RESEARCH GOALS
The aim of this project is to evaluate the impact of different drinking
water sources and treatment methods on the GM in an in-vitro
fermentation model. By integrating high throughput analyses
on the composition, gene expression, proteins and metabolites
produced, a characterization of the synthetic bacterial culture in
response to the different drinking water samples can be performed
and a conclusion on the microbiological quality of the latter can be
made. Understanding how the DWM influences health via the GM
will further advise on water treatment methods to improve drinking
water quality.
