Bacterial diversity across four drinking water distribution systems in Croatia: impacts of water management practices and disinfection by-products

Abstract Several factors may impact bacterial diversity in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) including the origin of the raw water, the water treatment technologies, and the disinfection practices applied. 16S rRNA metabarcoding was used for the in-depth characterization of bacterial commu...

Description
Summary:Abstract Several factors may impact bacterial diversity in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) including the origin of the raw water, the water treatment technologies, and the disinfection practices applied. 16S rRNA metabarcoding was used for the in-depth characterization of bacterial communities in the four studied Croatian DWDSs (A, B, C, D) two of which had residual disinfectant (A, B) and two were without (C, D), while only B utilized the conventional water treatment technology. Significantly higher diversity and species richness were evidenced in non-disinfected DWDSs (P
