Description
Niklas Nett and Kenneth Dumack give a 2026 pan-European study of the whole microbiome in wastewater influent. Sewage that flows into treatment plants holds a mix of microbes. They come from humans, nature, and the plants themselves. How that mix maps across lands was not well known. That gap was largest for the larger microbes.
Shotgun data came from time series at plants across a north-south span of Europe. The team read bacteria, protists, fungi, and tiny animals in the flow. Makeup shifted with place and season. A clear north-south split stood out, driven by the top taxa. Seasonal swings were stronger in the north.
