Abstract
Adapts existing molecular-based analysis techniques to provide a protocol that rapidly determines ammonia-oxidizing bacteria concentrates in drinking water samples. Also studies whether an increase in ammonia oxidizer numbers in chloraminated systems indicates the pending onset of a nitrification episode, prior to changes in other water quality parameters that typically occur with nitrification. Published in 2007.
