“…Despite uncertainties, there is growing focus on approaches to factor phylogeny into conservation prioritization (Pellens & Grandcolas, 2016). Prominent among these is PD (Faith, 1992), offering benefits including its potential use as proxy for feature diversity, that is the diversity of attributes or traits of species, and its ability to maximize retention of the evolutionary potential of species and their future unanticipated possible benefits for human society and nature (Forest et al, 2007;Larsen, Turner, & Brooks, 2012).…”

“…In order to estimate the effect of the different carbon filter treatments, the Faith phylogenetic index (Faith PD) was calculated (Faith, 2016). The Kruskal-Wallis H test for all pairwise tests was used to compare the groups (CF, CF_V, BULK, GW).…”

Drinking water quality and safety is strictly regulated and constantly monitored, but little is known about the microorganisms inhabiting drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs). This lack of knowledge prevents optimization of designs and operational controls. Here we investigated the drinking water microbial community harbored by a groundwater-derived DWTP, involving mineral and vegetal granular activated carbon filters (GACs). We used 16S rRNA gene sequencing to analyze water microbiome variations through the potabilization process, considering (i) different GAC materials and (ii) time from GAC regeneration. Our results revealed the predominance of Cand. Patescibacteria, uncultivable bacteria with limited metabolic capacities and small genomes, from source to downstream water. Microbial communities clustered per sampling date, with the noteworthy exception of groundwater samples. If the groundwater microbiome showed no significant variations over time, the community structure of water downstream GACs (both mineral and vegetal) seemed to be affected by time from GAC regeneration. Looking at a finer scale, different GAC material affected microbiome assembly over time with significant variation in the relative abundances of specific taxa. The significance of our research is in identifying the environmental microorganisms intrinsic of deep groundwater and the community shift after the perturbations induced by potabilization processes. Which microorganisms colonize different GACs and become abundant after GACs regeneration and over time is a first step toward advanced control of microbial communities, improving drinking water safety and management of operational costs.
