As drinking water travels from its source, through various treatment processes, hundreds to
thousands of kilometres of distribution network pipes, to the taps in private homes and public …

Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) have a profound role in various
wastewater treatment and reclamation processes, in which a variety of technologies are …

Microplastics (MPs) are emerging as anthropogenic vectors for the colonization and
transportation of microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems. However, the composition of …

Microplastics (MPs) have been considered as a new vector for the long-distance transport of
pathogens in aquatic ecosystems. However, the composition of viral communities attached …

Understanding the biofilm microbiome and antibiotic resistome evolution in drinking water
distribution systems (DWDSs) is crucial to ensure the safety of drinking water. We explored …

Community-intrinsic properties affect the composition and function of a microbial community.
Understanding the microbial community-intrinsic properties in drinking water distribution …

Biofilms can be pervasive and problematic in water treatment and distribution systems but
are difficult to eradicate due to hindered penetration of antimicrobial chemicals. Here, we …

Peracetic acid (PAA) can effectively inactivate fungi in water, while may pose a potential risk
of regrowth after disinfection. The inactivation kinetic and mechanism of fungal spores by …

To keep the high quality of drinking water in the future for non-chlorinated drinking water
systems, knowledge about the variables that most strongly affect this quality is necessary in …

Antimicrobial resistance is a well-documented public health concern. The role that drinking
water distribution pipes have as sources of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is not well …
