Roles of autoinducer-2 mediated quorum sensing in wastewater treatment

Quorum sensing (QS) is considered to be a promising regulation method for biological wastewater treatment (WWT) due to its regulation in extracellular substances (EPS) production, biofilm formation, granulation, colonization and bacterial activity and stability. Recently, autoinducer-2 (AI-2), a kin...
