In drinking water distribution systems (DWDS), biofilms are the predominant mode of
microbial growth, with the presence of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) protecting …

The use of biologically activated carbon (BAC) in drinking water purification is reviewed. In
the past BAC is seen mostly as a polishing treatment. However, BAC has the potential to …

Proper granular activated carbon (GAC) selection could improve the performance of
biological activated carbon (BAC) filters through a combination of adsorption and …

Few studies have comprehensively investigated the temporal variability in soil microbial
communities despite widespread recognition that the belowground environment is dynamic …

Microbial community structure in the ozone-biofiltration systems of two drinking water and
two wastewater treatment facilities was characterized using 16S rRNA gene sequencing …

Bacteria play an important role in water purification in drinking water treatment systems. On
one hand, bacteria present in the untreated water may help in its purification through …

Nitrate is one of the most common pollution sources in groundwater, particularly in highly
vulnerable karst aquifers. The potential for nitrification and denitrification within karst …

This study investigates the influence of pipe characteristics on the bacteriological
composition of material mobilised from a drinking water distribution system (DWDS) and the …

Biological activated carbon (BAC) filtration can usually perform well in removal of
biodegradable organic compounds in drinking waters. In this study, a pilot-scale down-flow …

Aims To characterize bacterial communities during the early stages of biofilm formation and
their role in water discolouration in a fully representative, chlorinated, experimental drinking …
