Fig. 4From: Microbial responses to transient shock loads of quaternary ammonium compounds with different length of alkyl chain in a membrane bioreactorVariations of a microbial products and b adhesion and fluidity properties of the microbial products following exposure of the samples to different kinds of QACs for 2 h. The adhesion and fluidity properties are evaluated by the frequency shifts (∆f) at the third overtone after the adsorption of microbial products on QCM-D sensors. c Time-course results of the transmembrane pressure (TMP) in an MBR under the shock loads of different kinds of QACsBack to article page
