Moringa Powder as a Flocculant in Raw Water for Removal of Bacteria of Public Health Importance

Keywords: Coagulation-flocculation, OTU, tag, Metagenomic analysis, Water treatment

Abstract

Flocculation is a precipitation method that retains suspended solids, releasing gray water with a lower organic load. Moringa powder has a flocculating effect and in this case its effect was evaluated among bacterial populations, especially those of  public health importance. The study was carried out in the City of Reynosa, Tamaulipas, which has two channels that carry water for urban and agricultural use. Four places were sampled, two in the city and the others on the outskirts of the city. The water samples collected at each point were divided into two. One batch was the controls and the other one was added moringa powder. Subsequently, DNA extraction was performed on all batches for metagenomic analysis of the present biota. The results showed that there is a flocculating effect in the water samples and that microbial populations are altered with treatment; finally, it is observed that populations of bacteria of public health importance are not removed with treatment.
