Nutrients and Pharmaceuticals Structure Bacterial Core Communities in Urban and Montane Stream Biofilms

Bacteria in stream biofilms contribute to stream biogeochemical processes and are potentially sensitive to the substantial levels of pollution entering urban streams. To examine the effects of contaminants on stream biofilm bacteria in situ, we exposed growing biofilms to experimental additions of n...
