TLDR
Results from this study indicate that temperature and water stagnation affect both chemical and microbial quality in DDWSs, whereas microbial parameters in stagnant water appear to be driven by the temperature of fresh water.About:

Bacterial adhesion and biofilms on surfaces
TL;DR: An overview of bacterial adhesion is provided, examples of how adhesion affects industry are cited, and methods and instrumentation used to improve the understanding of the adhesive prop- erties of bacteria are summarised.

TL;DR: The findings indicate that the tap water bacteria could possibly be managed by selecting and operating the purification process properly and cleaning the distribution system effectively.

TL;DR: The need for long-term studies to comprehensively understand the temporal patterns that would otherwise be missed in short-term investigations is emphasised, particularly towards determining the impact of changes in source water quality, environmental conditions, and process operations on the changes in microbial community composition in the drinking water distribution system.

TL;DR: Investigation of the seasonal variations in the chemical and biological quality of water after overnight stagnation for a period of one year showed that the tap water quality deteriorated, with up to a 2.7-fold increase in the total iron concentrations.

FLASH: Fast Length Adjustment of Short Reads to Improve Genome Assemblies
Tanja Magoc,Steven L. Salzberg +1 more
TL;DR: FLASH is a fast computational tool to extend the length of short reads by overlapping paired-end reads from fragment libraries that are sufficiently short and when FLASH was used to extend reads prior to assembly, the resulting assemblies had substantially greater N50 lengths for both contigs and scaffolds.
