Physicochemical and microbiological analyses of bacterial isolates from drinking water distribution systems of some higher institutions in Edo State, Nigeria

Abstract: In drinking water systems, a large number of microorganisms live in complex communities in a selfproduced extracellular polymeric matrix associated with inner surfaces of pipes, walls and floors of storage tanks, joints and faucets. This study was aimed at analyzing the physicochemical and microbiological characteristics of bacterial isolates of drinking water distribution systems in some higher institutions in Edo State. The physicochemical parameters were determined by using standard protocol and microbiolog… Show more

“…Ezenwaji et al (2016) recorded that increase in biomass of bacteria was as a result of the fermentation of cassava in the cassava steeping site. Similar findings were also reported by different researchers (Eze et al, 2013: Ekhaise andNkwelle, 2011). The variations in the VC, SSC from the various samples could be attributed to the rate and amount of runoff from faecal contaminated land as a result of high precipitation (rainfall) and direct dumping of dirt or defecation in the body of water.…”

“…Colonies were purified by sub culturing using the streak plate method. Isolates that grew on the plates were further sub-cultured on Bijou bottles where they were preserved at 4 °C in refrigerator as described by Ekhaise and Nkwelle (2011).…”
