Quantifying Adsorption of an Indicator Bacteria In A Soil - Water System

Two experiments were conducted to investigate and quantify the weak and strong adsorption of an indicator bacterium (Escherichia coli) in soil-water systems composed of Tangi silt loam (14% clay) or Commerce clay loam (35% clay). Percent adsorption of E. coli was significantly higher in Commerce cla...
