Using a Bioassay to Measure the Potential Of Polymer Solutions To Support Bacterial Growth

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

We inoculated test solutions of 15 different polymers used in water treatment with two species of bacteria known to grow on a wide variety of molecules. We then measured the…

Effects of Land Use on Water Quality of Streams and Rivers on the Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

We used species composition and relative abundance of aquatic insect populations to measure water quality changes from deforestation, cattle farming and palm oil plantations in seven streams and rivers in…

Biofilm Ecology in Philadelphia’s East Park Distribution System and the Efficacy of Control Strategies

 800 532 Stroud Water Research Center

Most microorganisms in nature grow attached to surfaces, encased in a protective matrix — or biofilm. Our research focuses on the growth and control of microbial biofilm in the East…
