Initiation and progression of Early-Stage microbial-driven membrane fouling in membrane bioreactors: a review
Biofouling. 2023 Jun 21:1-14. doi: 10.1080/08927014.2023.2226064. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrobial biofilm development on the membrane surface of bioreactors results in membrane flux decline (biofouling). Biofouling is one of the most severe problems limiting the use of these bioreactors. For detailed understanding of the biofouling, microbial community and dissolved organic matter analyses have been performed in recent decades. Although most previous studies have focused on mature biofilms at the end point of biofouling, understanding of the early stages is crucial to mitigate biofilm formation. Thus, recent studie...

Bioaugmentation of the green alga to enhance biogas production in an anaerobic hollow-fiber membrane bioreactor
Biofouling. 2023 Jun 16:1-10. doi: 10.1080/08927014.2023.2184689. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAnaerobic membrane reactors (AnMBRs) offer an alternative wastewater treatment system, presenting both reclamation of value through biogas production, and efficient treatment of recalcitrant contaminants such as antibiotics from wastewater. The effects of bioaugmentation with the green alga Haematococcus pluvialis on anaerobic treatment of pharmaceutical wastewaters, alleviating membrane biofouling, biogas production and impact on the indigenous microbial communities were evaluated using AnMBRs. The outputs of the bioreactor exp...
