Abstract
The objective of this research program was to study the physiology of Caryophanon latum and to develop a selective medium for growing the organism to the exclusion of most, if not all, other organisms found in stream water. After development of this selective medium, the procedure was to be evaluated on sample stream waters with and without inoculation with the organism. The primary goal of this project is the development of a technique for the detection and possible enumeration of organisms of the genus Carophanon in natural waters. Demonstration of the presence of these organisms would prove fecal pollution by ruminants and enumeration methods would make it possible to locate the point of pollution.
