- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates the efficiency of the dual-layer filtration system in assessing enterococci and coliphage concentration from marine waters. The method employs the dual-filtration set-up which contains two membranes, wherein the first membrane is designed to remove bacteria based on the exclusion size, while the second membrane is designed to capture virus based on membrane adsorption. The concentration of the microorganism was assessed in the water samples from the beach water of the Miami-Dade County, Florida using MS2 coliphage and enterococcus fecalis test organism. The result shows that the system can effectively assess the concentration of microorganism, as supported by the 83 ± 14% of the filtered bacteria and 81 ± 28% permeated virus.
