AbstractMonitoring microbial components in drinking water is as essential as tracking its chemical composition. While traditional culture-based methods can offer valuable insights into the morphology, behavior, and phenotype of organisms, their scope is limited to culturable species. With the advent of high-throughput sequencing, we can now detect a wider range of microbes in any ecosystem, gaining deeper insights into their functional potential and metabolic capabilities more efficiently.
