Bay waters along this transect

Sites closer to seawalls in Transect 3 and Transect 4 (close to 14th St and 10th St respectively)
are the highest in viable Ec and anomalous Human Bacteroidales.

All samples with exceeding viable (alive) Enterococci levels (pink)


High content of human-derived Bacteroidales (yellow)
Values increase as tide levels increase and then decline when tide recedes

MST= Molecular microbial source tracking qPCR methods


qPCR= The quantitative method for nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) in molecular biology

Summary (there are more samples and measurements from Sept 27th and 28th, not
reported here)
