The characterization of variations in riverine microbiota that stem from contaminant sources
and transport modes is important for understanding biogeochemical processes. However …

Chloramination and chlorination are both strong barriers that prevent the transmission of
potential pathogens to humans through drinking water. However, the comparative effects of …

Nitrification is a major issue that utilities must address if they utilize chloramines as a
secondary disinfectant. Nitrification is the oxidation of free ammonia to nitrite which is then …

COVID-19 pandemic-related building restrictions heightened drinking water microbiological

Low carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N) wastewater is widespread and difficult to treat. To find a
resolution to this issue, this study systematically evaluated the constituents of composite …

The emergence and development of next-generation sequencing technologies (NGS) has
made the analysis of the water microbiome in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) …

Chlorine-resistant bacteria (CRB) in drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) jeopardize
water quality and pose a potential risk to human health. However, the specific response of …

The biogeography of eukaryotes in drinking water systems is poorly understood relative to
that of prokaryotes or viruses, limiting the understanding of their role and management. A …

Reconstructing microbial genomes from metagenomic short-read data can be challenging
due to the unknown and uneven complexity of microbial communities. This complexity …
