This study uses high-throughput sequencing technology and metagenomics to identify the biofilm forming bacteria in the paper-making process. Taxonomic classification of bacteria that led to biofilm formation were assessed. Problematic bacteria were grouped and quantified using real-time polymerase chain reaction(qPCR). This technology of identification and detection of causative bacteria in the paper-making process, based on metagenomics and qPCR, was developed by Nalco Water as Metagenomics Analysis Protocol(MAP). One case study using MAP demonstrated that targeted biocontrol treatment resulted in improved paper quality and production performance.
