Zusammenfassung:•Organic load, salinity and NH4+-N influenced EPS and SMP during leachate treatment.•Exceptionally high β-glucosidase activities were determined during MBR operation.•Candidate Saccharibacteria were dominant at any landfill leachate concentration.•A massive shift in other bacterial taxa was observed at high organic loading rate.•The new fungal phylum Cryptomycota was predominant at high organic loading rate. A membrane bioreactor (MBR), accomplishing high nitrogen removal efficiencies, was evaluated under various landfill leachate concentrations (50, 75 and 100% v/v). Proteinous and carbohydrate extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and soluble microbial product (SMP) were strongly correlated (p
