Effects of municipal wastewater effluents on the digestive gland microbiome of wild freshwater mussels (Lasmigona costata)
Abstract
Gut microbial communities are vital for maintaining host health, and are sensitive to diet, environment, and chemical exposures. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) release effluents containing antimicrobials, pharmaceuticals, and other contaminants that may negatively affect the gut microbiome of downstream organisms.
