What is Bacteriological eutrophication indicators in four Colombian water bodies (South America) about?
For the first time in Colombia the relative abundance of __Pseudomonas__ spp., __Vibrio__ spp., __Plesiomonas shigelloides__, the __Aeromonas hydrophila__ group, and the faecal and total coliforms were studied in three dams and a natural lagoon with a different trophic state. Coliforms were low in all the water bodies, but their number was greater in the dams with a greater anthropic activity. __Vibrio__ spp. was not detected. The density of __P. shigelloides__ was irregular. __Pseudomonas__ spp. was always present and showed relatively high abundance. The bacteria of the __A. hydrophila__ group were constant and their numbers increased with the trophic state, for which they could be indicators of the eutrophication phenomena. Significant correlation (__P__ < 0.05) was established between total and faecal coliforms and pH, transparency, nitrites, nitrates, and orthophosphates. __P. shigelloides__ was correlated with faecal coliforms and __Aeromonas hydrophila__ with total coliforms and transparency.
