Impact of light on anoxic/oxic reactors: performance, quorum sensing, and metagenomic characteristics

The effect of light has raised attention on wastewater treatment. However, little research has concentrated on the influences of light on activated sludge. In this study, the influences of light on the performance, quorum sensing (QS) and metagenomic characteristics of anoxic/oxic reactors were inve...
