Recently, quorum quenching (QQ) has emerged as an effective biological control strategy for membrane biofouling in MBR. In particular, the use of QQ bacteria entrapping media (QQ-media) was proven to be efficient and economically feasible biofouling control in MBR. However, few studies have been conducted to explore how to increase the performance of QQ-media for biofouling control in MBR with different membrane types. In addition, because QQ is not effective in biofouling control after biofilm was formed, further studies are required to develop a new bacterium targeting degradation of already formed biofilm. In this study, QQ bacteria entrapping sheets (QQ-sheets) were developed as a new shape of moving QQ-media for alleviating in biofouling in MBR with a hollow fiber module. Moreover, cellulolytic bacteria were applied to mitigate biofouling in MBR by degrading cellulose-induced biofilm as an alternative biological control strategy to QQ-based control.
Firstly, QQ-sheets as a new shape of moving QQ-media were developed to overcome the limitation of previously reported QQ-beads, particularly in MBR with a hollow fiber (HF) module. In a lab-scale MBR, QQ-sheets with a thickness of 0.5 mm exhibited a greater physical washing effect than did QQ-beads with a diameter of 3.5 mm because the former collided with membrane surfaces at the inner as well as the outer part of HF bundles, whereas the latter only made contact with the outer part. Moreover, QQ-sheets showed 2.5-fold greater biological QQ activity than did QQ-beads due to their greater total surface area at a fixed volume of QQ-media. Taking into account dense structure of HF bundles, these combined merits of QQ-sheets bring the QQ technology to practical applications in MBRs with commercial HF modules.
Secondly, cellulase was introduced to MBR as a cellulose-induced biofilm control strategy. For practical application of cellulase to MBR, a cellulolytic (i.e., cellulose-degrading) bacterium, Undibacterium sp. DM-1, was isolated from a lab-scale MBR for wastewater treatment. Prior to its application to MBR, it was confirmed that the cell-free supernatant of DM-1 was capable of inhibiting biofilm formation and of detaching the mature biofilm of activated sludge and cellulose-producing bacteria. This suggested that cellulase could be an effective anti-biofouling agent for MBRs used in wastewater treatment. Undibacterium sp. DM-1 entrapping beads (i.e., cellulolytic-beads) were applied to a continuous MBR to mitigate membrane biofouling 2.2-fold, compared to an MBR with vacant-beads as a control. Subsequent analysis of cellulose content in biofilm formed on the membrane surface revealed that this mitigation was associated with an approximately 30% reduction in cellulose by cellulolytic-beads in MBR.Chapter I 1
