Social network of filamentous Sphaerotilus during activated sludge bulking: Identifying the roles of signaling molecules and verifying a novel control strategy

Xin Lu et al.

Summary: Filamentous bulking is a common problem in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) that leads to poor sludge settleability and bad effluent quality. This study identified 3-OH-C10-HSL as a signal molecule that drives Sphaerotilus bulking, and a quorum quenching technology that effectively inhibits bulking while maintaining floc stability and bioactivity. The study also discovered the activation of specific transcriptional pathways and the use of an analogue to successfully quench Sphaerotilus abundance and improve sludge quality. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of filamentation mechanisms and advances the development of targeted anti-bulking strategies.

Leptothrix cholodnii Response to Nutrient Limitation

Tatsuki Kunoh et al.

Summary: The study revealed that limitations in Na+, K+, and Fe2+ did not impact the growth of filamentous bacteria significantly, while limitations in C, N, P, or vitamins led to changes in filament morphology. Furthermore, the absence of Mg2+ and Ca2+ had dramatic effects on the cells, with Mg2+ loss resulting in cell autolysis and Ca2+ removal causing catastrophic disintegration of the filaments.
