a Rejection of NOM for M 0.0, M 0.5 and M 2.0. b Flux decline and recovery with bacteria for M 0.0 (Pristine-BC). c Flux decline and recovery with bacteria for M 0.5 (BC-GO 0.5 mg/mL). d Flux decline and recovery with bacteria for M 2.0 (BC-GO 2 mg/mL). e Average flux recovery (%) after cleaning with DI water. SEM micrographs after filtration and cleaning with DI water representing effective cleaning and reusability. f Colonies of E.coli on the surface of M 0.0 (pristine-BC). g E.coli colonies on Pristine-BC with higher resolution. h Fewer E.coli laying on the surface of M 0.5 (BC-GO 0.5 mg/mL) i Single E.coli on the surface of M 2.0 (BC-GO 2 mg/mL).
