Quorum quenching (QQ) is an effective method to control membrane biofouling in aerobic membrane bioreactors (AeMBRs). However, it is not clear if QQ is feasible in an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR). In this study, Microbacterium. sp that has QQ capability was embedded in alginate beads, known...
