Abstract

Bacteriological examination of spring water in Jeju City was conducted. A total of 21 spring water samples were collected from January to April, 2010. During the study period, the range of temperature was 0.6 to $15.4^{\circ}C$, and the results of the analyses showed that hydrogen ion concentrations (pH) for spring water were 0.43 to 7.9. Salinity levels for the samples averaged from 3.0 to 1.64%, and levels of water-dissolved oxygen were 1.85 to 6.06 mg/l. The range of total coliforms in spring water samples at 21 stations located in the designated spring water were <1.8->1,600 MPN/100 ml. Furthermore, the range of geometric means of total coliforms was 9.9-151.6 MPN/100 ml, while the range of fecal coliforms in spring water samples at 21 stations located in the designated spring water area was <1.8->1,600 MPN/100 ml. Finally, the range of geometric mean of fecal coliforms was 3.1-151.6 MPN/100 ml. The level of microbial contamination was examined in 21 samples for indications of bacterial contamination such as heterotrophic bacteria, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Shigella spp. were frequently detected in the spring water. Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and S. aureus were detected in the range of $0-0.5{\times}10^1$, $0-0.1{\times}10^1$, $0-0.1{\times}10^1$, and $0-0.3{\times}10^1$ CFU/ml, respectively, while E. coli O157:H7 was not detected in the examined spring water samples.

본 연구는 2010년 1월부터 4월까지 제주도 제주시 해안가에 위치한 21곳의 용천수를 대상으로 하여 미생물학적 오염도를 조사하였다. 용천수의 이화학적 분석 및 수질환경기준에 포함되는 병원성 미생물외에 식중독 유발 및 인체에 유해한 식품병원성 미생물 중 총대장균군수, 분원성대장균, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus를 조사하였다. 이화학적 검사 결과 용천수의 평균 수온 값은 $15.4{\pm}0.63^{\circ}C$를 나타냈으며, 염분농도의 평균값은 $1.6{\pm}3.01$‰, pH 조사결과 $7.86{\pm}0.43$로 전반적으로 pH 7~8 범위안의 조사결과를 얻었으며, 용존산소량(DO)은 조사결과 $6.06{\pm}1.86$ mg/l로 대부분의 지점에서 평균 6~7 mg/ml의 용존산소량을 보였다. 용천수의 미생물학적 검사 결과 전체 정점별로 총대장균군 범위는 <1.8->1,600 MPN/100 ml로 조사되었으며, 분변계대장균의 경우 <1.8->1,600 MPN/100 ml를 나타냈다. 분변계대장균수의 범위를 정점별 평균값을 살펴보면 용천수 정점 1번, 2번, 10번, 11번을 제외한 모든 정점에서 기하평균치가 14 MPN/100 ml 이상의 평균값을 나타냈으며, 그중 3번, 16번 정점에서 기하평균치값 100 MPN/100 ml 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었으며, 조사한 21곳의 용천수에서 E. coli O157:H7은 검출되지 않았다.
