Desalination process Targeted Locus/Loci
Water samples were collected from a desalination plant, which were seawater, pretreated seawater, brine of reverse osmosis process and fouled reverse osmosis membranes.  Microbial community differences were determined from intake to fouling communities during desalination process.   1) seawater: intake seawater which provided to desalination process.  2) filter treated seawater: after pretreatment (multimedia filter, MF, UF).  3) Biofouling1 : on reverse osmosis  membrane 1 (front located face to inflow). 4) Biofouling2 : on reverse osmosis membrane 2 (last located). 5) Brine: the concentrated water after reverse osmosis process.
