A very simple, easy to perform & user-friendly screening test for monitoring of Drinking water sources.
Presence of coliform bacteria in drinking water is associated with hydrogen sulphide (H2S) - producing
organisms, and faecal pollution of water can be established by demonstration of H2S production.
Some examples of such micro organisms are Enterobacteriacea sp. (eg. Citrobacter), Clostridium,
Citrobacter, Proteus, etc.
