This study aimed to integrate the quorum quenching (QQ) strategy with powdered activated carbon (PAC) adsorption for fouling control and simultaneous removal of trace amounts of selected pharmaceutically active compounds (PhACs) in laboratory membrane bioreactors (MBRs). With the addition of QQ stra...
