Today, microbial drinking water quality is monitored through either time-consuming
laboratory methods or indirect on-line measurements. Results are thus either delayed or …

Water quality is largely influenced by the abundance and diversity of indigenous microbes
present within an aquatic environment. Physical, chemical and biological contaminants from …

Recent and forecasted advances in microbiology, molecular biology, and analytical
chemistry have made it timely to reassess the current paradigm of relying predominantly or …

Enteric pathogens are typically inferred from the presence of surrogate indicator organisms
such as thermotolerant (faecal) coliforms (TTCs). The analysis of TTCs requires time …

We report an all-in-one platform–ScanDrop–for the rapid and specific capture, detection,
and identification of bacteria in drinking water. The ScanDrop platform integrates droplet …

As the reuse of municipal wastewater escalates worldwide as a means to extend
increasingly limited water supplies, accurate monitoring of water quality parameters …

Accurate and sensitive online detection tools would benefit both fundamental research and
practical applications in aquatic microbiology. Here, we describe the development and …

Fast and accurate monitoring of chemical and microbiological parameters in drinking water
is essential to safeguard the consumer and to improve the understanding of treatment and …

Waterborne diseases cause millions of deaths worldwide, especially in developing
communities. The monitoring and rapid detection of microbial pathogens in water is critical …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays an important role in biological, physical and chemical
processes in water ecosystems. Different characteristics of DOM, such as origin or formation …
