摘要: Abstract There is a growing move towards using the quantitative polymerase chain (qPCR)-based sewage-associated marker genes to assess surface water quality. However, lack of understanding about persistence many markers creates uncertainty for those tasked with investigating microbial In this study, we investigated decay two qPCR FIB [E. coli (EC), and Enterococcus spp. (ENT) 23S rRNA genes] four source tracking (MST) [human Bacteroides HF183 16S rRNA, adenovirus (HAdV), polyomavirus (HPyV), crAssphage, recently described bacteriophage in feces], outdoor mesocosms containing fresh marine waters their corresponding sediments. Decay rates EC ENT were significantly (p
