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

Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are recognized as significant
energy consumers and greenhouse gases (GHGs) emitters in many countries. The direct …

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

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

Biofouling in membrane bioreactors (MBRs), which is defined as the unwanted
accumulation of microorganisms on the membrane surface, has been intensively studied for …

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

Biofouling is a long-standing problem in membrane bioreactors (MBRs) for domestic
wastewater treatment because it deteriorates membrane permeability, thus demanding …

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 …

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

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