The MPN method involves taking the original solution or sample, and subdividing it by orders of magnitude (frequently 10× or 2×), and assessing presence/absence in multiple subdivisions. The degree of dilution at which absence begins to appear indicates that the items have been diluted so much that there are many subsamples in which none appear.
A 2006 measurement of pollution in the Ganges revealed that river water monitoring over the previous 12 years had shown fecal coliform counts of up to 100,000,000 MPN per 100 mL [29] and biological oxygen demand levels averaging over 40 mg/L in the most polluted part of the river at Varanasi. The overall rate of water-borne disease incidence ...
Nine major point sources of pollution exist within the municipality, with Sreenathpur (2.799 MLD) and Basko Khal (3.638 MLD) contributing significantly to sewage levels, both having a high BOD of 48 mg/L and fecal coliform counts of 900,000 MPN/100 mL and 230,000 MPN/100 mL, respectively.
A prior understanding of the microscopic anatomy of the organism can give a better understanding of how the observed CFU/mL relates to the number of viable cells per milliliter. Alternatively it is possible to decrease the average number of cells per CFU in some cases by vortexing the sample before conducting the dilution. However, many ...

The presence of fecal coliform in aquatic environments may indicate that the water has been contaminated with the fecal material of humans or other animals. Fecal coliform bacteria can enter rivers through direct discharge of waste from mammals and birds, from agricultural and storm runoff, and from human sewage.
