Effect of low temperatures on growth, structure, and metabolism of Campylobacter coli SP10
Article Abstract:
Campylobacter coli SP10 was subjected to temperatures normally encountered in Central European aquatic systems to explore the effects of low temperatures on the survival, structure and metabolism of campylobacters. Results indicated that low temperatures had a significant effect on C. coli SP10. All experiments conducted showed that the injury was greatest at 20 degrees C. Survival was shortest at 10 and 20 degrees C, coupled with distinct morphological and physiological alterations. Fatty acid composition and production of metabolites were influenced by intermediate temperatures.

Enteric viruses of humans and animals in aquatic environments: Health risks, detection, and potential water quality assessment tools
Article Abstract:
An insight on the role of enteric viruses as pathogens of both humans and other animals and the risks presented from waterborne exposure is presented. The potential for these host-specific pathogens to be used as an additional tool in water quality studies and fecal source tracking is highlighted.
