL
A coliform count is a microbiological assay of the number of coliform-type bacteria living in a certain sample. This is often used as a measure of fecal contamination of water supplies.
Coliform bacteria is associated with fecal matter, and since rain does not come in contact with fecal matter before hitting the ground, it should not contain coliform bacteria.
No it shouldn't be capitalized.
Fecal coliforms have the ability to ferment lactose at 44C +/- 0.05C while regular coliforms ferment lactose at 35C-37C
Coliform in well water is the presence of fecal matter in the well water. If the bacteria is found in drinking water, appropriate action needs to be taken.
Somebody (or something) is using the river as a toilet.
The acceptable water quality level for coliform bacteria in drinking water is zero colony-forming units (CFU) per 100 milliliters as specified by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The presence of coliform bacteria indicates possible contamination from fecal matter and poses a health risk. Drinking water should be regularly tested to ensure it meets this standard.
Coliforms are rod shaped gram negative bacteria that are often in well water. Not all coliform are harmful, but those of fecal origin are very harmful. The lab coliform count determines what type and how many coliform are in a water sample. This result is always marked "fit for human use" or "NOT fit for human use".
FCB means fecal coliform bacteria - rod-shaped bacteria usually found in the feces.
