“…Proteobacteria were observed to predominate in all the types of water analyzed, as could be expected from other studies on surface and drinking water (Zwart et al ., ; Williams et al ., ; Hoefel et al ., ; Eichler et al ., ; Kormas et al ., ; Kahlisch et al ., ). Other phyla with a lower prevalence in the current study, such as Actinobacteria , Cyanobacteria , Bacteroidetes , Planctomycetes , Aquificae , Acidobacteria , Chloroflexi , Verrucomicrobia , Firmicutes , Chlamydiae and Nitrospirae , have been reported in surface and drinking water (Hoefel et al ., ; Eichler et al ., ; Baik et al ., ; Poitelon et al ., ; Kormas et al ., ; Revetta et al ., ; Kwon et al ., ). Alpha ‐, Beta ‐ and Gammaproteobacteria are among the predominant bacteria in drinking and mineral water (Williams et al ., ; Manuel et al ., ; Falcone‐Dias et al ., ).…”
