"The total bacterial load (TBL) was determined in the inflowing and outflowing waters and a multifactorial design was employed to investigate the effect of different macroalgal biomass. Microbiological analysis revealed a high TBL in the water column (18.4 ± 7.4 × 108 cells ml−1)."

"Figure 2 — Bacterial DNA probe results. A: initial test showing the presence of a high Total Bacterial Load (TBL) = 22.86 million and a high percentage (TML = 32 percent) of periodontal pathogens called total marker load (Pg = 19.8 percent, Bf = 12.2 percent). B: Bacterial DNA probe six months later showing both the reduction of the TBL (5.95 million) and the reduction of periodontal pocket pathogens (Pg = .5 percent, Bf = 1.7 percent)."
