Biological responses to P‐limitation in indigenous bacteria isolated from drinking water
1 INTRODUCTION Bacteria in biofilters degrade natural organic matter (NOM) and other contaminants in the source water through their metabolism, thus treating water (Wong, 2015). However, under stressful conditions such as a low-nutrient environment, oxidant addition (i.e., chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, etc.,), and high shear stress, excess extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) is produced by bacteria (Evans, 2013; Fang et al., 2009; J. R. Liu et al., 2006).
AWWA Water Science Author Spotlight
Having recently published an article in AWWA Water Science (AWS), Leili Abkar answered questions from AWS editor-in-chief Kenneth L. Mercer about the research. Sedimentation: Hydraulic Improvement of Drinking Water Biofiltration Leili Abkar, Amina K. Stoddart, and Graham A. Gagnon I believe that accessible, safe, and affordable drinking water is a human right. My home country, Iran, is increasingly suffering from water shortages and I wanted to be part of the solution.
