Clay Flocculation Effect on Microbial Community Composition in Water and Sediment

Clay Flocculation Effect on Microbial Community Composition in Water and Sediment

Clay-based flocculation techniques have been developed to mitigate harmful algal blooms; however, the potential ecological impacts on the microbial community are poorly understood. In this study, chemical measurements were combined with 16S rRNA sequencing to characterize the microbial community res...
