Biofilm formation is a major concern in various sectors and cause severe problems to public
health, medicine, and industry. Bacterial biofilm formation is a major persistent threat, as it …

A biofilm is an assemblage of microbial cells attached to a surface and encapsulated in an
extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) matrix. The formation of a biofilm is one of the …

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most important global public health problems.
The imprudent use of antibiotics in humans and animals has resulted in the emergence of …

This review summarizes the recent development and studies of anaerobic membrane
bioreactor (AnMBR) to control fouling issues. AnMBR is an emerging waste water treatment …

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

The occurrence of biofouling restricts the widespread application of membrane bioreactors
(MBRs) in wastewater treatment. Regulation of quorum sensing (QS) is a promising …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a process of bacterial communication that involves the use of
biochemical signals and adjusts the expression of specific genes as a response to the …

In nature, quorum sensing is one of the mechanisms bacterial populations use to
communicate with their own species or across species to coordinate behaviours. For the last …

Anode biofilm thickness is a key point for high and sustainable power generation in
microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Over time, the formation of a thicker biofilm on anode electrode …

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 …
