Simple Summary Microorganisms like bacteria, archaea, fungi, microalgae, and viruses
mostly form complex interactive networks within the ecosystem rather than existing as single …

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 …

Fouling in membrane bioreactors (MBR) is a bottleneck problem limiting their application. In-
situ fouling control strategies have been continuously developed for decades, and can be …

Biological fouling as termed biofouling is caused by varied living organisms and is difficult to
eliminate from the environment thus becoming a major issue during membrane bioreactors …

Physicochemical technologies to control biofouling in the membrane bioreactors (MBRs)
have shown to be incapable of removing all biofouling layers. Novel biological approaches …

Membrane bioreactor (MBR) technology has been paid extensive attention for wastewater
treatment because of its advantages of high effluent quality and minimized occupation space …

A novel quorum quenching (QQ) strain, Acinetobacter guillouiae ST01, was isolated from a
full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) and characterized for its QQ activities. Batch reactor …

Membrane fouling is a major challenge in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for wastewater
treatment. This study investigates the effects of disturbance and solid retention time (SRT) on …
