However, its efficacy at removing complex viral populations, such as those found in reclaimed water used for agricultural irrigation, has not been fully evaluated. Therefore, this study utilized metagenomic sequencing and epifluorescent microscopy to enumerate and characterize viral populations found in reclaimed water and zero-valent iron-sand filtered reclaimed water sampled three times during a larger greenhouse study.en-USViral metagenomicsViromeEpifluorescent microscopyReclaimed waterAntibiotic resistanceZero-valent ironSand filtrationArticle
