Abstract: The survival offour species of bacteria was studied in a Waste Stabilization pond of the Waste Treatment plant of Ahmadu Bello University, Zana. The four cultures used were:- escherichia coli, streptococus faecalis, salmonella _,yphJand ~brlO cholera. Ofthese, E. coli showed greater persistence, surviving for 26 days and a half-life of) days. S. /aecalis and S. typhi survived for 18 days each with a half life of 4 days while V cholera showed the least persistence of 6 days and half life of 2 days. The result suggests the need to increase the retension tune for the treatment facility to 28 or more as against the 24 days presently in use.
