Abstract
The LAL spectrophotometric assay of gram-negative bacterial endotoxins was examined for suitability as a measurement of microbial water quality in two water treatment and distribution systems over an 18 month period. While statistically significant associations between standard plate count, membrane standard plate count and total coliform organisms and total endotoxins could be found, these were at a relatively low coefficient of determination. It is concluded that for use as a routine monitoring technique in potable water treatment, the analysis of endotoxin holds little promise.
