Evaluation of a novel quorum quenching strain for MBR biofouling mitigation
Abstract
Membrane biofouling, due to Soluble Microbial Products (SMP) and Extracellular Polymeric Substances (EPS) deposition, results in reduction of the performance of Membrane Bioreactors (MBRs). However, recently, a new method of biofouling control has been developed, utilizing the interference of the bacterial inter- and intra-species' communication. Bacteria use Quorum Sensing (QS) to regulate the production of SMP and EPS. Therefore, disruption …
