Bacteria drinking water biofilm 1
drinking water metagenome
Water utilities treat drinking water by adding phosphate to prevent metal dissolution from water pipe work systems and particularly lead poisoning. Phosphate can be a limiting nutrient for microbial biofilms in DWDS, yet its effects on these microbial consortia are not well understood. This research presents results from phosphate dosing experiments using a real scale chlorinated DWDS, comparing standard phosphate concentrations of UK drinking water (1 mgP/L) with a double dose (2 mgP/L) commonly used in plumbosolvency treatment.
