ABSTRACT: Over the last 10 years, the development of single-molecule, high-throughput DNA sequencing technology has drastically improved the ability of microbiologists to characterize bacterial communities. In this presentation, LaPara discusses two examples in which next-generation DNA sequencing technology was used to investigate bacterial community composition in drinking water systems. He shows that the application of next-generation DNA sequencing technology enables new insights into the microbiome of drinking water treatment and its subsequent distribution to water consumers.
