Substratum‐Associated Microbiota
Summary
This 2015 literature survey reviewed research on microbiota associated with aquatic substrates across freshwater and marine environments, covering topics including global change effects, oil spills, and environmental contaminants such as microplastics, nanoparticles, and pharmaceuticals. It also addressed nutrient cycling, trophic interactions, invasive species, bioindicators, and bioremediation.
This survey of literature on substratum associated microbiota from 2015 highlights research findings associated with benthic algae and bacteria from a variety of aquatic environments, but primarily freshwaters. It focuses on topics of interest to the Water Environment Federation along with those of current emerging interest such as global change, oil spills, and environmental contaminants like pharmaceutical compounds, microplastics, nanoparticles and organic pollutants. Other interesting findings briefly covered include areas of general ecology, nutrient cycling, trophic interactions, water quality, nuisance and invasive species, bioindicators, and bioremediation.
