Reihe: Sustainable Water and Wastewater Treatment

As wastewater contains diverse microbes, the regular microbiological screening at wastewater treatment plants is essential for monitoring wastewater treatment. This work discusses enzymatic as well as culture-dependent/-independent methods used to estimate bacterial diversity and to monitor temporal and spatial changes. A metagenomic approach is used to characterize the microbial communities in industrial wastewater treatment.
