Methylobacterium spp. as an indicator for the presence or absence of Mycobacterium spp.
International Journal of Mycobacteriology, 2016 Objective/Background: A published survey of bacteria in showerhead biofilm samples revealed that Methylobacterium spp. and Mycobacterium spp. seldom coexisted in biofilms. Method: To confirm that information, biofilm samples were collected from household

Nitrification and potential control mechanisms in simulated premises plumbing [PDF]
Water Research, 2011 Indigenous drinking water organisms were used to establish nitrification in glass reactors containing copper or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) surfaces. The reactors were fed soil-derived humics as the organic carbon source and ammonium sulfate as the nitrogen source in biologically treated tap water.
