Abstract
Fifty water samples were collected in Khartoum state from different
sources, and investigated with the Multiple Tube Fermentation Technique
for total and thermotolerant coliforms and with Membrane Filtration
Technique for total coliforms only.
Results of the study showed that Multiple Tube Fermentation
Technique was more sensitive than Membrane Filtration Technique.
Thermotolerant coliforms were detected in (60%) of samples from tap
water of well source while in only (30%) of samples from tap water of river
source.
Thermotolerant coliforms were detected in 10% water samples from
periodically cleaned water tanks and from 20% water samples from
uncleaned tanks.
