Project

Assessment of Microbial Indicators for Monitoring Recreational Water Quality in Marine Sub/Tropical Environments (Recreational Microbes)

Microbial water quality indicators are found in high concentrations in sewage, and are thus used to determine whether or not a water body is safe for recreational purposes. Recently, concerns have been raised about the appropriate use of microbial indicators ...
