Abstract

Wastewater is treated by concerted actions of the microbial communities within bioreactors. Although protists (unicellular eukaryotes) are good bioindicators and important players influencing denitrification, nitrification, and flocculation, they are the least known organisms in WWTPs. The few recent environmental surveys of the protistan diversity in WWTPs show that the most abundant protistan sequences in WWTPs belong to Thecofilosea (Rhizaria). We re-investigated previously published environmental sequencing data and gathered strains from seven WWTPs to determine which species dominate WWTPs worldwide. We found that all highly abundant thecofilosean sequences represent a single species - Rhogostoma minus. Considering that Thecofilosea are frequent hosts for Legionellales, i.e. bacteria linked to waterborne diseases, we confirm that Rhogostoma minus functions as a host for Legionellales in WWTPs. Whether the highly abundant Rhogostoma minus also serves as a host for known human pathogenic Legionellales requires further attention.
