Terrestrial microbial communities may take advantage of running waters and runoff to enter
rivers and mix with aquatic microorganisms. However, the environmental factors governing …

Stormwater infiltration systems (SIS) are designed to collect and infiltrate urban stormwater
runoff into the ground for flood risk mitigation and artificial aquifer recharge. Many studies …

Microbial communities are undergoing unprecedented dispersion and amalgamation across
diverse ecosystems, thereby exerting profound and pervasive influences on microbial …

Cities are patchworks of urban catchments divided into functional units according to their
commercial, residential and industrial activities, and socio-urbanistic patterns. The …

The hygienic quality of urban surfaces can be impaired by multiple sources of
microbiological contaminants. These surfaces can trigger the development of multiple …

Riverine sediments are important habitats for microbial activity in naturalised waterways to
provide potential ecosystem services that improve stormwater quality. Yet, little is known …

In the present study, the microbial community residing at different depths of the landfill was
characterized to assess their roles in serving as a methane sink. Physico-chemical …

The bTPMT (bacterial thiopurine S-methyltransferase), encoded by the tpm gene, can
detoxify metalloid-containing oxyanions and xenobiotics. The hypothesis of significant …

Stormwater infiltration systems (SIS) have been set up to collect and infiltrate urban
stormwater runoff in order to reduce flooding and to artificially recharge aquifers. Such …

This PhD aims to determine faecal pollution sources and explore the uncertainties of source
identification in rural catchments. Specifically, the focus is on the use of microbial community …
