Microbial populations in this study.
| Community | Microorganisms included | Culture method |
| Culturable heterotrophs | All bacteria capable of growth and colony formation on a mixture of complex organic carbon compounds | Growth on 0.1 X Trypticase Soy Agar (TSA) after incubation for 5 days at 25°C |
| Triclosan-resistant | Subset of the heterotrophic community resistant to the biocide triclosan | Growth on 0.1 X TSA supplemented with 2.0 μg mL−1 (final concentration) triclosan |
