Accounting for DNA Recovery and Cell Culturability Enhances Quantitative Compatibility of Molecular and Legiolert Assays for Legionella pneumophila

High-accuracy hierarchical rRNA operon profiling resolves genomovar-level taxonomy and microdiversity using Nanopore sequencing.

UltraRes-rrn uses Nanopore sequencing and hierarchical rRNA operon profiling to achieve genomovar-level taxonomy resolution and microdiversity detection in microbial communities.

Quantitative metagenomics using a portable protocol.

This paper introduces a field-deployable workflow for quantitative metagenomics using Nanopore sequencing and barcoded spike-in calibration, achieving species-level identification and absolute quantitation comparable to digital PCR.

Legionella and Mycobacterium populations exhibit geographic structuring across and within drinking water systems

The paper examines geographic structuring of Legionella and Mycobacterium populations across and within drinking water systems using 16S rRNA sequencing and flow cytometry.

Viral adsorption to Moore swabs in passive wastewater sampling

This paper characterizes viral adsorption to Moore swabs using isotherm models, finding the Redlich-Peterson model best describes the relationship between viral concentration and swab uptake over time.

Decay and Solid-Liquid Partitioning of Mpox and Vaccinia Viruses in Primary Influent and Settled Solids to Guide Wastewater-Based Epidemiology Practices

This study examines the decay and solid-liquid partitioning of mpox and vaccinia viruses in wastewater to improve wastewater-based epidemiology practices.

Advancing source tracking: systematic review and source-specific genome database curation of fecally shed prokaryotes

The paper curates nine genomic databases for fecal source tracking, summarizes their source-specificity, and tests their utility with mock water samples.
