Abstract:
Objective To detect the spores of sulfite-reducing anaerobes in water. Methods At first the assay on form of the spores was accomplished, then reducing incubation was used to observe the change of the medium color. It indicated that sodium sulfite was reduced if the color of the medium became to black and positive result was able to be determined. Results 54 specimens including pure water, mineral water, secondary drinking water, source water for drinking, swimming pool water and cooling water of air conditioner were assayed. Sulfite-reducing anaerobes were found in 5 specimens of 7 source water samples and the other specimens showed negative results. The detection rate was 9.2%. Conclusion The determination of the spores of sulfite-reducing anaerobes in water was helpful to predict the contaminative degree and situation of water resource, and provide the scientific basis for prevention and control of water pollution.
