The goal of the current article is to update new findings in membrane fouling and emerging
fouling mitigation strategies reported in recent years (post 2010) as a follow-up to our …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process between cells, in which bacteria secrete
and sense the specific chemicals, and regulate gene expression in response to population …

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

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

Membrane biofouling is widely acknowledged as the most frequent adverse event in
wastewater treatment systems resulting in significant loss of treatment efficiency and …

Chromobacterium violaceum is a gram-negative bacterium, which has been used widely in
microbiology labs involved in quorum sensing (QS) research. Among the QS-regulated traits …

Biofilm formation on biotic or abiotic surfaces is caused by microbial cells of a single or
heterogeneous species. Biofilm protects microbes from stressful environmental conditions …

Fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a bottleneck problem limiting their application. In-
situ fouling control strategies have been continuously developed for decades, and can be …

Undesirable adhesion of microbes such as bacteria, fungi and viruses onto surfaces affects
many industries such as marine, food, textile, and healthcare. In particular in healthcare and …

Quorum sensing (QS), a type of bacterial cell–cell communication, produces autoinducers
which help in biofilm formation in response to cell population density. In this review, biofilm …
