Abstract
Wastewater contains a wide suite of microbial and chemical contaminants. However, not all microorganisms in wastewater are bad. They can be a source of inoculum which we can then tap into to assemble microbial barriers within biotechnologies. These microbial barriers can aid in efficient wastewater treatment. In this seminar, we discuss the role of microbial barriers in removing antibiotic resistance genes and organic micropollutants from wastewater. With the help of microbial barriers in bioreactors, wastewater can be converted into high-quality reclaimed water to meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) of providing clean water and sanitation for all and to allow sustainable cities and communities to develop (SDG11). The reclaimed water can also be used for food (SDG2) and energy production (SDG7).
