Bacteria and viruses — indicators of environmental changes occurring in estuaries
Abstract Microorganisms are useful indicators of alterations in the natural environment. As presently employed, however, “indicator organisms” such as fecal coliforms and total coliforms have severe limitations. Other organisms have been proposed in recent years as potential indicator organisms, viz. Streptococci, Clostridia, and pseudomonads. The indicator organism concept is reviewed and recommendations for future studies are made. In particular, detection, isolation, and identification of viruses, effects of pollutants on the natural microbial flora, and reevaluation of microbial indicators are critical areas requiring research.
