Comprehensive sanitary survey evaluation of high risk beaches in northern Wisconsin
(2014-06)
In 2008 13% of Great Lakes beaches exceeded health standards; approximately
90% of those exceedances were attributed to unknown pollution sources. In this project,
sanitary surveys were conducted at all impaired beaches ...
MATHEMATICAL MODELS TO PREDICT Escherichia coli CONCENTRATIONS AT WISCONSIN BEACHES (MULTIPLE YEAR COMPARISIONS)
(2010-08)
Beach water quality is determined using Escherichia coli as an indicator organism for fecal contamination. Traditional methods may result in improper beach closures and openings, as they base their decisions on previous ...
DEVELOPING MATHEMATICAL MODELS FOR PREDICTING Escherichia coli CONCENTRATIONS AT WISCONSIN BEACHES USING REGRESSIONS
(2009-08)
The traditional methods to quantitatively determine Escherichia coli concentrations in beach water are the membrane filtration and defined substrate methods. These methods take 18-24 hours for enumeration of E. coli ...
Detection of escherichia coli in northern Lake Michigan waters using qpcr method c
(2018-09-17)
The defined substrate method, Colilert® (IDEXX, Westbrook, ME), is currently the most widely used method approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) to detect Escherichia coli and total coliforms ...
Cladophora promotes escherichia coli growth and contamination of recreational waters in Lake Michigan
(2010-01-07)
In recent years, thick mats of the green alga, Cladophora, have washed onto
beaches along Lake Michigan. These mats become stranded on the shoreline, begin to
rot, and are malodorous. The rotting mats are a nuisance to ...
A Genomic View of Escherichia Coli Diversity from Dairy Calves
(2019-05)
Escherichia coli is a model organism for the scientific community but there are
still numerous gaps in our knowledge, including its diversity within the gastrointestinal
tract of dairy calves and those that survive within ...
