Rapid microbial surveillance using nanopore DNA sequencing

Poster

Date: 4th June 2018

Wastewater treatment is a key technology for both sanitation and resource recovery. The biological processes are generally stable, but occasionally problems occur. Certain bacteria are responsible for e.g. foaming, and should be kept at a low abundance. Golden standard DNA sequencing technology is not suitable for monitoring as the workflow is slow and unpractical. The MinlON DNA sequencer from Oxford Nanopore Technology has enabled real-time sequencing and could potentially be applied routinely at wastewater treatment plants. This would give operators insights that could prevent process-critical problems.
