Isolation, iron and Oxidizing bacteria

Iron oxidizing bacteria were isolated on winogradsky medium from samples of tap water, iron reservoir, wells, borehole and scratched rusted water-borne pipe collected in Gwale Local Government, Ungogo Local Government and Kano Munincipal, Kano State, Nigeria. The bacterial viable count was ranged from to in Gwale while ungogo ranged from to . Also for Kano Munincipal ranged from to The bacterial isolates were all Gram negative bacilli observed microscopically. The apropriate biochemical test such as indole, methyl red (MR), citrate utilization, vogues proskauer (VP), catalase, oxidase and sugar fermentation (glucose, lactose and sucrose) were done. And the biochemical characterization were comfirmed the presence of Galionella ferruginea, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, klebseilla Pneumonia and Thiobacillus thioxidans. Therefore Ungogo show the highest percentages occurrence of the identified bacteria with 41.7%.
