METHOD OF DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF FERROBACTERIA IN DRINKING AND INDUSTRIAL WATER-SUPPLY OBJECTS

摘要

FIELD: microbiological assays. SUBSTANCE: number of real ferrobacteria is determined from corresponding amount of ferric oxide (N) deposited on those microorganisms according to relationship: N = AKFe/V where A is the number of ferrobacteria corresponding to 1 mg of ferric ions in 1 ml of test-source, V volume of sample, ml, and KFe amount of ferric ions. EFFECT: improved accuracy and speeded up analytical procedure.
