Microbial granulation technologies (MGT) have been widely used in wastewater management for over fifty years. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development of MGT-based wastewater management, including the process development and the functional microbial interactions within the granules. The molecular mechanism of granulation through the secretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and signal molecules is discussed, as well as the recent research interest in recovering useful bioproducts from granular EPS.
Microbial granulation technologies (MGT) in wastewater management are widely practised for more than fifty years. MGT can be considered a fine example of human innovativeness-driven nature wherein the manmade forces applied during operational controls in the biological process of wastewater treatment drive the microbial communities to mod-ify their biofilms into granules. Mankind, over the past half a century, has been refining the knowledge of triggering biofilm into granules with some definite success. This review captures the journey of MGT from inception to matura-tion providing meaningful insights into the process development of MGT-based wastewater management. The full-scale application of MGT-based wastewater management is discussed with an understanding of functional microbial interactions within the granule. The molecular mechanism of granulation through the secretion of extracellular poly-meric substances (EPS) and signal molecules is also highlighted in detail. The recent research interest in the recovery of useful bioproducts from the granular EPS is also emphasized.
