Fig. 3

Effect of various factors on relative abundances of potential opportunistic pathogens. Changes in the relative abundance of a Mycobacterium spp. and b Legionella spp. with temperature based on Illumina sequencing. c Relative abundance of L. pneumophila based on qPCR (mip gene copies/16S rRNA gene copies) for PEX condition only. Water supplemented with 0–700 μg/L AOC were fed to SWHs and incubated at increasing temperatures (32–53 °C). Circles and triangles represent SWHs with copper and PEX pipe sections, respectively. Error bars represent standard errors of triplicate SWHs
