Microbial transformation of biomacromolecules in a membrane bioreactor: implications for membrane fouling investigation.

BACKGROUND: The complex characteristics and unclear biological fate of biomacromolecules (BMM), including colloidal and soluble microbial products (SMP), extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and membrane surface foulants (MSF), are crucial factors that limit our understanding of membrane fouling...
