توضیحات
Pseudomonas are bacteria found in waters that contain oxygen and are rich in organic pollutants (such as gasoline and solvents). The presence of Pseudomonas in samples indicates aerobic biodegradation in the system, which will result in sediment formation. Pseudomonas are capable of producing fluorescent dyes that are dangerous from a health perspective. In general, the quicker the turbidity and fluorescent color appear, the more aggressive the bacteria are.
Pseudomonas are the cause of many problems in water samples, including the formation of slime masses, turbidity, bad taste and odor, corrosion, biodegradation, and health problems. Pseudomonas usually produce a fishy or white oil odor.
Test
Test
Manufacturer’s recommendation:
- Do not touch or contaminate the inside of the test tube or the tube. Use sterile methods.
- When taken in the tube, place the lid directly on a clean surface to prevent contamination.
Test
1- Pour 20 milliliters of the sample into the test tube and tightly close the lid.
2- Write the date and name of the sample on the label.
3- Incubate the tube at room temperature (25 degrees Celsius) and away from sunlight.
4- Check the results daily for 8 days.
5- Place the kits under a UV lamp to observe the fluorescent color.
results interpretation
results interpretation
Test for the presence/absence of Pseudomonas bacteria
- Presence: Positive/growth: By placing the kit under the UV lamp, fluorescence is observed around the swab.
- Negative growth/Non-invasive: By placing the kit under the UV lamp, no fluorescence is observed around the ball.
If the test result is positive, examine the test tubes for the dominant bacteria.
Examine the results based on the growth pattern of the bacteria.
- Cloudiness without fluorescence, without shine: Pseudomonas
- Yellow-greenish color with fluorescence: Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Estimate the aggressive potential of Pseudomonas bacteria
If the test result is positive, estimate the bacterial population and invasion level according to the following table. A faster reaction occurs when the bacterial population is high.
