Abstract
Plummeting the burden that is increasingly posed by water related diseases is amongst the major public
health goals for a developing country. The required growth and development experienced in developing
countries will always weigh on this important component of earth from either industrial waste, sewage or
domestic waste. A general estimate from WHO global evidence synthesis on water related complications
and diseases posits that about 94% could be preventable through environmental modification and application of simple techniques to treat water1,2. Amongst other explored purification protocols, flocculation and
chlorination as a chemical process has been linked to few health conditions after long time of exposure3
.
This has been largely adduced to the synthetic source and thus the need to explore flocculants of biological
origin that can effectively purify water and presents little or no health risk. Surface water, which is often categorized as harbor of large numbers of microorganisms amongst other characteristics was, explored for the
presence of bacteria flocculants producers from three surface water in Ilorin, Kwara State in Nigeria.
