ISBN: 1 84057 055 5
Reviews the literature of commercial available techniques for isolating and identifying bacteria from water distribution systems. Evaluates three methods: API, Biolog and Cherlock MIDI using thirty eight water hetrotrophs isolated from borehole, upland and surface/ lowland waters. Concludes that, due to the limited number of water isolates in the databases, none of the systems were suitable.
