LT2 – Long Term 2 Surface Water rule, which encompasses Cryptosporidium and other
bacteria in drinking water.
CFU – colony forming units of bacteria
MPN – Most probable number
Colilert – detects coliforms and E. coli in water. Can be used in conjunction with MPN
Rosolic Acid – inhibits most bacterial growth except for fecal coliforms
EC media – an ideal agar for the growth of E. coli
Membrane filtration – filters E. coli, then grow in order to determine the amount present
