Changes in the bacterial and microeukaryotic communities in the bioreactor upon increasing heavy metal concentrations
Heavy metals are necessary at low concentration for biological activity, but they are often toxic for microorganisms at high concentrations. Amplicon sequencing of 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA was used to investigate changes in the bacterial and microeukaryotic communities in an activated sludge bioreactor...
