Effluent from sewage treatment plant, as an important source of microplastics (MPs) in
receiving water, has attracted extensive attention. Membrane separation process shows …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) regulated by quorum sensing (QS) could directly
mediate adhesion between microorganisms and form tight microbial aggregates. Besides …

Quorum sensing (QS) and quorum quenching (QQ) are increasingly reported in biological
wastewater treatment processes because of their inherent roles in biofilm development …

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) is considered an efficient technique for kitchen
wastewater treatment; however, membrane fouling restricts their applicability. In this study, a …

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 fouling is considered the major limitation of membrane bioreactors (MBRs). This
paper provides an overview on fouling mitigation in MBRs using granular materials …

Membrane biofouling, due to biofilm growth after planktonic bacteria attachment to a
membrane, is a major bottleneck limiting the energy-efficient operation and maintenance of …

This study is the first to enrich a facultative QQ consortium for AI-2-based quorum sensing
(QS) disruption (FQQ2) and discover its quorum quenching (QQ) performance in an …

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 …
