Does rainwater contain uric acid?
No
Differentiate a coliform an enteric that in not a coliform and enterococci Give an example of an organism in each group?
Coliforms are a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, such as E. coli. Enterococci are also intestinal bacteria, but they do not produce gas from lactose fermentation like coliforms. An example of a non-coliform enteric bacteria is Enterobacter aerogenes. An example of an enterococci is Enterococcus faecalis.
What are lactobacilli and coliform are examples of?
Lactobacilli and coliforms are examples of bacteria that are commonly found in various environments. Lactobacilli are beneficial bacteria primarily associated with fermentation processes, such as in yogurt production, and play a role in gut health. Coliforms, on the other hand, are a group of bacteria commonly found in the environment, particularly in soil and fecal matter, and are often used as indicators of water quality and sanitation. Both types of bacteria are important in microbiology and public health.
Why are coliforms used as indicator organisms if they are not usually pathogens?
Coliforms are used as a indicator organism because they are abundant in matrix, easy to find, cost effective. Coliforms has frequently been used in water testing because of all of these benefits.
Does rainwater contain urine?
No, rainwater is formed when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and falls to the ground as precipitation. Urine is excreted by animals, including humans, and is commonly not mixed with rainwater.
What is another word for poo bacteria?

What is a presumptive test?

What are the names for bathroom bacteria?
Coliforms E. coli is one example
Are coliforms gram-positive or gram negative?
Coliforms are typically gram-negative bacteria, characterized by their ability to ferment lactose. However, some coliform bacteria can exhibit varying characteristics, including gram-positive features.
Does rainwater contain minerals?
Yes, rainwater can contain minerals that it picks up as it falls through the atmosphere and interacts with the environment.
Why do the membrane filtration and the colilert IDEXX technique for measuring fecal coliforms in waste water produce discrepant results?
The membrane filter / agar plates produce colonies from bacteria that can grow on the agar you are using (not all fecal coliforms can). The Colilert will turn color if the bacteria have the enzyme to metabolize substrates in the Colilert (not all do). If all fecal coliform bacteria could grow on the agar and all fecal Coliforms had the right enzymes you'd get the same numbers.
Does rainwater contain uric acid?
No
Why rainwater is not acidic?
because it does not contain acid
Are coliforms spore-formers?
No, coliforms are not spore-formers. They are a group of bacteria, primarily belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, that are typically found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. Coliforms are characterized by their ability to ferment lactose and do not produce spores. Instead, they reproduce through binary fission and are used as indicators of fecal contamination in water and food.
What microorganisms besides coliforms are liable to give positive presumptive test?
Microorganisms like coliforms are liable to give a positive presumptive test. Other types of organisms include gram negative bacteria like E. coli.

Coliforms are a type of bacteria commonly found in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, such as E. coli. Enterococci are also intestinal bacteria, but they do not produce gas from lactose fermentation like coliforms. An example of a non-coliform enteric bacteria is Enterobacter aerogenes.

What does sea water contain that is not found in rainwater?
