This review identifies the knowledge gaps in aerobic granulation technology and defines
some problems for future studies. In particular, extracellular polymeric substances (EPSs) …

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 …

Anammox as a promising biological nitrogen removal technology has attracted much
attention. However, cold temperature would limit its wide application and little is known …

It was an important discovery in wastewater treatment that the microorganisms in the
traditional activated sludge can form aerobic granular sludge (AGS) by self-aggregation …

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

Quorum sensing (QS) is a widespread intercellular form of communication to coordinate
physiological processes and cooperative activities of bacteria at the population level, and it …

Understanding the relationship between dynamic microbial networks and functional stability
is critical for the stable operation of anammox systems. Here, by operating an anammox …

Loss of structural stability of aerobic granular process is the challenge for its field
applications to treat wastewaters. The second messenger, cyclic diguanylate (c-di-GMP), is …

Laboratory experiments were carried out to determine the long-term effects of N-acyl-
homoserine lactone (AHL)-based quorum sensing on the characteristics of ANAMMOX …

The prevalence of antibiotic resistance in drinking water system is pressing public health
risk. Antibiotic resistance conferred by chromosomal mutations often produces fitness cost …
