Biofilms are complex microbial architectures that attach to surfaces and encase
microorganisms in a matrix composed of self-produced hydrated extracellular polymeric …

Biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs), which is defined as the unwanted
accumulation of microorganisms on the membrane surface, has been intensively studied for …

This study would investigate the effect of nano-Fe 3 O 4 particles on the performance of
membrane bioreactor (MBR), including membrane fouling, membrane rejection and …

Biofouling is a long-standing problem in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for domestic
wastewater treatment because it deteriorates membrane permeability, thus demanding …

Introduction Recent studies have revealed the presence of N-acyl-homoserine lactones
(AHLs) quorum sensing (QS) signals in the oral environment. Yet, their role in oral biofilm …

Restoring an environment contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) is highly
challenging. Biodegradation by biofilm-forming bacteria through quorum sensing (QS) is a …

Anode biofilm thickness is a key point for high and sustainable power generation in
microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Over time, the formation of a thicker biofilm on anode electrode …

Biofilm formation in healthcare is an issue of considerable concern, as it results in increased
morbidity and mortality, imposing a significant financial burden on the healthcare system …

The performance of the different configurations of AnMBRs is affected by operating
parameters including solid retention time (SRT), hydraulic retention time (HRT), organic …
