mediate adhesion between microorganisms and form tight microbial aggregates. Besides …

Compared with the traditional activated sludge process, a membrane bioreactor (MBR) has
many advantages, such as good effluent quality, small floor space, low residual sludge yield …

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) is a reliable and promising technology for wastewater
treatment and reclamation applications. In spite of more than a decade of significant …

Introduction Numerous bacterial behaviors are regulated by a cell-density dependent
mechanism known as Quorum Sensing (QS). QS relies on communication between bacterial …

Food products contain various active ingredients, such as flavors, nutrients, unsaturated fatty
acids, color, probiotics, etc., that require protection during food processing and storage to …

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 …

Quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) are increasingly reported in biological
