Nontoxicity of an oil shale process water to Escherichia coli.
The survival of Escherichia coli in the presence of an oil shale process water was studied over a five day period. The organism survived better in the presence of one or ten percent concentration of the process water than it did in distilled or tap water. Water chemistry of the diluent appeared to be important to the survival of the organism.
