About Timothy LaPara

Timothy LaPara, With an exceptional h-index of 47 and a recent h-index of 30 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, specializes in the field of microbial ecology, biological wastewater treatment, antibiotic resistance.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

On-site filtration of large sample volumes improves the detection of opportunistic pathogens in drinking water distribution systems

Determination of the antibiotic and antibiotic resistance footprint in surface water environments of a metropolitan area: Effects of anthropogenic activities

Flushing temporarily improves microbiological water quality for buildings supplied with chloraminated surface water but has little effect for groundwater supplies

Multi-scale investigation of ammonia-oxidizing microorganisms in biofilters used for drinking water treatment

Quantifying and predicting antimicrobials and antimicrobial resistance genes in waterbodies through a holistic approach: a study in Minnesota, United States

Different engineering designs have profoundly different impacts on the microbiome and nitrifying bacterial populations in municipal wastewater treatment bioreactors

Microbial community composition in municipal wastewater treatment bioreactors follows a distance decay pattern primarily controlled by environmental heterogeneity

Dissolved oxygen concentrations affect the function but not the relative abundance of nitrifying bacterial populations in full-scale municipal wastewater treatment bioreactors …
