Biological Profiles in Drinking Water
Published in Edwin E. Geldreich, Microbial Quality of Water Supply in Distribution Systems, 2020
Flavobacteria can be opportunistic pathogens and have been implicated in human infections including meningitis (particularly in infants), pneumonia, endocarditis, and septicemia.181–188F. meningosepticum is the species most commonly involved in nosocomial infections. In the hospital, flavobacteria have been recovered from a variety of water system attachment devices including nebulizers, humidifiers, hemodialysis systems, distilled water systems, sink faucets, and drinking fountains. 30,32,184,186

Flavobacteria was another important bacterial class in the RO concentrate, with a relative abundance after acclimation of 0.7%, highest abundance at day 51 (14.6%), and abundances of 12.1% and 1.6% at days 71 and 91, respectively. Li et al. [40] studied the biological degradation of organic pollutants in seawater, and found that Flavobacteria and γ-Proteobacteria were the main bacterial classes. At the anoxic–aerobic treatment stage in coking wastewater, Bacteroidetes showed a stable relative abundance within the range of 1.3–5.6%. Thus, Bacteroidetes was the main bacterial class that removed recalcitrant organic matter.

The major classes detected within phylum Bacteroidetes were Flavobacteriia and Bacteroidia (Figure 5). The class Flavobacteriia is composed of a single order of environmental bacteria – Flavobacteriales. In turn, within the Bacteroidia class, the family Bacteroidaceae is commonly known as fermentative bacteria which play a vital role in hydrolysing and fermenting organic materials. Bacteroidaceae produce organic acids, carbon dioxide and hydrogen during the AD process [30,40].
