Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of bacterial communication that involves the use of
biochemical signals and adjusts the expression of specific genes as a response to the …

Conventional biological nitrogen removal (CBNR) process is widely employed due to its
efficiency. However, its high operating and capital costs have led to the exploration of more …

The widespread use of antibiotics has created an antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)-
enriched environment, which causes high risks on human and animal health. Although …

Bacterial communication could affect their interactions, but whether this regulation has
“intelligence” is still unknown. Here, we operated an anammox reactor under temperature …

Nitrogen is a component of many fundamental biomolecules and also participates in
environmental redox chemistry. Nitrogen pollution is a serious environmental problem …

Aerobic granulation of nitrifying activated sludge could enhance the removal of 17α-
ethinylestradiol (EE2) via abiotic nitration induced by reactive nitrogen species …

In this study, two lab-scale reactors were operated to evaluate the impact of exogenous
folate on the start-up process of single-stage partial nitritation-anammox (SPNA). Folate at a …

Despite extensive studies, a comprehensive solution for sludge bulking has not yet been
found. This study improves the sludge settling performance via quorum sensing (QS) by …

Recently, it is reported that bacterial communication coordinates the whole consortia to
jointly resist the adverse environments. Here, we found the bacterial communication …

Abstract Effects of sludge retention times (SRTs) on system performance, microbial structure
and quorum sensing in an activated sludge bioreactor were investigated. SRTs significantly …
