Fungi in drinking water have been long neglected due to the lack of convenient analysis
methods, widely accepted regulations and efficient control strategies. However, in the last …

Water is indispensable to life and safe and accessible supply must be available to all. The
presence of microorganisms is a threat to this commitment. Biofilms are the main reservoir of …

Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has been widely applied for microbe inactivation. Previous
studies revealed that the inactivation efficiency could be improved with the sequential use of …

Microbiological drinking water safety is traditionally monitored mainly by bacterial
parameters that indicate faecal contamination. These parameters correlate with gastro …

Fungal contamination of drinking water sources is increasingly threatening the environment
and human health. In this study, the inactivation of three genera of dominant fungi in drinking …

Recently, the contamination of fungi in water supply systems has been an area of increasing
concern, such as Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp. It can cause some waterborne issues …

Fungi in aquatic environments received more attention recently; therefore, the characteristics
of inactivation of fungal spores by widely used disinfectants are quite important …

The disinfection of pathogenic microorganisms in water treatment by peracetic acid (PAA)-
based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) has been gaining increasing concern. In this …

Waterborne fungi have been recognized as an emerging environmental contaminant in
recent years. This work was to investigate the inactivation efficiency and mechanisms of …

This work, for the first time, investigated the diversity of endophytic fungi harbored in the
xylem and phloem of the root of Sophora tonkinensis Gapnep from three geographic …
