The mechanisms through which microbes communicate using signal molecules has inspired
a great deal of research. Microbes use this exchange of information, known as quorum …

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) has emerged as an efficient compact technology for
municipal and industrial wastewater treatment. The major drawback impeding wider …

Quorum sensing (QS) is a communication process between cells, in which bacteria secrete
and sense the specific chemicals, and regulate gene expression in response to population …

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 biofouling is widely acknowledged as the most frequent adverse event in
wastewater treatment systems resulting in significant loss of treatment efficiency and …

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 …

Quorum quenching (QQ) has recently been acknowledged to be a sustainable antifouling
strategy and has been investigated widely using lab-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) …

The bacterial communication through signaling molecules termed quorum sensing has
gained a lot of attention due to its applicability to different fields of study. Quorum sensing …
