Introduction- The Colne River Assessment Project (CRAP) is an ongoing initiative focused on monitoring and assessing the biodiversity and water quality in various waterways across East Essex and Suffolk. Over the past year, the project collected water samples from key water bodies, including the Colne, Stour, Hythe, and Tollesbury rivers. These samples were analyzed to evaluate the levels of E. coli, Enterococcus, and antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (AMR) such as Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) and Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE). The project involved volunteers and experts like Drew Henderson and Rob Furguson from the University of Essex. The primary goal was to understand how environmental factors, particularly tide conditions, impact bacterial contamination and to compare the microbial levels against UK inland bathing water standards.

Amplicon Sequencing data analysis of soil samples
This data analysis from the study aims to show that the conserved functional genes in microorganisms found in soil differ significantly in different environmental habitats. Also, Microorganisms in soil samples show unique genetic adaptations and traits within different locations and environmental conditions.
