| Abstract: | Influent and effluent samples from urban wastewater plants were examined for presumptive Aeromonas. Removal efficiency was comparatively low for both presumptive Aeromonas (96.5%) and faecal coliforms (95.8%). Starch ampicillin agar (SA) medium was superior to mA medium for selectivity, with 32.3% of typical colonies confirmed as Aeromonas spp., and for the recovery of Aer. veronii biotype veronii. |
