Abstract

Key findings

  • The yeast cell layer effectively rejects salt and other contaminants, improving water quality.
  • The use of a yeast cell layer as a secondary membrane increases the water flux and reduces fouling in microfiltration.
  • The Microbial Desalination Cell concept shows promise for sustainable and efficient water desalination.
