Altered microbiomes of aquatic macroinvertebrates and riparian spiders downstream of municipal wastewater effluents
Abstract
Municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) contain numerous contaminants, including antimicrobials, that could affect the composition of the beneficial bacterial communities associated with host aquatic organisms. There is also potential for these effects to transfer to terrestrial predators. Riparian spiders and five families of aquatic macroinvertebrates were collected from sites upstream and downstream of two WWTPs, Waterloo and …
