Article Synopsis
- Biofilms in water distribution systems (DWDS) impact water quality, making it essential to study microbial communities for effective control.
- Researchers collected biofilm samples during infrastructure upgrades in China, revealing archaea mainly in the water main and diverse bacteria across branch pipes and main sections.
- The study highlighted distinct niches within the biofilm communities, with specific organisms like Nitrosopumilus and Methanobrevibacter dominating in different water main areas, and identified few shared microbial species among samples.
