Abstract

Seasonal estimations of viable bacterial counts (VBC) were performed for Nile River water at two water purification stations during the year 1981-1982 using 5 different enumeration media at 30 or 55°C. In general, the counts varied with the depth, season, locality, enumeration medium and temperature of incubation. Identification of 146 bacterial strains isolated from the different enumeration plates revealed the presence of 14 genera covering 21 species. Suggestions were made to protect the Nile River water from the pollution caused by human waste and sewage.
