a EPS contents in BF and QQBF biofilms during the whole operation. b Biofilm adhesion strength comparison on the filler surface in BF and QQBF on the 25th day and 65th day (the adhesion was compared by the detachment efficiency of biofilms during ultrasonic cleaning). c Biofilm detachment efficiency at the end of ultrasonic cleaning (60 s). The star symbol represents significant difference (p < 0.05). d MLSS concentration in leachate from BF and QQBF for one cycle (day 20 to day 28). Insets represent actual leachate conditions for BF and QQBF at the end of the cycle. CLSM images of biofilm formed on the filler surface in e BF and f QQBF after the 65-day operation. Green and red indicate live microbial cells and dead microbial cells, respectively. Error bar, standard deviation (n = 3)
