Examples
“By contrast, nonaerogenic coliforms in human feces were only 2.5 per cent of the total coliform strains examined”
“Differential biochemical or physiological characteristics which correlate with aerogenesis at elevated incubation temperatures will be adapted towards a fecal coliform procedure and towards converting a total coliform procedure under development to give a fecal coliform count as well.”
“The three water samples for total coliform bacteria were 57,000 CFUs, 43,000 CFUs and 45,000 CFUs. (Colony-forming units, or CFUs, estimate the number of bacteria or fungal cells that have the ability to multiply in a sample.)”
