Optimization and validation of multiresidual extraction methods for pharmaceuticals in Soil, Lettuce, and Earthworms. ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE AND POLLUTION RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2024; 31:33120-33140. [PMID: 38676866 PMCID: PMC11133184 DOI: 10.1007/s11356-024-33492-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
The presence of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals (PhACs) in the environment poses potential risks. To comprehensively assess these risks, robust multiresidual analytical methods are essential for determining a broad spectrum of PhAC classes in various environmental compartments (soil, plants, and soil organisms). This study optimized extraction methods for analyzing over 40 PhACs from various matrices, including soil, lettuce, and earthworms. A four-step ultrasonic extraction method with varying extraction conditions and subsequent solid phase extraction was developed for soil samples. QuEChERS methods were optimized for extracting PhACs from lettuce and earthworm samples, addressing a literature gap in these less-studied matrices. The quantification of PhACs in soil, lettuce, and earthworm extracts was performed using a single LC-MS/MS method. Following thorough method validation, earthworms and lettuce were exposed to a mixture of 27 pharmaceuticals in a soil environment. The method validation results demonstrated the robustness of these methods for a broad spectrum of PhACs. Specifically, 29 out of 42 PhACs were extracted with an average efficiency > 50% and RSD < 30% from the soil; 40 out of 42 PhACs exhibited average efficiency > 50% and %RSD < 30% from the earthworms, while 39 out of 42 PhACs showed average efficiency > 50% and RSD < 30% from the lettuce. Exposure experiments confirmed the viability of these methods for quantifying a diverse range of PhACs in different environmental compartments. This study presents three thoroughly validated methods for determining more than 40 PhACs in diverse matrices, enabling a comprehensive assessment of PhAC dissemination in the environment.

Abstract
Biodegradation is an efficient and cost-effective approach to remove residual penicillin G sodium (PGNa) from the environment. In this study, the effective PGNa-degrading strain SQW1 (Sphingobacterium sp.) was screened from contaminated soil using enrichment technique. The effects of critical operational parameters on PGNa degradation by strain SQW1 were systematically investigated, and these parameters were optimized by response surface methodology to maximize PGNa degradation. Comparative experiments found the extracellular enzyme to completely degrade PGNa within 60 min. Combined with whole genome sequencing of strain SQW1 and LC-MS analysis of degradation products, penicillin acylase and β-lactamase were identified as critical enzymes for PGNa biodegradation. Moreover, three degradation pathways were postulated, including β-lactam hydrolysis, penicillin acylase hydrolysis, decarboxylation, desulfurization, demethylation, oxidative dehydrogenation, hydroxyl reduction, and demethylation reactions. The toxicity of PGNa biodegradation intermediates was assessed using paper diffusion method, ECOSAR, and TEST software, which showed that the biodegradation products had low toxicity. This study is the first to describe PGNa-degrading bacteria and detailed degradation mechanisms, which will provide new insights into the PGNa biodegradation.

Abstract
Activated carbon enriched with high concentrations of gentamicin (ACG) was generated in the production process of gentamicin. Inappropriate handling methods for ACG not only squanders carbon resource, but also seriously hinders achieving global carbon neutrality and hazardous to human health. In the present work, thermal and carbon co-activated persulfate method (TC-PS) was developed to regenerate ACG with degrading gentamicin. The results showed that ACG was effectively regenerated by TC-PS, restoring the adsorption performance for gentamicin. When the treatment temperature was 80 °C, the persulfate dosage was 20 mM and the initial pH was 3.0, the degradation efficiency of gentamicin reached 100%. The HO• and SO4•- were the major reactive species for gentamicin degradation. The possible degradation routes of gentamicin were proposed and the safety assessment indicated that the produced intermediates during the regeneration process of ACG by TC-PS have insignificant impact on the biological and ecological environment.

Abstract
Fate of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting of antibiotic fermentation waste (AFW) is a major concern. This review article focuses on recent literature published on this subject. The key findings are that antibiotics can be removed effectively during AFW composting, with higher temperatures, appropriate bulking agents, and suitable pretreatments improving their degradation. ARGs dynamics during composting are related to bacteria and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Higher temperatures, suitable bulking agents and an appropriate C/N ratio (30:1) lead to more efficient removal of ARGs/MGEs by shaping the bacterial composition. Keeping materials dry (moisture less than 30%) and maintaining pH stable around 7.5 after composting could inhibit the rebound of ARGs. Overall, safer utilization of AFW can be realized by optimizing composting conditions. However, further removal of antibiotics and ARGs at low levels, degradation mechanism of antibiotics, and spread mechanism of ARGs during AFW composting require further investigation.

Abstract
Rifamycin mycelial dreg (RMD) is a biological waste, and its residual rifamycin (RIF) is potentially harmful to both the environment and human health. In this work, thermally activated persulfate (PDS) oxidative degradation of RIF in RMD was developed for the first time. The effects of reaction temperature, initial PDS concentration, and pH on RIF degradation in RMD were investigated, and the treatment conditions were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). The results showed that 90 °C, 50 mg/g PDS, and pH = 5.3 were the optimal pretreatment conditions, and 100% degradation efficiency of RIF (734 mg/kg) was achieved. SEM and FTIR analyses confirmed that the RIF was destroyed and decomposed after the oxidation reaction. The possible degradation pathways of RIF in the thermally activated PDS system were discussed through HPLC/MS and ESR analyses. The intermediate product was identified, and the toxicity of the final product was predicted to be low or nontoxic. In this work, a degradation pathway of RMD was proposed by activating persulfate, which facilitates subsequent resource utilization and provides meaningful guidance for the practical treatment of antibiotic mycelium residue (AMR).

Abstract
Chicken manure containing antibiotics is a hazardous biological waste. The purpose of our study was to investigate how different concentrations of penicillin G alter the bacterial community to affect humification during aerobic composting of chicken manure. The effect of quorum sensing on the bacterial community was also evaluated. Penicillin G mainly affects low fold changes (within 4) for low-abundance (within 200) microbial genera. We found that the bacterial community cooperated to regulate humus and humic acid synthesis. The microbial genera that make up the bacterial community are different, but each bacterial community may have the same ecological function. Quorum sensing affects humic acid synthesis by regulating carbohydrate metabolism and amino acid metabolism in bacterial communities through mechanisms such as the pentose phosphate pathway and the shikimate pathway. This work presents an understanding of the impact of quorum sensing on the collaboration between bacterial communities during composting.

Abstract
Over a three-year field trial, the impacts of composted and raw gentamicin fermentation waste (GFW) application to land on residual soil gentamicin levels, physicochemical properties, bacterial community composition, and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were assessed. In the saline-alkali soil tested, GFW application decreased electrical conductivity (EC) and pH. Importantly, there was no measurable long-term accumulation of gentamicin as a result of GFW addition. Changes in the abundance of Bacillus was primarily associated with degradation of gentamicin in soil, whereas wider (i.e. more general) shifts in bacterial communities over the treatments was linked to alteration of soil physicochemical properties, particularly pH, total nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, EC, NO3--N and NH4+-N. Compared with other treatments, soils receiving composted GFW harbored more types of ARGs and significantly higher (P < 0.05) abundances of mobile genes elements (MGEs) (especially IncQ and Int1) and aminoglycoside ARGs (especially aminoglycoside phosphotransferases genes, APH). Finally, the abundances of ARGs in soils receiving raw and composted GFW were 59.60% and 50.26% higher than that in soils only receiving chemical fertilizer, respectively. Specifically, the abundances of APH, especially strB, were significantly higher than other kinds of ARGs (P < 0.05). The results of linear regression and partial least squares path model showed that MGEs, including plasmids, integrons, and transposons, along with soil properties (EC and NH4+-N) were the main factors associated with change in ARGs. Furthermore, different MGEs were involved in different transfer mechanisms of specific ARGs. Our findings demonstrated the potential risks of using raw and composted GFW as fertilizer, and suggest potential solutions to this problem.

Abstract
In this study, the effects of penicillin G (PENG) on the fate of bacterial communities and β-lactamase antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during chicken manure composting were assessed, to illustrate the roles of PENG in ARGs behavior. The results showed that the total absolute abundances of 9 ARGs and 4 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) was significantly increased by PENG (P < 0.05). Dozens of potential hosts for ARGs were predominantly affiliated with Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria. Meanwhile, the higher concentration of PENG significantly increased the abundance of luxI and luxS in quorum sensing (QS) (P < 0.05), which enhanced the frequency of inter/intraspecific gene "communication." Redundancy analysis and structural equation modeling further revealed that QS had a strong regulatory role in horizontal gene transfer of ARGs mediated via MGEs. These results provide new insight into the mechanism of ARGs propagation in aerobic composting modified by PENG.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2021; 283:111984.

Abstract
Thermal treatment and composting are effective methods of degrading antibiotics and organic matter in penicillin fermentation residues (PFR), respectively. However, the composting efficiency and environmental safety of thermally treated PFR (HT-PFR) remain unclear. In this study, HT-PFR was composted with cattle manure and maize straw at ratios of 0:1:1 (CK), 1.5:1:1 (T1), and 5:1:1 (T2). Changes in physicochemical properties, seed germination index (GI), and microbial antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were determined. Addition of HT-PFR significantly reduced the C:N ratio of each compost (P < 0.05) and prolonged the thermophilic stage. The GI of CK and T1 composts increased during processing, whereas that of T2 compost remained low. The PO43- concentrations of T1 and T2 composts were 6.3- and 11.1-fold higher than that of CK, respectively. HT-PFR contained relatively small amounts of mineral elements, and composting it with cattle manure and maize straw provided balanced nutrients for plant growth. After 52 days of composting, most ARGs of the microflora were reduced to low levels, but blaTEM increased significantly in T2 compost. Overall, composting HT-PFR at up to 42% of a mix containing equal parts of cattle manure and wheat straw is an environmentally safe and effective way of transforming it into organic fertilizer.

Abstract
AbstractAntibiotics have been regarded as the emerging contaminants because of their massive use in humans and veterinary medicines and their persistence in the environment. The global concern of antibiotic contamination to different environmental matrices and the emergence of antibiotic resistance has posed a severe impact on the environment. Different mass-spectrometry-based techniques confirm their presence in the environment. Antibiotics are released into the environment through the wastewater steams and runoff from land application of manure. The microorganisms get exposed to the antibiotics resulting in the development of antimicrobial resistance. Consistent release of the antibiotics, even in trace amount into the soil and water ecosystem, is the major concern because the antibiotics can lead to multi-resistance in bacteria which can cause hazardous effects on agriculture, aquaculture, human, and livestock. A better understanding of the correlation between the antibiotic use and occurrence of antibiotic resistance can help in the development of policies to promote the judicious use of antibiotics. The present review puts a light on the remediation, transportation, uptake, and antibiotic resistance in the environment along with a novel approach of creating a database for systemic remediation, and metabolomics for the cleaner and safer environment.

Abstract
Hydrothermal pretreatment can efficiently remove the residual antibiotics in oxytetracycline fermentation residue (OFR), but its effect on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting remains unclear. This study compared the shifts in bacterial community and evolutions in ARGs and integrons during different composting processes of OFRs with and without hydrothermal pretreatment. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal pretreatment increased the bacterial alpha diversity at the initial phase, and increased the relative abundances of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria but decreased that of Bacteroidetes at the final phase by inactivating mycelia and removing residual oxytetracycline. Composting process inevitably elevated the abundance and relative abundance of ARGs. However, the increase in ARGs was significantly reduced by hydrothermal pretreatment, because the removal of oxytetracycline decreased their potential host bacteria and inhibited their horizontal gene transfer. The results demonstrated that hydrothermal pretreatment is an efficient strategy to reduce the enrichment of ARGs during the OFR composting.

Abstract
Green tea residues (GTRs) are byproducts of tea production and processing, and this type of agricultural waste retains nutritious components. This study investigated the co-composting of GTRs with swine manure, as well as the effects of GTRs on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the bacterial community during co-composting. The temperature and C/N ratio indicate compost was mature after processing. The addition of GTRs effectively promoted the reduction in the abundances of most targeted ARGs (tet and sul genes), mobile genetic element (MGE; intI1), and metal resistance genes (MRGs; pcoA and tcrB). Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that GTRs can reduce the abundance of MRGs and ARGs by reducing the bioavailability of heavy metals. Network analysis shows that Firmicutes and Actinobacteria were the main hosts of ARGs and ARGs, MGEs, and MRGs shared the same potential host bacteria. Adding GTRs during composting may reduce ARGs transmission through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). GTRs affected the bacterial community, thereby influencing the variations in the ARG profiles and reducing the potential risk associated with the compost product.

Abstract
A membrane-covered composting system was used to investigate the odor emission and microbial community succession during biogas residue composting. Results showed that in comparison with the control (CK) group, the NH3 and H2S emissions outside the membrane of the membrane-covered (CT) group decreased by 58.64% and 38.13%, respectively. The nitrogen preservation rate of the CT group was increased by 17.27% in comparison with the CK group. Moreover, the ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen contents of the CT group were 37.68% and 11.77% higher than those of the CK group, respectively. Microbial analysis showed that the average abundance and co-occurrence rate of ammonification bacteria dominated by Pseudomonas and Bacillus in the CT group were lower than those in the CK group, and the abundance of anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) dominated by Desulfovibrio in the CT group was higher than that in the CK group.

Abstract
Aerobic composting is a bacteria-driven process to degrade and recycle wastes. This study quantified the kinetics of bacterial growth and decay during pig manure-wheat straw composting, which may provide insights into microbial reaction mechanisms and composting operations. First, a propidium monoazide-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PMA-qPCR) method was developed to quantify the viable bacteria concentration of composting samples. The optimal PMA concentration and light exposure time were 100 μM and 8 min respectively. Subsequently, the concentrations of total and decayed bacteria were quantified. Viable and decayed bacteria coexisted during the entire composting period (experiments A and B), and the proportion of viable bacteria finally fell to only 35.1%. At the beginning, bacteria grew logarithmically and decayed rapidly. Later, the bacterial growth in experiment A remained stable, while that of experiment B was stable at first and then decomposed. The duration of the stable stage was positively related to the soluble sugar content of composting materials. The logarithmic growth and rapid decay of bacteria followed Monod equations with a specific growth (0.0317 ± 0.0033 h-1 ) and decay rate (0.0019 ± 0.0000 h-1 ). The findings better identified the bacterial growth stages and might enable better prediction of composting temperatures and the degree of maturation.

Abstract
Recycling organic wastes to arable land as fertilizers has been recognized as a sustainable utilization to reduce environmental pollution. Techniques used for the treatment of organic wastes determine their nutrient contents and thus fertilizer efficiency for agricultural applications. The current study investigated the influences of composting and carbon based materials (biochar and woody peat), on carbon and nitrogen loss in the process of agricultural wastes utilization in the soil batch experiments. The results indicated composting process significantly strengthened the organic matter mineralization, increased the carbon loss rates from 33.46-38.96% to 60.54-86.15% and the nitrogen loss rates from 5.01-22.22% to 48.64-58.16%, dominant lost as carbon dioxide (CO2) and ammonia (NH3) emissions. Addition of carbon based materials could effectively reduce the carbon and nitrogen loss during both composting and soil incubation process. When the composted organic wastes were used in the soil batch experiments, woody peat was more effective to reduce nitrogen loss, while biochar was more effective to control carbon loss. When organic wastes were directly fertilized to soil, biochar could effectively reduce nitrogen loss. These results suggested that fertilizing raw agricultural wastes to with carbon based materials could reduce carbon and nitrogen losses, and increased the nutrient bioavailability in soil in comparison with their farmland application after composting.

Comparing the effects of three in situ methods on nitrogen loss control, temperature dynamics and maturity during composting of agricultural wastes with a stage of temperatures over 70 °C.

Abstract
The study investigated the effects of three in situ methods for controlling nitrogen loss and maturity with different mechanisms: struvite-based addition (K2HPO4 and MgO, MP), woody peat addition (WP) and intermittent aeration (IA), during composting of vegetable waste (cucumber vine) with temperature over 70 °C to inactivate potential viral pathogens. The experiment was conducted in a 200 L pilot-scale composting system, with which temperature and ammonia emission were recorded in real time, and solid samples were collected and analyzed during the process. The results indicated that the methods of MP and IA reduced the total nitrogen loss by 27.5% and 16.1%, respectively, without inhibitory effects on the temperature, nutrient availability and maturity. The WP method significantly decreased the nitrogen loss but could not maintain the thermophilic stage over 70 °C, because of its influence on the material physio-chemical characteristics caused by woody peat addition. In conclusion, all three methods could promote the maturity process, and 20 days should be adequate for vegetable waste composting with a good nutrient availability. Considering the two factors of reducing nitrogen loss and achieving high temperatures together, we recommended the struvite-based controlling method with the mechanism of chemisorption to reduce nitrogen loss during vegetable waste composting that requires temperatures over 70 °C.

Abstract
This study explored the effects of co-composting of lincomycin mycelia dregs (LMDs) with furfural slag on variations in antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the bacterial community. The results showed that more than 99% lincomycin was reduced after composting. Moreover, the total absolute and relative abundance of ARGs increased by 180 and 5 times, respectively. The gene lnuA was detected in the LMDs compost and it was proved to participate in lincomycin biodegradation based on the analysis of Pearson's correlation and the lincomycin degradation byproducts. Redundancy analysis showed the succession of the bacterial community had a greater influence than the environmental parameters (residual lincomycin, C/N, pH and temperature) on the variation of ARGs during composting. Composting was not effective in reducing most of the ARGs and intI1 and thus the LMDs compost is dangerous to the ecological environment.

Abstract
In this study, the co-composting performance of Zn-rich antibiotic manufacturing wastes (AMW) and pig manure (PM) was evaluated. Four treatments, representing 2.5%, 5%, 10% and 20% of AMW (of PM dry weight) and control without AMW, were established during composting. Results suggested that the temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, NH4+-N and germination index in end product met the maturity and sanitation requirement. More than 99% of residual antibiotic was removed. Compared with PM composting alone, the cumulative CH4 and N2O emissions in AMW composting increased by 13.46-79.00% and 10.78-65.12%, respectively. While the higher mixing ratios of AMW (10% and 20%) presented a negative impact on composing by inhibiting organic matter (OM) degradation and higher NH3 emissions. The AMW had highly bioavailable Zn, but the exchangeable faction of Zn significantly decreased with the composting progress.

Abstract
This paper investigated the effect of co-composting of lincomycin mycelia dregs (LMDs) with furfural slag on the degradation of lincomycin, maturity and microbial communities. Results showed that after 66 days composting, the concentration of lincomycin was removed above 99%. The final pH, C/N and germination index (GI) all met the national standards in maturity. Enumeration of total cultivable microbes showed the composting process was not inhibited by the addition of LMDs. Microbial diversity suggested that co-composting was beneficial to increase the abundance and diversity of bacterial communities for LMDs' treatment. Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) indicated the bacteria communities were strongly affected by residual lincomycin, with lincomycin reduced greatly, microbial communities of T and CK became similar at the end of composting. The potential bacteria to degrade lincomycin were Anaerococcus, Peptostreptococcus, and Lactobacillus. Based on these results, this research indicated that the co-composting was a feasible treatment for LMDs.

Abstract
To degrade the residual penicillin G in penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD), thermal treatment was used as a pretreatment for practical disposal. Given that the characteristics of treated-PMD aren't adequately clear, a lab-scale experiment was conducted to verify its safety assessment for land application under the following points: (i) variation of penicillin G residue (ii) maturity of organic matter (OM) (iii) phytotoxicity (iv) abundance of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). A high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction (HT-qPCR) method was used to perform an overall investigation of soil ARGs. The results show that heat treatment effectively degrades 98% of penicillin in PMD within 120 min. After thermal treatment, the treated-PMD was applied to soil. The original penicillin level was considerably lower and completely degraded within 4 days. Variation of germination index (GI) implied that the created phytotoxicity was significantly reduced. Furthermore, compared with PMD, the addition of treated-PMD didn't cause enrichment of soil ARGs in diversity and abundance. Therefore, heat treatment can be considered as an effective pretreatment for PMD practical application.

Abstract
In the world, 10 billion tons of solid wastes were produced each year. Composting is a better method for solid waste management. Vegetable production now tends to be soilless cultivation. However, completed compost is not suitable for vegetable cultivation. So we studied bagasse (BS), corncobs (CC) and sawdust (SD) as composting materials and investigated stopping in the thermophilic phase for different durations (35, 45, and 65 days). Subsequently, cucumbers were transplanted into nine composted samples mixed with vermiculite at a ratio of 1:1 (v/v). The results obtained during the composting of the three composts (BS, CC and SD) showed that composting for 35 and 45 days increased the root temperature by 1.0-2.2 °C during January and February compared to the effects of composting for 65 days. In addition, microbial community numbers were significantly increased (P < 0.05) by composting for 35 and 45 days compared to those observed when composting for 65 days. Additionally, composting for 35 and 45 days resulted in the highest net leaf photosynthesis rate, total dry matter and cucumber yield among all treatments. Bacterial community numbers, net photosynthesis rate and physico-chemical parameters (bulk density, water-holding porosity, pH, total K (TK) and TOC) had a positive correlation with yield. Therefore, composting for 35 days creates a suitable substrate for cucumber production and facilitates the use of agricultural waste to achieve significant ecological and economic benefits.

Abstract
It is very important to reduce methane production and emission during aerobic composting. In this study, the effects of covering with a semi-permeable membrane during pig manure and wheat straw composting were investigated. Two laboratory-scale composting reactors were used: the membrane covered treatment (treatment A) and the control treatment (treatment B). Composting in treatment A effectively improved the oxygen utilization rate and decreased methane emissions by 22.42% relative to the control treatment. Quantification of functional genes and Pearson rank correlations showed that the mcrA and mcrA/pmoA gene abundances were significantly positively correlated with temperature and negatively correlated with the interstitial oxygen concentration, and that the pmoA gene abundance was positively correlated with the carbon: nitrogen ratio and moisture content. Therefore, increasing the aeration rate and optimizing the carbon: nitrogen ratio and moisture content will decrease methane emissions. Together, the results demonstrate that coverage membrane could be a novel strategy for reducing methane emissions during composting.

Abstract
In this study, aerobic co-composting of tylosin fermentation dregs (TFDs) and sewage sludge with different adding concentrations of copper (Cu) was investigated to inspect the fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), metal resistance genes (MRGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs). Results showed that two concentrations of Cu did affect not only the abiotic factors but the relative abundances of resistance genes. High concentration of Cu inhibited the metabolic capacity of microbial community and the nitrogen-fixing process while had little effect on the degradation of TYL and TOC. The abundance of ermT, mefA, mphA increased partly attributed to the toxic effects and co-selective pressure from heavy metal reflected by MRGs. There was significant correlation among some environmental factors like pH, bio-Cu, organic matters and ARGs.

Abstract
Utilization as dry mycelial fertilizer (DMF) produced from penicillin fermentation fungi mycelium (PFFM) with an acid-heating pretreatment is a potential way. To study the transformation and stability of water-extractable organic matter in DMF-amended soil via fluorescence regional integration (FRI) of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM), a soil experiment in pot was carried out. The results showed that residual penicillin (about 32 mg/kg) was almost degraded in the first 5 days, indicating that the drug pollution was in control. The pH value, DOC, DON, and DOC/DON presented a classical profile, but germination index (GI) leveled off about 0.13 till day 13 in DMF-12% treatment due to the severe phytotoxicity. The addition of DMF significantly increased the soil microbial populations in contrast to the CON treatment. The EEM showed that the protein-like and microbial byproduct-like matters vanished on the 25th and 33rd days, whereas the fulvic-like substances appeared on the 7th day. The humic-like substances existed in original samples but their content greatly enhanced finally. The FRI results showed that P V, n/P III, n reached the highest value of 1.84 on the 25th day, suggesting that DMF maintained stable in amended soil. Because of its consistency with the results of GI and DOC/DON, the EEM-FRI has a potential to evaluate the stability of DMF in soil.

Abstract
An indoor co-composting of gentamicin fermentation residues (GFR) and lovastatin fermentation residues (LFR) inoculated with gentamicin-degrading Aspergillus terreus FZC3 was conducted to remove gentamicin residues. The results showed that treatment MFZC3, consisting of a 10:1 blend of GFR and LFR (w/w), had the longest thermophilic phase (7days), quickest gentamicin degradation (t½=4.4days), and relatively higher gentamicin degradation percentage (96.7%) at the end of composting. Addition of Aspergillus terreus FZC3 affected fungal diversity of the compost and improved the removal of gentamicin during composting of the 15:1 GFR:LFR blend. By analyzing the variations of gentamicin and fungal community dynamics, it was speculated that Aspergillus terreus could accelerate gentamicin degradation. The microbial community and dynamic during composting were deeply affected by the physicochemical properties, and vice versa. In conclusion, co-composting of GFR with LFR could be a promising technology to solve the problem of gentamicin residue in GFR waste.

Abstract
To determine the suitable feeding ratio for fed-batch aerobic composting, four fermenters were operated by adding 0%, 5%, 10% or 15% of food waste every day. The results showed that the 5% and 10% treatments were able to maintain continuous thermophilic conditions, while the 15% treatment performed badly in regard to composting temperature, which was probably due to the negative effects of excessive moisture on microbial activity. As composting proceeded, both the 5% and the 10% treatments reached maturity and achieved weight losses of approximately 65%. High-throughput sequencing results indicated that Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria were the dominant phyla of the community structure. The communities sampled at the thermophilic phases had high similarity and relatively low diversity, while species diversity increased in the maturity phase. This study was devoted to optimizing the fed-batch composting process and assessing bacterial communities, both of which were supplied as a reference for practical application.

Abstract
The dry mycelium fertilizer (DMF) was produced from penicillin fermentation fungi mycelium (PFFM) following an acid-heating pretreatment to degrade the residual penicillin. In this study, it was applied into soil as fertilizer to investigate its effects on soil properties, phytotoxicity, microbial community composition, enzyme activities, and growth of snap bean in greenhouse. As the results show, pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, total potassium, and organic matter of soil with DMF treatments were generally higher than CON treatment. In addition, the applied DMF did not cause heavy metal and residual drug pollution of the modified soil. The lowest GI values (<0.3) were recorded at DMF8 (36 kg DMF/plat) on the first days after applying the fertilizer, indicating that severe phytotoxicity appeared in the DMF8-modified soil. Results of microbial population and enzyme activities illustrated that DMF was rapidly decomposed and the decomposition process significantly affected microbial growth and enzyme activities. The DMF-modified soil phytotoxicity decreased at the late fertilization time. DMF1 was considered as the optimum amount of DMF dose based on principal component analysis scores. Plant height and plant yield of snap bean were remarkably enhanced with the optimum DMF dose.

Abstract
To investigate characteristics of water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) from different stages and evaluate the maturity for co-composting penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD) via fluorescence regional integration (FRI) of fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (EEM), a pilot-scale co-composting was carried out. The results showed that a classical temperature profile showed and a degradation rate of 98.1% for residual penicillin was obtained on the 6th day. DOC and DOC/DON ratio were in a low level of 4.0 g kg(-1) and 3.7, respectively, after the 32nd day. In addition, respirometric rate (SOUR) decreased to 0.87 mg O2 g(-1) VS h(-1) finally. The EEM showed that the specific Ex/Em peak related to microbial byproduct-like vanished on the 32nd day, while those related to fulvic-like and humic acid-like appearing on the 24th day. The fluorescence regional integration (FRI) results demonstrated that PV,n/PIII,n increased to 3.28 finally, suggesting a desirable maturity for co-composting PMD. The EEM-FRI consequently has the potential for characterizing the WEOM from the co-composting of PMD.

Abstract
In this work, penicillin fermentation dregs (PFDs) and sewage sludge (SWS) were co-composted to analyze the possibility of recycling nutrients in PFDs. The temperature was maintained above 55°C for more than 3 days, and the final electrical conductivity (EC), pH and C/N all met the national standards in maturity. A nearly 100% removal of the residual penicillin was achieved, and the seed germination index (GI) increased from 0.02% to 83.54±3.1% by the end of the composting process. However, monitoring the quantity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) showed that the logarithm of the number of copies of blaTEM increased from 4.17±0.19 at the initial phase to 8.92±0.27 by the end of the composting process, which means that there is a high risk for land use when using PFD compost products.
