[Sanitary microbiological aspects of the treatment of wastes from antibiotic manufacture in biological ponds].

Efficiency of decreasing sewage contamination was estimated under laboratory conditions by the Coli index in additional treatment of antibiotic production sewage in bioponds with higher aquatic plants. It was shown that the sewage decontamination in summer was intensive due to vital activity of complex biocenosis of the higher aquatic plants and algae and reached the required levels. This allowed to use much lower quantities of the reagents in chlorination of water for circulating water supply.
