Investigation of the response mechanisms of halophilic and mixed culture aerobic granular sludge under hypersaline conditions

The high salinity of brine wastewater generated by industrial processes could limit options for biological treatment and reuse of these wastewaters. In the present study, several bioresponse mechanisms to cope with high osmotic pressure created in hypersaline wastewater were investigated. Production of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS), microbial community shifting,...
