A Comparison Study of Microbial Enzyme Activities and Coliforms in the Sediments of a Fecally-Contaminated Tennessee Stream Relative to Season and Land Use
Enzymes react quickly to environmental stress and can serve as sensitive indicators of environmental change. Microbial enzyme activities (MEA’s) can be a useful tool to evaluate the health of an aquatic ecosystem. In this study we compared the trends of MEA’s (µg/g) to total and fecal coliform conce...
