Metagenomic Analysis of Viral Communities in Wastewater Treatment Plants

This project aims to investigate the diversity, composition, and dynamics of viral communities present in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) using metagenomic analysis. Understanding the viral community structure in wastewater is crucial for understanding the novelty of viruses in human-related water environments, monitoring public health risks, assessing the efficiency of wastewater treatment processes, and evaluating the potential environmental impact of viral discharge into natural water bodies.
