“…The use of total and faecal coliforms as indicators of faecal pollution in surface waters in international regulations has been abandoned in recent years because of the discovery that certain species belonging to this group are not of faecal origin (Gauthier and Archibald, 2001).…”

Problem statement: Serious health problems and other economic costs related to water treatment, remediation and locating a new water supply, become an evidence of water pollution caused by human activities. The main problems of the Danube River basin are associated with nutrients, organic pollution and hazardous pollutants. The aim of the study is to assess the surface water of the Danube in Budapest for sustainability of human and environment health. The relation between O 2 and Chl-a content of the samples, clearly shows that the cause of high dissolved O 2 content in the water lies in accelerated primary production. Enumerations of both total and fecal Coliforms are continuously growing during the investigation periods. These results suggested that bacteriological properties can be a specific indicator of fecal contamination and organic pollution. With large numbers of new chemical substances entering the river ecosystem, continuous monitoring systems for their detection will become increasingly important with respect to environmental effects they produce, in addition to other toxic effects. The challenges to continuous physical, chemical, biological and bacteriological monitoring will be immense.

“…Enterobacter, Klebsiella and Citrobacter species are common in soil, healthy and decaying wood and in plants and also appear to be normal inhabitants in many paper machines [2,24,25,33,47]. According to a Canadian study, these bacteria grew continuously in many of the mills studied with the most likely growth areas being paper machines, biofilms on machinery and piping and the primary clarifier [15]. Polysaccharide-producing enterobacteria were found especially in the Finnish mill B and in the Spanish mill, slimy bacteria belonging to, e.g.…”

In this study, polysaccharide-producing bacteria were isolated from slimes collected from two Finnish and one Spanish paper mill and the exopolysaccharides (EPSs) produced by 18 isolates were characterised. Most of the isolates, selected on the bases of slimy colony morphology, were members of the family Enterobacteriaceae most frequently belonging to the genera Enterobacter and Klebsiella including Raoultella. All of the EPSs analysed showed the presence of charged groups in the form of uronic acid or pyruvate revealing the polyanionic nature of these polysaccharides. Further results of the carbohydrate analysis showed that the EPS produced by nine of the enterobacteria was colanic acid.
