Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201370263-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 6057, W. J. Stark and co‐workers present a chemically active filtration membrane that removes bacteria and the essential growth nutrient phosphate in a single filtration step. This allows the suppression of the microbial regrowth processes and thus, provides a simple device for the preparation of drinking water and subsequent safe storage. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3v0wrmr7" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
