👉 Streamwort is a term used in the context of water quality and environmental science. It refers to a type of bacteria that are typically found in freshwater systems, particularly those with low levels of oxygen. These bacteria can cause harmful effects on aquatic life, such as eutrophication and overgrowth of algae, which can lead to algal blooms and death of other organisms. Streamwort is often used in water treatment plants to remove these pollutants from the water.
