“…Thus, the sludge settling performance deteriorated as shown in Table 1 . Wang et al [38] also found that a higher Zeta potential inhibited sludge accumulation. Additionally, there were no significant changes in the contact angle of the sludge after ultrasonic treatment (p > 0.05), implying that the correlation between ultrasonic treatment and the sludge contact angle is weak.…”

“…The EPS is responsible for adhesion, cohesion, mechanical stability, scaffolding, protection, and adaption to environmental stresses [21]. Although the functional mechanisms of the EPS components at a molecular level are still not very clear, several functions, like an aggregation of microorganism [22], providing a barrier against antibiotics [23], cell-cell interactions [24], and adhesion [25], have been demonstrated [26]. The composition of the biofilm matrix varies from biofilm to biofilm depending upon the type of microorganisms [27,28] (Figure 2).…”

Pathogenic microorganisms have adapted different strategies during the course of time to invade host defense mechanisms and overcome the effect of potent antibiotics. The formation of biofilm on both biotic and abiotic surfaces by microorganisms is one such strategy to resist and survive even in presence of antibiotics and other adverse environmental conditions. Biofilm is a safe home of microorganisms embedded within self‐produced extracellular polymeric substances comprising of polysaccharides, extracellular proteins, nucleic acid, and water. It is because of this adaptation strategy that pathogenic microorganisms are taking a heavy toll on the health and life of organisms. In this review, we discuss the colonization of pathogenic microorganisms on tissues and medically implanted devices in human beings. We also focus on food spoilage, disease outbreaks, biofilm‐associated deaths, burden on economy, and other major concerns of biofilm‐forming pathogenic microorganisms in food industries like dairy, poultry, ready‐to‐eat food, meat, and aquaculture.

“…Regarding the EPS extracted from anammox granular sludge, the extensive classification of glycoproteins originating from it allowed for the better understanding of their structure [ 156 ]. The protein and polysaccharide analyses from the extracted EPS revealed 599 mg/g VS EPS and 49 mg/g VS EPS , respectively [ 138 , 157 ].…”

Over the last few years, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been rebranded as water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs), which recognize the resource recovery potential that exists in wastewater streams. WRRFs contribute to a circular economy by not only producing clean water but by recovering valuable resources such as nutrients, energy, and other bio-based materials. To this aim, huge efforts in technological progress have been made to valorize sewage and sewage sludge, transforming them into valuable resources. This review summarizes some of the widely used and effective strategies applied at pilot- and full-scale settings in order to valorize the wastewater treatment process. An overview of the different technologies applied in the water and sludge line is presented, covering a broad range of resources, i.e., water, biomass, energy, nutrients, volatile fatty acids (VFA), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), and exopolymeric substances (EPS). Moreover, guidelines and regulations around the world related to water reuse and resource valorization are reviewed.
