Microbiological examination of column water in Terengganu (kualiti mikrobiologi turus air di Terengganu, Malaysia)

The microbiological quality of rural column water at Terengganu was determined. Coliform (E.coli), algae, fungi and total count of bacteria were used indicators for the hygienic quality of the Kuala Terengganu water. Membrane filter method and direct count method were applied for the purpose of dete...
