Extracellular polymeric substances trigger microbial immigration from partial denitrification (PD) to anammox biofilms in a long-term operated PD/anammox process in low-strength wastewater

Lifang Yu et al.

Summary: The migration of microbial communities in a synergistic partial denitrification/anammox system was investigated. The anammox process was the dominant nitrogen removal pathway, with an average contribution of 74.31%. Nitrate-reducing bacteria tended to immigrate to anammox biofilms, possibly due to different extracellular polymeric substance (EPS)-mediated mechanisms.

The impact of sunlight on fouling behaviors and microbial communities in membrane bioreactors

Hyeona Park et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of sunlight irradiation on membrane fouling, biopolymers, signal molecules, and microbial communities in MBRs. The results show that sunlight can degrade signal molecules that induce membrane biofouling. Sunlight exposure also leads to changes in microbial behavior and community composition in MBRs.

Prokaryotic community interchange between distinct microhabitats causes community pressure on anammox biofilm development

Weiwei Cai et al.

Summary: Biofilms are an efficient way of wastewater treatment, but little is known about their formation and development in industrial settings. The interplay between different microhabitats is important for sustaining biofilm formation. SourceTracker analysis showed that the majority of initial biofilm originated from the aggregate, but independent evolution was led by anammox species later on. The microbial interaction pattern and community variation displayed similar trends, but the unknown source proportion of interaction was high throughout the incubation, suggesting different relationships within the distinct microhabitats.

Photolytic quorum quenching effects on the microbial communities and functional gene expressions in membrane bioreactors

Xiaolei Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of UVA irradiation on microbial community structures, diversity, and functional gene expressions in MBR. The results show that UVA irradiation reduces microbial diversity in MBRs. The changes in community structures are influenced by spatiotemporal factors and UVA irradiation itself. The relative abundance of certain microbial families associated with decomposition of signal molecules and biofilm degradation increases with UVA photolysis. In addition, certain enzyme-related gene copies increase with longer UVA exposures. These findings suggest that UVA irradiation can alter microbial community and metabolism in MBR, contributing to the mitigation of membrane biofouling.

Quorum quenching, biological characteristics, and microbial community dynamics as key factors for combating fouling of membrane bioreactors

Syed Salman Ali Shah et al.

Summary: Membrane fouling is a major challenge in MBRs for wastewater treatment, and this study found that disturbance and solid retention time (SRT) significantly affect the antifouling efficacy of quorum-quenching (QQ) MBRs. The study demonstrates that a long SRT with QQ can effectively reduce membrane fouling, emphasizing the importance of microbial community diversity in MBR behavior.
