The supply of clean water for human consumption is being challenged by the appearance of anthropogenic pollutants in groundwater ecosystems. Because many plasmids can transfer horizontally between members of bacterial communities, they comprise promising vectors for the dissemination of pollutant-degrading genetic determinants within water purification plants.
