Comparative Analysis Of The Microbiological And Physicochemical Characteristics Of Grey water Sources In Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria.:- Mgbeokwere, Ebubechi U
ABSTRACT
The
Comparative analysis of the Microbiological and physico chemical
characteristics of greywater samples in Umuahia were carried out. The total
heterotrophic plate count ranged from 8.1x10° to 1.11x10cfu/ml,
Salmonella-Shigella count ranged from 3.9x10° to 5.0x10cfu/ml, Escherichia coli
count ranged from 2.0x10° to 3.3x10cfu/ml, Enterobacter aerogenes count ranged
from 3.0x10° to 3.9x10cfu/ml, the fungal count ranged from 1.5x10° to 4.2x
10cfu/ml while the coliform count ranged from 2100MPN/100ml to ll000MPN/IO0ml.
The microorganisms isolated and their percentage occurence were Enterobacter
aerogenes (23.8%), Proteus species (9.52%), Escherichia coli (28.57%),
Pseudomonas aeroginosa (19.05%), Salmonella species (14.29%), Staphylococcus
aureus (4.76%), Rhizopus species (20%), Penicillium species (20%), Aspergillus
species (40%), Trichoderma species (20%). The results showed that the effluent
samples were contaminated heavily with known pathogenic microorganisms and
should therefore be treated before reuse. This study suggests the need for
greywater to be treated properly before reuse
