AB  - Restoring an environment contaminated with persistent organic pollutants (POPs) 
      is highly challenging. Biodegradation by biofilm-forming bacteria through quorum 
      sensing (QS) is a promising treatment process to remove these pollutants and 
      promotes eco-restoration. QS plays an important role in biofilm formation, 
      solubilization, and biotransformation of pollutants. QS is a density-based 
      communication between microbial cells via signalling molecules, which coordinates 
      specific characters and helps bacteria to acclimatize against stress conditions. 
      Genetic diversification of a biofilm offers excellent opportunities for 
      horizontal gene transfer, improves resistance against stress, and provides a 
      suitable environment for the metabolism of POPs. To develop this technology in 
      industrial scale, it is important to understand the fundamentals and ubiquitous 
      nature of QS bacteria and appreciate the role of QS in the degradation of POPs. 
      Currently, there are knowledge gaps regarding the environmental niche, abundance, 
      and population of QS bacteria in wastewater treatment systems. This review aims 
      to present up-to-date and state-of-the-art information on the roles of QS and 
      QS-mediated strategies in industrial waste treatment including biological 
      treatments (such as activated sludge), highlighting their potentials using 
      examples from the pulp and paper mill industry, hydrocarbon remediation and 
      phytoremediation. The information will help to provide a throughout understanding 
      of the potential of QS to degrade POPs and advance the use of this technology. 
      Current knowledge of QS strategies is limited to laboratory studies, full-scale 
      applications remain challenging and more research is need to explore QS gene 
      expression and test in full-scale reactors for wastewater treatment.
