Total Viable Count at 20°C (TYC 20°C) and Total Viable Count at 37°C (TYC 37°C) were used as indicators of pollution, while Total Coli (TC), Faecal Coli (FC), Faecal Streptococcus - Enterococcus (FS) and Clostridium perfringens - as indicators of the sanitary stale. Bottom sediment samples wen: collected from 3 sites situated in the centre of the lake and from 6 sites in the vicinity of the lake shore. Sanely and gravel offshore bottom sediments showed less degree or pollution than muddy bottom sediments collected from the centre or the lake. Higher numbers of anaerobic spore-forming and sulphite reducing bacteria (Clostridium pcrfringens) found at sites 1 and 2 in the vicinity of the mouth of Czarna Hańcza River lo Lake Wigry. At those places a higher bacteriological pol lution of bottom sediments samples was found.}, type={Artykuł}, title={Evaluation of Sanitary-Bacteriological State of Bottom Sediments of Wigry Lake in 1998-1999}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/123655/PDF/9_AE_VOL_30_4_2004_Gotkowska_Plachta_Ocena.pdf}, keywords={lake, bottom sediments, bacteria, indicatory microorganisms}, }
