The Effects of Low Concentrations and Long-Term Contamination by Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate on the Structure and Function of Bacterial Communities in the Lake–Terrestrial Ecotone [PDF]
MicroorganismsDue to the growing focus on daily hygiene practices, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a widely used surfactant, is increasingly found in domestic sewage and rainfall runoff. Upon entering the lake–terrestrial ecotone, SDS affects the composition, abundance,
