i am planning to work on providing a better biological solution for membrane fouling in membrane bio reactors. will introduction of genetically engineered organisms into MBR would be of any help? besides quorum quenching?
Thanks in advance.!

gopi.
Quorum quenching (QQ) has been suggested as a potential strategy for disease control because QQ aims to shut down the virulence expression in pathogenic bacteria rather than restrict cell growth and has shown potential to overcome drug toxicities, complicated super-infection and antibiotic resistance.
QQ can be developed as a technique for disrupting the ability of a pathogen to sense its cell density and disable or diminish the capability of triggering the virulent expression. In quorum quenching, the targets are not essential for bacterial survival.
