Structure and the Biochemical Potential of the Bacterial Community in Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent and in Receiving Waters: Northern Poland Case Study
Abstract
Wastewater treatment processes are monitored mainly in terms of biogenic substance removal efficiency. Little is known about the treated wastewater microbiome and its influence on the recipient. In this study, a wide range of methods (cultivation, microscopic analysis, New Generation Sequencing and Real Time PCR) were employed to determine the bacterial community composition of the treated wastewater and its receiver. Preliminary results of the study show that the wastewater impact on the marine receiver is not clearly visible on the higher taxonomic level of the microbial community (phylum) or in microscopic observations. However, it can be noted in the results of cultivation methods (eg. E. coli presence) and in the lower taxonomic levels, eg. specific groups of human-related bacteria, including pathogens, as well as microorganisms involved in nutrient cycling.
