community profile of a drinking water supply system (DWSS)
supplying O'Kiep, Namaqualand, South Africa. Representative
samples from the source (Orange River) to the point of use
(O'Kiep), through a 150km DWSS used for drinking water distribution were analysed for bacterial content. PCR amplification of
the 16S rRNA V1-V3 regions was undertaken using oligonucleotide primers 27F and 518R subsequent to DNA extraction. The PCR
amplicons were processed using the illumina® reaction kits as per
manufactures guidelines and sequenced using the illumina®
MiSeq-2000, by means of MiSeq V3 kit. The data obtained was
processed using a bioinformatics QIIME software with a compatible fast nucleic acid (fna) file. The raw sequences were deposited
at the National Centre of Biotechnology (NCBI) and the Sequence
