| Summary: | This research explores the microbial ecology within drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). The aim of the paper was to examine the impact of small-amplitude transients on the bacterial composition in bulk water and biofilms. The findings highlight the dominance of Proteobacteria and the significant transformation of microbial communities in response to changes in environmental conditions. The study underscores the complex interplay between operational strategies and microbial dynamics in DWDS and emphasizes the necessity for ongoing research to enhance water quality management amidst climate change challenges. |
