Metabolic identification of germs isolated from ozonized water mixed with underground water
- Laboratoires de la Compagnie Intercommunale Bruxelloise des Eaux, Brussels (Belgium)
Twenty bacterial strains having shown a characteristic regrowth, starting from surface water treated and ozonized and then mixed with water of underground origin have been isolated. After verification of the purity of these strains, their preliminary identification has been attempted by utilizing more than 60 tests. The identification was limited to biochemical tests based on the following types of metabolism: energetic metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, lipid metabolism, proteic metabolism, nutritional metabolism, and utilization of special media. In support of the results, one is able to affirm that the 20 strains belong to seven families consisting of Pseudomonadaceae, Bacillaceae, the group of Coryneformes, the Azotobactericeae, Micrococcaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Vibrionaceae.
