Description
Stefania Andrea Rosso Villanelo and coauthors use antibiotics as a weeding tool to culture shy sludge bacteria in 2026. Sewage sludge germs clean water, yet many kinds refuse to grow in the lab. Brief antibiotic pressure thins rivals so rare kinds can claim a plate.
Eleven antibiotics at three strengths each reshaped plate communities in distinct ways. Two winning settings yielded seventy four pure isolates across twenty eight species. Thirteen look new to science by genome checks. Nineteen fall in core sludge genera found world wide. Genome guesses about sludge jobs can now face bench tests.
