Biofilms, present as microorganisms and surviving on surfaces, can increase food cross-
contamination, leading to changes in the food industry's cleaning and disinfection dynamics …

Microbial community in natural or artificial environments playes critical roles in substance
cycles, products synthesis and species evolution. Although microbial community structures …

Substance and energy metabolism are the basis for all life activities and are largely
regulated by cell-to-cell communication. Microbial cell-to-cell communication often occurs by …

Anaerobic granular sludge (AnGS) has a complex and important internal microbial
communication system due to its unique microbial layered structure. As a concentration …

The increase in the generation of wastewater along with the presence of different recalcitrant
pollutants has stressed the existing conventional biological treatment systems beyond …

Nitrification and denitrification are crucial processes in the nitrogen cycle, a vital microbially
driven biogeochemical cycle. N-acyl-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated quorum sensing …

Quorum sensing (QS) plays an important role in microbial aggregation control. Recently, the
optimization of biological waste treatment systems by QS regulation gained an increasing …

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 …

Initial attachment plays an important role in biofilm formation in wastewater treatment
processes. However, the initial attachment process mediated by N-acyl-homoserine …

Bioaugmentation is an effective technology for treating wastewater containing recalcitrant
organic pollutants. However, it is restricted by several technical problems, including the …
