Europe’s water law needs genomic resolution

Adrian-Stefan Andrei; Hans-Peter Grossart; Jakob Pernthaler

The authors recommend a new genetic approach for the obligatory measurements under the European Water Framework Directive (WFD). Currently, the diversity of phytoplankton – i.e. microalgae – is assessed as a key parameter for water quality using an inverse microscope technique that has been in use since 1958.
