Cladophora (chlorophyta) spp. Harbor human bacterial pathogens in nearshore water of Lake Michigan
Article Abstract:
A study is conducted to demonstrate whether attached Cladophora, obtained from Lake Michigan and Burns Ditch sides of a breakwater during the summers of 2004 and 2005, harbored the bacterial pathogens Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella and Campylobacter. Analyses of DNA fingerprint indicated that genotypically identical Salmonella isolates associated with geographically separated Cladophora algae.

Solar and temporal effects on Escherichia coli concentration at a Lake Michigan swimming beach
Article Abstract:
The study is conducted only up to a certain extent over the solar inactivation of Escherichia coli in freshwater. The Lake Michigan has nontidal waters and so the impact of diurnal solar impact is straight forward and simply noticeable, but in swimming waters the effects of the solar inactivation of Escherichia coli would have a straight effect on the policies of the management to take care of the health of the public.
