Fecal coliforms vs coliforms
[edit]I have undone the edit introduced by IP 129.2.129.16 in the Wikipedia article entitled "Fecal coliform" which excluded Enterobacter from the list of non-fecal origin bacteria. The argument for this exclusion was a statement made by an on line document, found at the URL http://depts.alverno.edu/nsmt/archive/UnruhDuelge.htm (authors Duelge and Unruh), which classified Enterobacter as a fecal coliform. This document, which cites the journal article "Brion Gail, Mao, Huazhong. 2002. Use of Total Coliform Test for Watershed Monitoring with Respect to Atypicals. Journal of Environmental Engineering, 126: 175-181." as the source of this statement, is not a peer-reviewed information source (it actually looks like a report generated by two students as part of a course they were taking - no offense intended!). Unfortunately I cannot retrieve the publication by Brion and Mao (no journal subscription) to verify the accuracy of the document written by Duelge and Unruh. I can, however, verify that in order to be classified as a fecal coliform, a bacterial strain must fit into the coliform classification AND it must also be able to ferment lactose with gas production in up to 48 hours at a temperature of 44.5°C (please also see Wikipedia article on Enterobacter). Because Enterobacter cannot fulfill this second criterion, it cannot be classified as a fecal coliform. The reason for exclusion of Enterobacter from the list (within the Wikipedia article entitled "Fecal coliform") is therefore not a valid one in my opinion.
If you disagree, please feel free to comment here, but please back up your argument with verifiable, trusted sources of information :) Schoenhg (talk) 12:51, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
