Targeted ecological regulation of signal-responsive taxa drives biofouling mitigation in quorum-quenching membrane bioreactors.
This study investigated the effects of alginate-powdered activated carbon-quorum quenching (APQ) beads on microbial communities in MBRs treating real semiconductor wastewater. The addition of APQ beads significantly reduced membrane biofouling and extended membrane lifespan. The APQ-MBR maintained stable treatment perf...
