Contractor: ABC Drilling
| Sample
Number N/A Bacterial Identification, Counts, & Information Time N/A |
|
| Nutrient plate count | 22 colonies per milliliter |
| Bacterial Identification | Commamonas testosteroni |
| ATP count | 122,000 million cells per milliliter |
| Sulfate Reducing Bacteria | Positive |
| Microscopic analysis | Minor bacterial growths, no iron oxidizing bacteria noted |
| Notes | Iron 0.5 ppm, TDS 295 ppm |
| Coliform Bacteria | Negative |
| Fecal Coliform | Negative |
Interpretation
Seven separate observations are used to identify bacterial problems, 1
& 2. Nutrient plate which includes identification and colony counts
of aerobic bacteria, 3. ATP which is a separate count of all living organisms
in water, 4. Microscopic Analysis which is a filtered sample that includes
ID of any iron bacteria present along with any iron oxides from decaying
organisms, and 5. Notes which allows some other points of chemical interest.
6. Coliform bacteria. and 7. Fecal coliform bacteria.
