KEPADATAN BAKTERI COLIFORM DI SUNGAI SEGEDONG KABUPATEN PONTIANAK
ABSTRACT: Coliform bacteria
are microbes which can be used as a biological indicator of pollution of the
water especially the Eschericia Coli bacteria. The aim of this research is to
find out the density of coliform bacteria in Segedong River, Pontianak Regency.
The research was carried out from October 2012 until March 2013 at the Segedong
River, Pontianak Regency. The coliform bacteria were examined in three stages,
i.e. presumtive tes comfirmative test, and data analysis which was conducted at
the Laboratory of Microbiology, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences,
Tanjungpura University Pontianak. The research findings showed that the
bacterial density range was 3,65 X 105 MPN/ 100 ml to 8,81 X 105 MPN/100 ml
when the water of the river rose, and 3,27 x 105 MPN/100 ml to 9,25 x 105
MPN/100 ml when the water of the river was low.
