Among the several biofilm-based bioreactors, moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBR) have
been extensively used for wastewater treatment due to low operational costs, technical …

This paper reviews the formation, structure, and stability of bioaggregates with an emphasis
on the composition and distribution of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and their …

Biological nitrogen removal from pharmaceutical wastewater has drawn increasing attention
due to biotoxicity and inhibition. In this study, for the first time, a novel approach integrating …

Sludge aggregation and biofilm formation are the most effective approaches to solve the
washout of anammox microorganisms. In this study, the structure and composition of EPS …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of aerobic (AerAOB) and anaerobic ammonium-
oxidizing bacteria (AnAOB) are expected to have a significant impact on the performance of …

The biofilm system is beneficial for Anammox process designed to treat landfill leachate. In
this study, the composition of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and the microbial …

Anaerobic ammonium oxidizing (anammox) bacteria based technologies are widely applied
for nitrogen removal from warm (25–40° C) wastewater with high ammonium concentrations …

The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) to treat waste activated sludge (WAS) still
exhibits some limitations, such as low methane production. In this study, cation exchange …

In decades, anaerobic fermentation with short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) recovery from
excess sludge have attained rising attention. However, rigid particulate organic matter …

Acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs)-mediated quorum sensing in bacterial communities have
been extensively observed. However, the metabolic pathways regulated by AHLs in bacteria …
