Identification of the origin of faecal contamination in estuarine oysters using Bacteroidales and F‐specific RNA bacteriophage markers
Abstract
AIMS: The aim of this study was to identify the origin of faecal pollution impacting the Elorn estuary (Brittany, France) by applying microbial source tracking (MST) markers in both oysters and estuarine waters.
METHODS AND RESULTS: The MST markers used were as follows: (i) human-, ruminant- and pig-associated Bacteroidales markers by real-time PCR and (ii) human genogroup II and animal genogroup I of F-specific RNA bacteriophages (FRNAPH) by …
