The Organic laboratory in Pretoria undertakes specialised analysis of organic compounds in soil, sediment, water and air samples. The achievements were at first evaluated through the lab journal, and secondly through the two online questionnaires (www.surveymonkey.com), which were distributed to former students back to 2006. 133 26. The completed course gives 10 ECTS points (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). It furthers the University's objective of excellence in research, scholarship, and education by publishing worldwide, This PDF is available to Subscribers Only. In this paper, the results from water analyses performed by the 127 students who attended the course during the last 10 years (2006–2015), are presented.
Filled bottles were closed and brought to the laboratory for analysis within some hours.
The seafood microbiology course we teach at the University of Bergen aims to increase knowledge and understanding of microorganisms associated with seafood, to maintain high food quality and to ensure satisfactory food safety. 2C) and were identifies as presumptive E. coli by inoculation and incubation in EC-broth with an inverted Durham tube for gas collection, and their ability to produce indole from tryptophan examined using Kovac's reagent. However, the enterococci are known to survive better in the environment and may therefore be an indicator for older faecal contamination (Noble, Lee and Schiff 2004). 0000002593 00000 n
To examine the general number of bacteria (aerobic plate count) in the samples, cultivation in Water Plate Count Agar (WPCA) was applied (ISO 6222:2010). 0000005388 00000 n
The students presented the results and answered the following questions in their lab journal: How were the water sample results in your group compared with other groups? Students were approached through e-mails, social media and LinkedIn. Module. In the second questionnaire, the students could answer either ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ on seven statements given about the water analyses. The lab-report genre does have several sections you’ll need to meet in your report, which include: a Purpose Statement, Methods, Results, a Discussion or Conclusion, and References. Noroviruses, are repeatedly related to poor water quality (Adams and Moss 2008; Grøndahl-Rosado et al.2014). If results are still required this year, submit by 2020/11/30 (depending on the number of samples and the type of analysis). The water at this sampling point should resemble the microbiota of seawater, and the number of faecal indicator organisms should be low. 0000004667 00000 n

The criteria for water quality are set by authorities, e.g. Questionnaires used with former students reveal that the laboratory course is highly appreciated, and that many students remember important aspects of the water analyses, even after several years. Water samples from both public and private water systems are examined. Areas with good water quality should hold less than 2.3 and 2.7 log CFU 100 mL−1 (200 and 500 CFU 100 mL−1) for enterococci and E. coli (thermo-tolerant coliforms) (Council Directive 2006/7/EC; European Commission 2006), respectively. Whether you’re studying microbiology in high school or as a college student, you’ll need to write a number of lab reports. The reason for this might be the different weather conditions on the sampling days, where the amount of rainfall the day before and on the actual sampling day (48 h) varied between 2.7 mm (2012) and 29.8 mm (2007), with an average of 8.0 mm (Norwegian Meteorological Institute 2015). Rarely do we find one or two colonies of indicator organisms of faecal contamination. Good water quality is important in many settings, including those found for all drinking water systems, during food production and in fresh- and seawater for recreation and bathing activity. For thermo-tolerant coliforms, m-FC agar (Difco) was used and plates were incubated in a temperate water bath at 44.5 ± 0.2°C for 22 ± 2 h. Blue colonies were counted (Fig. Globally, huge efforts are put into improving and monitoring drinking water safety, but still it is estimated that 1.1 billion people have water sources regularly contaminated with faecal microorganisms (Bain et al.2014; World Health Organization 2014). Singh
The seafood microbiology course runs annually at the University of Bergen.
For coliforms, m-Endo-LES agar (Difco) was used and incubated at 37 ± 2°C for 22 ± 2 h. All red colonies with metallic shine were counted (Fig. Download your preferred Microbiology report format along with account information and invoices through LABConnect 24Hours / 7 Days. 2C). Data in hydrobiology, microbiology and chemistry are produced. The results from every lab course are compiled and sent to the governmental body in charge of the water quality of the chosen area, i.e. The objectives for the students were to learn the methods for water analyses and important principles in microbiology through the laboratory practical.

The plate count on WPCA in the fish tanks varies from year to year, where the average over 10 years was 1.8 log CFU mL−1. Good water quality is important in many settings, including those found for all drinking water systems, during food production and in fresh- and seawater for recreation and bathing activity. Cecilie Smith Svanevik, Bjørn Tore Lunestad, Microbiological water examination during laboratory courses generates new knowledge for students, scientists and the government, FEMS Microbiology Letters, Volume 362, Issue 20, October 2015, fnv151, https://doi.org/10.1093/femsle/fnv151. 2 Content • Introduction – What does the future hold for microbiological water AQC?
Sample Point 7).
However, in those cases where the criteria were not met, a local aquarium with sea lions and penguins tends to get the blame, along with tidal current and heavy precipitation as reasons for this. et al. We suspect that the level of contamination changes along the peninsula, and that the water samples collected at the inner harbour are more contaminated than those from the swimming area, which should resemble the general microbiota of seawater. Their presence indicates that a pathway for contamination exists and organisms that cause disease may be present, even though total coliforms themselves typically do not cause disease in healthy individuals. Important Information Related to Drinking Water Analysis Type of Drinking Water System . Such methods apply detection of certain groups of bacteria that function as indicators for faecal contamination, a principle that had already been suggested in the 19th century (Schardinger 1892; Smith 1895). 0000026412 00000 n

In water systems with inadequate quality control and sanitation, water could act as a vehicle for pathogenic microorganisms that originate from the faeces of wildlife including birds, livestock and pet animals, as well as humans. (C) Membrane filters (0.45 μm pores) incubated on m-Endo-LES agar (left) and m-FC agar (right) for coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms, respectively. Here the students should evaluate the results from their group and compare the findings with other groups. For microbial contaminants like coliform bacteria or the parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis, the results will indicate whether the analyte is "Present" or "Absent." Contaminated water is globally the main vehicle for microbial pathogens in most regions. The results are submitted to the NFSA, and any non-conforming results will lead to new sampling from the NFSA. As noted a set of 10 PT tests must be analyzed at least once each year, in the fall quarter. In total 27 students, representing all years but 2011, replied.

Rand Water Analytical Services is fully accredited by the South African National Accreditation System (SANAS) and demonstrates the organisation’s acceptance of international quality standards. Total Coliform (Bacteria) Testing. Most students understand that the bacteria would have to originate from the fish itself. We encourage all students to discuss their results with a scientific approach, including evaluation of errors and factors that might influence the bacterial numbers. On one occasion, however, the students detected enterococci at a concentration of 10 CFU 100 mL−1 (1 log CFU 100 mL−1). Despite help on how to do this, many students find this challenging. Therefore, prior to any laboratory practical, the students are lectured about laboratory safety, including the most common routes of infections and the most frequent laboratory-acquired infections (Weinstein and Singh 2009). Students report results from the water samples in the laboratory journal, together with the answers to the questions provided. Key elements in microbiology, laboratory practice and scientific evaluation introduced for students during water examination and evaluation. This paper presents a complete experimental design for water analyses as a tool to teach students the methods and other key elements in microbiology, including food safety, environmental dissemination and survival of microorganisms, laboratory practices, water legislation and critical evaluation of results. Water samples from rivers, lakes and streams may contain bacteria called saprophytes (Brown 2011). Faecal contamination of water is routinely detected by microbiological analysis. It is important to teach future employees in the food industry not only about the technical processes, but also about quality and safety of the end product, i.e. A and B designate tanks supplied with treated seawater originating near the bottom at station 3, and used for keeping live fish at the Bergen fish market.

Still, several students find the exam task about dilutions difficult to solve. Milligrams per liter (mg/l) of water are used for substances like metals and nitrates. 2B). An important feature of the report is the units used to measure the contaminant level in your water. 0000003167 00000 n
The questionnaire results were consistent with our perception that some students find calculation of dilutions difficult to comprehend. Water is used in many steps of the microbial culture process – culture medium is 99 % water – and it is vital to avoid contamination that negatively impacts results. Enterococci are present in lower numbers (105–106 CFU g−1 for Enterococcus faecalis, the quantitatively most important of the enterococci) in human faeces than E. coli (106–109 CFU g−1) (Forsythe 2010). A repeated argument for the high values of faecal indicator organisms at the innermost part of the city harbour (Sampling Points 1–3), though difficult to acutally check, is that the small boats and yachts do not obey the regulations on keeping their septic system closed when moored.
