Insights into quorum quenching mechanisms to control membrane biofouling under changing organic loading rates by Waheed, Hira, Xiao, Yeyuan, Hashmi, Imran, Stuckey, David, Zhou, Yan

“…A quorum quenching (QQ) consortium comprised of both acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs)- and autoinducer-2 (AI-2)-degrading bacteria, either immobilized in polymer-coated alginate beads or in liquid suspension, was examined for fouling control in lab-scale MBRs under both steady and changing organic loading rates (OLRs). Under steady conditions the QQ consortium retarded biofouling by a factor of 3. …”
