Modeling Fecal Indicator Bacteria Concentrations in Natural Surface Waters: A Review (2014, background): “…substituted to coliform enumeration as there is evidence from epidemiological studies (Kay et al., 2004) that E. coli and enterococci are better bacterial indicators than coliforms to predict the sanitary risk associated with waters (Edberg et al., 2000; Leclerc et al., 2001; Tallon et al., 2005).”
Graphene oxide functionalized with ethylenediamine triacetic acid for heavy metal adsorption and anti-microbial applications (2014, background): “subtilis is commonly utilized as a model organism for toxicity studies [48,49].”
