Towards better
water quality
Improving our planet’s water quality constitutes a UN Millennium Development Goal, with pathogen contamination being one of the top priority concerns. While the recognition and understanding of changing microbial communities in water resources is essential, global pathogen-level impacts of climate change and rising urbanization yet need to be studied.
PuntSeq has developed a real-time workflow for rapid and cost-effective assessments of microbial freshwater communities. We document all necessary steps, from water sampling to DNA extraction, bacterial sequencing and downstream Bioinformatics analyses.
