Culture dependent and independent analyses of bacterial communities involved in copper plumbing corrosion

Aims:  This study used culture‐dependent and culture‐independent approaches to characterize bacterial communities in copper plumbing corrosion and to assess biofilm formation and copper resistance of heterotrophic bacteria isolated from copper pipes.
