Samples from each depth interval were analyzed for total C concentration and stock, humic substances, labile-C, and microbial biomass C. In addition, indicators of microbiological activity, such as basal respiration, microbial quotient, and metabolic quotient, were determined for the two shallow layers.
Sputum Gram stain and culture have been said to be unreliable indicators of the microbiological diagnosis of bacterial pneumonia.
Further research is required on Aeromonas spp. as potential indicators of both microbiological quality and health risk along with design and maintenance strategies to minimise contamination of potable roof-collected rainwater supplies.
When the Monte Carlo simulation is applied to predict an optimal dose of fluoroquinolones, the target value of AUC0−24/MIC ratio against causative bacteria is important as a surrogate indicator of clinical and microbiological effectiveness.
Growing-season temperature, numbers of warm days or annual time of wetness, are other possible indicators for microbiological growth in Ireland's climate.
Faecal Coliform (FC) bacteria were used as Faecal Indicator Organisms (FIOs) for assessment of microbiological pollution risk in two large, mixed land use catchments in Scotland.
Dancer (2004) has proposed S. aureus as an indicator of hospital hygiene for microbiological standards.
The use of multiple indicators for tracking fecal contamination could circumvent the problem of single marker absence or presence and strengthen overall diagnoses of microbiological water quality [6], [7], [8], [9], [11].
In this study, we explore c-q hysteresis plots and pollutographs for a variety of inorganic solutes (Cl−, Na+, K+, SiO2, NO3−), dissolved organic carbon and an indicator of the aromatic fraction (SUVA254), and a microbiological indicator (E. coli) in an urban salted watershed.
