In this study, biomass characteristics including bacterial community, extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production, and membrane fouling propensity were examined when the membrane bioreactors (MBRs) were fed with different substrates (i.e., different C/N/P ratios). Denaturing gradient gel ele...
