SULPHATE REDUCING BACTERIA TEST KIT

Desulfovibrio is usually the predominant genus in mixed culture of sulfate reducing bacteria. They play most important role in the water and wastewater field. Desulfuricans reduces sulfates and other sulfur compounds to hydrogen sulphide. These organisms are a major problem to the petroleum industry as they cause corrosion to iron pipes leading to perforations in the oil well system pipes. They are widely distributed in nature and are present in most soils and waters but other types of bacteria except in special environment bacteria out number them. Microbial analysis of water or deposit sample collected from the system may be performed either by laboratory analysis or by field analysis. The basic procedure for both of these techniques involves the addition of water or deposit sample: into a container to which nutrients have been added and incubation of the sample. The field test is relatively simpler and substantially cheaper as it does not require great deal of training or expertise.
