Presumptive coliform count by multiple tube test was done. The study revealed that 570 (47.5%) samples were unfit for human consumption. Of all the samples tested, 63/110(57.3%) samples from religious places, 28/56(50%) from hospitals, 25/50(50%) from bus stands/railway stations, 84/190(44.4%) from schools, 32/100(32%) from BSF checkposts, 5/19(26.5%) from hotels and 3/25(12%) from ice factories were found to be unsatisfactory. Out of the 570 unsatisfactory samples detected, 72% samples from submersible pumps,50% from hand pumps, 45.4% from taps,29.2% from tube wells and 28.5% from domestic tap supply were found to be contaminated. On Eijkman test 20/25(80%) of the suspicious samples turned out to be unsatisfactory.

Pseudomonas fluorescens possess a variety of promising properties which make it a better biocontrol agent. The objectives of the present study were to isolate P.fluorescens from soil, to check its antagonistic activity and effect of its secondary metabolites on three fungal plant pathogens by in vitro techniques. P.fluorscens was isolated from rhizosphere soil on King’s B medium and its antagonistic effect on three fungal plant pathogens was studied in vitro. Its antagonistic activity was checked by co-inoculation with the fungal isolates. In pour plate method, P.fluorescens on coinoculation with fugal pathogens decreased their growth rate. Maximum inhibition was observed in Pythium ultimim (80%) followed by Macrophomina phaseolina (70%) and Pyricularia oryzae (50%). Effect of the separated secondary metabolites on the fungal growth by broth dilution technique and antifungal activity by agar well diffusion technique was studied. P.fluorescens produces a broad-spectrum antifungal compound, which inhibits a variety of plant Pathogenic fungi and inhibits Pythium ultimim more when compared to other plant pathogens in the present study. Further investigations on the type of antifungal components and in vivo experiments will make P.fluorescens as one of the most suitable biocontrol agent in suppressing the phytopathogenic fungi and replace chemical fungicides.","PeriodicalId":22514,"journal":{"name":"The Internet journal of microbiology","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79213079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
