What is a coliform count of water?
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".
Does a high coliform count indicate that the water may contain more than one kind of disease causing organism?

If a high coliform count is an indicator that the water may contains what?
sewage
What is an excellent standard to use in determining the bacterial safety of water?
Total coliform count
What are the bacteriological parameters in water by USPH standards?
1. Coliform cells. 2.Total bacteria count

There is a certain amount of coliform in a lot of well water. -The difference is ' Escheria Coli.' Get your well water analysed if you suspect this. E Coli comes mostly from wells in fields where animals graze and defecate.
What is difference in coliform and non-coliform bacteria?

Non-coliform bacteria, on the other hand, refer to bacteria that are not part of the coliform group and may include a wide range of bacterial species with different characteristics and habitats.
What is the coliform cell limit in water by USPH standards?
It is 100 coliform cells for 100 ml water.
2 What is the health based guideline value for Total coliform and fecal coliform group?
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
Is proteus vulgaris a coliform bacteria?

Will coliform grow in high sugar environment?
No, coliform bacteria typically do not grow well in high sugar environments because they are not well suited to metabolizing sugars. High sugar concentrations can actually inhibit their growth and reproduction.
Why high coliform counts in process meat?
