Improving the efficiency of anaerobic digestion: Domesticated paddy soil microbes enhance the hydrolytic acidification of rice straw and pig manure. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 345:126570. [PMID: 34921923 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.126570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2021] [Revised: 12/06/2021] [Accepted: 12/10/2021] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Improving the efficiency of hydrolytic acidification is critical for methane production from agricultural waste. This study is the first to apply domesticated paddy soil microbes to (DPSM) enhance the hydrolytic acidification of rice straw (RS) and pig manure (PM) to obtain acidizing fluid for anaerobic digestion (AD). At a substrate concentration of 20%, the inoculation of an RS-PM mixture (1:3) with 35% DPSM degraded the volatile solids by 48.1% and yielded 6.8 g/L of volatile fatty acids and 4.7 g/L of acetic acid after seven days of hydrolytic acidification. After 10 days of subsequent AD, the cumulative methane production of the acidizing fluid was 304.96 mL/g COD, similar (P > 0.05) to the control (318.27 mL/g COD). However, the methane production time decreased by 43.4% (from 30 to 17 days), thereby improving the AD efficiency. Inoculation with DPSM is therefore an effective pre-treatment for agricultural waste for methane production.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 340:125709. [PMID: 34375790 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2021] [Revised: 07/29/2021] [Accepted: 07/30/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The characterized microbial consortium can efficiently degrade rice straw to produce acetic and butyric acids in high yields. The rice straw lost 86.9% in weight and degradation rates of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin attained were 97.1%, 86.4% and 70.3% within 12 days, respectively. During biodegradation via fermentation of rice straw, average concentrations of acetic and butyric acids reached 1570 mg/L and 1270 mg/L, accounting for 47.2% and 35.4% of the total volatile fatty acids, respectively. The consortium mainly composed of Prevotella, Cellulosilyticum, Pseudomonas, Clostridium and Ruminococcaceae, etc. Metagenomic analyses indicated that glycoside hydrolases (GHs) were the largest enzyme group with a relative abundance of 54.5%. Various lignocellulose degrading enzymes were identified in the top 30 abundant GHs, and were primarily distributed in the dominant genera (Prevotella, Cellulosilyticum and Clostridium). These results provide a new route for the commercial recycling of rice straw to produce organic acids.

Abstract
Six different environmental samples were applied to enrich microbial consortia for efficient degradation of corn stalk, under the thermophilic and mesophilic conditions. The consortium obtained from anaerobic digested sludge under thermophilic condition (TC-Y) had the highest lignocellulose-degrading activity. The CO2 yield was 246.73 mL/g VS in 23 days, meanwhile, the maximum CO2 production rate was 15.48 mL/(CO2·d), which was 28.75% and 52.27% higher than that under mesophilic condition, respectively. The peak value of cellulase activity reached 0.105 U/mL, which was at least 34.61% higher than the other groups. In addition, 49.5% of corn stalk was degraded in 20 days, moreover, the degradation ratio of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin can reach 52.76%, 62.45% and 42.23%, respectively. Microbial consortium structure analysis indicated that the TC-Y contained the phylum of Gemmatimonadetes, Acidobacteria, Chloroflexi, Planctomycetes, Firmicutes, and Proteobacteria. Furthermore, the Pseudoxanthomonas belonging to GammaProteobacteria might be the key bacterial group for the lignocellulose degradation. These results indicated the capability of degrading un-pretreated corn stalk and the potential for further investigation and application of TC-Y.

Abstract
Ensilage is a commonly used method of preserving energy crops for biogas production. However, aerobic deterioration of silage is an inevitable problem. This study investigated the effect of aerobic deterioration on methane production and microbial community dynamics through anaerobic digestion (AD) of maize stalk silage, following 9days air exposure of silage. After air exposure, hydrolytic activity and methanogenic archaea amount in AD were reduced, decreasing the specific methane yield (SMY); whereas lignocellulose decomposition during exposure improved the degradability of silage in AD and enhanced SMY, partially compensating the dry matter (DM) loss. 29.3% of the DM and 40.7% of methane yield were lost following 0-9days exposure. Metagenomic analysis showed a shift from Clostridia to Bacteroidia and Anaerolineae in AD after silage deterioration; Methanosaetaceae was the dominant methanogenic archaea.

Abstract
Napier grass is potentially a viable feedstock for biofuel production. The present study investigated biological pretreatment of Napier grass by three microbial consortia followed by saccharification and anaerobic digestion. The pretreatment efficiencies of three microbial consortia were compared in terms of degradation ability, saccharide and biogas yield. The lignocellulose loss rates of Napier grass varied largely. The biomass pretreated by the consortium WSD-5 gave 43.4% and 66.2% total sugar yield under low and moderate loadings of commercial enzyme mixtures, while the highest yield was 83.2% pretreated by the consortium MC1 under a high enzyme loading. The maximum methane yield of pretreated samples by the consortia MC1, WSD-5 and XDC-2 were 259, 279, 247ml/g VS, respectively, which were 1.39, 1.49 and 1.32times greater than the values of the untreated controls. This study showed that pretreatments by MC1, WSD-5 and XDC-2 were capable of significantly enhancing both the saccharide and methane yields from Napier grass.

Isolation, screening, and identification of cellulolytic bacteria from natural reserves in the subtropical region of China and optimization of cellulase production by Paenibacillus terrae ME27-1. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2014; 2014:512497.

Abstract
From different natural reserves in the subtropical region of China, a total of 245 aerobic bacterial strains were isolated on agar plates containing sugarcane bagasse pulp as the sole carbon source. Of the 245 strains, 22 showed hydrolyzing zones on agar plates containing carboxymethyl cellulose after Congo-red staining. Molecular identification showed that the 22 strains belonged to 10 different genera, with the Burkholderia genus exhibiting the highest strain diversity and accounting for 36.36% of all the 22 strains. Three isolates among the 22 strains showed higher carboxymethyl cellulase (CMCase) activity, and isolate ME27-1 exhibited the highest CMCase activity in liquid culture. The strain ME27-1 was identified as Paenibacillus terrae on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis as well as physiological and biochemical properties. The optimum pH and temperature for CMCase activity produced by the strain ME27-1 were 5.5 and 50°C, respectively, and the enzyme was stable at a wide pH range of 5.0–9.5. A 12-fold improvement in the CMCase activity (2.08 U/mL) of ME27-1 was obtained under optimal conditions for CMCase production. Thus, this study provided further information about the diversity of cellulose-degrading bacteria in the subtropical region of China and found P. terrae ME27-1 to be highly cellulolytic.

Abstract
The present study investigated the degradation of un-pretreated wheat straw, corn stalk, and rice straw by a lignocellulose-degrading microbial consortium XDC-2. Following six days of cultivation, exocellular xylanase activities were 414.9, 491.9, and 335 U/mL, respectively. After 12 days, the rice straw had lost 39.71% of its weight, hemicellulose and cellulose losses of 78.27% and 14.08%, respectively. The total amount of volatile products reached a maximum on day six for rice straw degradation. The four major types of volatile products were acetic acid, propionic acid, butanoic acid, and glycerin, all of which would be suitable substrates for conversion to methanol by anaerobic digestion. According to PCR-DGGE analysis, XDC-2 remained stable during the degradation process of untreated lignocellulosic biomass. These results demonstrate the potential for further development and application of XDC-2; it is capable of degrading un-pretreated lignocellulosic materials, and has a low cost of operation.
