RESUMO
A comparative study was made of nine commonly used membrane filters from five manufacturers, all recommended for enumeration of coliform bacteria. Bacterial recoveries and flow rates were examined from three types of water and were found to correlate with the surface pore structure determined by scanning electron microscopy. The sorption of metals was also determined. The results of these studies indicate that the five best membranes for fecal coliform recovery could be placed in two groups: Millipore HC and Gelman, followed by Johns-Manville SG and AG and Sartorius 13806.
