Constructions of quorum sensing signaling network for activated sludge microbial community.

ABSTRACT: In wastewater treatment systems, the interactions among various microbes based on chemical signals, namely quorum sensing (QS), play critical roles in influencing microbial structure and function. However, it is challenging to understand the QS-controlled behaviors and the underlying mechanisms in complex microbial communities. In this study, we constructed a QS signaling network, providing insights into the intra- and interspecies interactions of activated sludge microbial communities based on diverse QS signal molecules. Our research underscores the role of diffusible signal factors in both intra- and interspecies communication among activated sludge microorganisms, and signal molecules commonly considered to mediate intraspecies communication may also participate in interspecies communi
