Molecular diagnostic methods are increasingly applied for food and environmental analysis. Since several steps involved in sample processing which can affect the outcome (e.g., adhesion of DNA to matrix, inefficient precipitation DNA, pipetting errors (partial) loss pellet during isolation), quality control is essential at all levels. In soil microbiology, particular attention has been paid inorganic component matrix affecting extractability. water testing, however, this aspect mostly...
One of the main impacts urban sprawl in rapidly growing countries has been contamination coastal environments by waterborne pathogens, posing a critical risk to ecosystem and human health. Microbial source tracking (MST) robust tool identify origin these pathogens globally. This study compared occurrence human‐associated Bacteroides marker (BT‐α) with faecal indicator bacteria (FIB) an estuary (Golden Horn, Istanbul, Turkey). Faecal coliform (culture method), enterococci (both culture qPCR...
After the 1970’s, an unprecedented urbanization and industrial activities have resulted in severe inland coastal water degradation Turkey. Infrastructure investment wastewater management has fallen behind schedule due to lack of required extensive financing implement large projects. On other hand, land-use planning been overlooked increased demand for housing legal gaps that weaken enforcement respect. Turkey is updating its regulations within framework current EU directives after becoming a...
Abstract Drawing on responses from 238 beachgoers who have visited a Georgia (U.S. state) beach in the past three years, this study asks respondents about their knowledge of water quality monitoring, awareness health advisories, perception quality, and expected upon learning beach's pollution advisory. Binomial logistic regression finds that only demographic predictor would completely stop visiting with an advisory is whether respondent visitor or resident (year-round part-time). Nearly 40%...
This study aimed to determine the microbial water quality of Imrahor Pond by enumerating coliform bacteria levels in area. Water samples were collected biweekly from surface and bottom waters at seven points pond. Samples analyzed for total coliforms, Escherichia coli, physicochemical parameters (water temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, nitrate) 1-day rainfall. The average values TC E. coli 1487.4 36.3 MPN/100 ml, respectively. concentrations/physicochemical met...
Posidonia oceanica (Linnaeus) Delile 1813 is an endemic and the most widespread seagrass species of the
 Mediterranean Sea. Seagrass meadows are one productive ecosystems on Earth, providing habitat to
 numerous organisms. Therefore, mapping crucial importance for conservation and
 coastal management purposes. Here we present integrated geographic information system approach with
 SCUBA diving, a cost effective method to monitor beds at shallow habitats. In this
...
Recreational water-related activities have important public health benefits, however, pollution at beaches may serious risks. Although there is a substantial amount of research and policies in place federal state levels, oftentimes these efforts not be well translated to the public. This paper evaluates effectiveness routine water quality monitoring warning systems Georgia, USA. A survey was conducted among 238 beachgoers asking about awareness signs for beach advisories. Surveys were...
