We sampled the tap water of seven unique, full-scale drinking water distribution systems at different locations as well as the corresponding treatment plant effluents to evaluate the impact of distribution and the potential presence of a core drinking water microbiome. The water was also sampled during network flushing to examine its effect on the microbial ecology. While a core microbiome dominated by <i>Gammaproteobacteria</i> was found using 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing, an increase in biomas ...[more]
