New publication – Microbial Stratification and DOM Removal in Drinking Water Biofilters: Implications for Enhanced Performance

We are thrilled to share our latest paper published in Water Research! In this study, we examined the transformation of DOM fractions by microbial communities at different depths of a biofilter. Our findings revealed that bottom communities are better suited to utilizing more complex organic carbon fractions, likely due to their adaptation. This opens up …
