Successional trophic complexity and biogeographical structure of eukaryotic communities in waterworks' rapid sand filters
As groundwater-fed waterworks clean their raw inlet water with sand filters, a variety of pro-and eukaryotic microbial communities develop on these filters. While several studies have targeted the prokaryotic sand filter communities, little is known about the eukaryotic communities, despite the obvious need for knowledge of microorganisms that get in contact with human drinking water.
