Yang H, Li Q. Modifying humus-phosphorus-arsenic interactions in sludge composting: The strengthening of phosphorus availability and arsenic efflux detoxification mechanisms. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 470:134131. [PMID: 38552390 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134131] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/24/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) in sewage sludge poses a significant threat to environmental and human health, which has attracted widespread attention. This study investigated the value of adding sodium percarbonate (SP) on phosphorus (P) availability and As efflux detoxification through HS-P-As interactions. Due to the unique structure of humus (HS) and the similar chemical properties of P and As, the conditions for HS-P-As interaction are provided. This study discussed the content, morphology and microbial communities of HS, P and As by using metagenomic and correlation analysis. The results showed that the humification index in the experiment group (SPC) was 2.34 times higher than that in the control group (CK). The available phosphorus (AP) content of SPC increased from 71.09 mg/kg to 126.14 mg/kg, and SPC was 1.11 times that of CK. The relative abundance of ACR3/ArsB increased. Pst, Actinomyces and Bacillus commonly participated in P and As conversion. The correlation analysis revealed that the humification process was enhanced, the AP was strengthened, and the As was efflux detoxified after SP amendment. All in all, this study elucidated the key mechanism of HS-P-As interaction and put forward a new strategy for sewage sludge resource utilization and detoxification.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 400:130696. [PMID: 38614144 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130696] [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: 10/26/2023] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
Understanding large-scale composting under natural conditions is essential for improving waste management and promoting sustainable agriculture. In this study, corn straw (400 tons) and pig manure (200 tons) were composted with microbial inoculants. The thermophilic phase of composting lasted for fourteen weeks, resulting in an alkaline final product. Microbial systems with low-temperature initiation and high-temperature fermentation played a crucial role in enhancing lignocellulose degradation and humic substances (HS) formation. Adding microbes, including Rhodanobacter, Pseudomonas, and Planococcus, showed a positive correlation with degradation rates of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Bacillus, Planococcus, and Acinetobacter were positively correlated with HS formation. Microorganisms facilitated efficient hydrolysis of lignocelluloses, providing humic precursors to accelerate composting humification through phenolic protein and Maillard pathways. This study provides significant insights into large-scale composting under natural conditions, contributing to the advancement of waste management strategies and the promotion of sustainable agriculture.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120145. [PMID: 38306857 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120145] [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: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024]
Abstract
This work aimed to investigate the microbial mechanisms for the improvement of composting efficiency driven by the compound microbial inoculum (MI) (Bacillus subtilis SL-44, Enterobacter hormaechei Rs-189 and Trichoderma reesei) during co-composting of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and chicken manure (CM). The treatments used in the study were as follows: 1) MI (inoculation with microbial inoculum), 2) CI (inoculation with commercial microbial inoculum), and 3) CK (without inoculation). The results demonstrated that MI increased the seed germination index (GI) by 25.11%, and contents of humus, humic acid (HA) and available phosphorus (AP) were correspondingly promoted by 12.47%, 25.93% and 37.16%, respectively. The inoculation of MI increased the temperature of the thermophilic stage by 3-7 °C and achieved a cellulose degradation rate of 52.87%. 16S rRNA gene analysis indicated that Actinobacteria (11.73-61.61%), Firmicutes (9.46-65.07%), Proteobacteria (2.86-32.17%) and Chloroflexi (0.51-10.92%) were the four major phyla during the inoculation composting. Bacterial metabolic functional analysis revealed that pathways involved in amino acid and glycan biosynthesis and metabolism were boosted in the thermophilic phase. There was a positive correlation between bacterial communities and temperature, humification and phosphorus fractions. The average dry weight, fresh weight and seedling root length in the seedling substrates adding MI compost were 1.13, 1.23 and 1.06 times higher than those of the CK, respectively. This study revealed that biological inoculation could improve the composting quality and efficiency, potentially benefiting the resource utilization of agricultural waste resources.

[PMID: 38132553 PMCID: PMC10742262 DOI: 10.3390/biomimetics8080613] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 12/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Various processes designed for the humification (HF) of animal husbandry wastes, primarily bird droppings, reduce their volumes, solve environmental problems, and make it possible to obtain products with artificially formed humic substances (HSs) as analogues of natural HSs, usually extracted from fossil sources (coal and peat). This review studies the main characteristics of various biological and physicochemical methods of the HF of animal wastes (composting, anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonation, acid or alkaline hydrolysis, and subcritical water extraction). A comparative analysis of the HF rates and HS yields in these processes, the characteristics of the resulting artificial HSs (humification index, polymerization index, degree of aromaticity, etc.) was carried out. The main factors (additives, process conditions, waste pretreatment, etc.) that can increase the efficiency of HF and affect the properties of HSs are highlighted. Based on the results of chemical composition analysis, the main trends and preferences with regard to the use of HF products as complex biomimetics are discussed.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the action mechanism of fungal community on the enhancement of humification during chicken manure composting by regulating the core pathway of carbon metabolism - the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Regulators adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and malonic acid were added at the beginning of composting. The analysis of changes in humification parameters showed that the humification degree and stability of compost products were improved by adding regulators. Compared with CK, the humification parameters of adding regulators group increased by 10.98% on average. Meanwhile, adding regulators not only increased key nodes, but also strengthened the positive correlation between fungi, and network relationship was closer. Moreover, core fungi associated with humification parameters were identified by constructing OTU networks, and the division and cooperation mechanism of fungi were confirmed. Ultimately, the functional role of the fungal community acting on humification was confirmed by statistical means, that was, the fungal community promoting humification was the main group of composting process. And the contribution was more obvious in ATP treatment. This study was helpful to gain insight into the mechanism of regulators addition to advance the humification process, and provided new ideas for the safe, efficient and harmless disposal of organic solid waste.

Abstract
Composting is an effective technology to realize resource utilization of food waste in rural China. However, high oil content in food waste limits composting humification. This study investigated the effects of blended plant oil addition at different proportions (0, 10, 20, and 30%) on the humification of food waste composting. Oil addition at 10%-20% enhanced lignocellulose degradation by 16.6%-20.8% and promoted humus formation. In contrast, the high proportion of oil (30%) decreased the pH, increased the electrical conductivity, and reduced the seed germination index to 64.9%. High-throughput sequencing showed that high oil inhibited the growth and reproduction of bacteria (Bacillus, Fodinicurvataceae, and Methylococcaceae) and fungi (Aspergillus), attenuated their interaction, thus, reducing the conversion of organic matter, such as lignocellulose, fat, and total sugar, to humus, consequently leading to negative impacts on composting humification. The results can guide composting parameter optimization and improve effective management of rural food waste.

Abstract
Carbon neutrality is now receiving global concerns for the sustainable development of human societies, of which how to reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and enhance carbon conservation and sequestration becomes increasingly critical. Therefore, this study conducted a meta-analysis and literature review to assess carbon loss and to explore the main factors that impact carbon loss during organic solid waste (OSW) composting. The results indicated that over 40 % of carbon was lost through composting, mainly as CO2-C and merely as CH4-C. Experimental scale, feedstock varieties, composting systems, etc., all impacted the carbon loss, and there was generally higher carbon loss under optimal conditions (i.e., C/N ratio (15-25), pH (6.5-7.5), moisture content (65-75 %)). Most mitigation strategies in conventional composting (CC) systems (e.g., additive supplementary, feedstock adjustment, and optimized aeration, etc.) barely mediated the TC and CO2-C loss but dramatically reduced the emission of CH4-C through composting. Among them, feedstock adjustment by elevating the feedstock C/N ratio effectively reduced the TC loss, and chemical additives facilitated the conservation of both carbon and nitrogen. By comparison, there was generally higher carbon loss in the novel composting systems (e.g. hyperthermophilic and electric field enhanced composting, etc.). However, the impacts of different mitigation strategies and novel composting systems on carbon loss reduction through composting were probably underestimated for the inappropriate evaluation methods (composting period-dependent instead of maturity originated). Therefore, further studies are needed to explore carbon transformation through composting, to establish methods and standards for carbon loss evaluation, and to develop novel techniques and systems for enhanced carbon conservation through composting. Overall, the results of this study could provide a reference for carbon-friendly composting for future OSW management under the background of global carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Humic substances (HSs) are key indicators of compost maturity and are important for the composting process. The application of additives is generally considered to be an efficient and easy-to-master strategy to promote the humification of composting and quickly caught the interest of researchers. This review summarizes the recent literature on humification promotion by additives in the composting process. Firstly, the organic, inorganic, biological, and compound additives are introduced emphatically, and the effects and mechanisms of various additives on composting humification are systematically discussed. Inorganic, organic, biological, and compound additives can promote 5.58-82.19%, 30.61-50.92%, 2.3-40%, and 28.09-104.51% of humification during composting, respectively. Subsequently, the advantages and disadvantages of various additives in promoting composting humification are discussed and indicated that compound additives are the most promising method in promoting composting humification. Finally, future research on humification promotion is also proposed such as long-term stability, environmental impact, and economic feasibility of additive in the large-scale application of composting. It is aiming to provide a reference for future research and the application of additives in composting.

Abstract
This study focused on how adding ionic liquids (IL) affects composting humification. During the warming and thermophilic phases, addition of IL increased precursors content, and increased the polymerization of humus (HS) at later stages. Furthermore, the final HS and humic acid (HA) content of experimental groups (T) groups 129.79 mg/g and 79.91 mg/g were higher than in control group (CK) 118.57 mg/g and 74.53 mg/g, respectively (p < 0.05). IL up-regulated the gene abundance of metabolism for carbohydrate and amino acid (AA), and promoted the contributions of Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria, which affected humification. The redundancy analysis (RDA) results showed that the citrate-cycle (TCA cycle)(ko0020), pentose phosphate pathway (ko00030), pyruvate metabolism (ko00620), glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism (ko00630), propanoate metabolism (ko00640), butanoate metabolism (ko00650) positively correlated with HA and HI. HA and humification index (HI) positively correlated with AA metabolic pathways, and fulvic acid (FA) was negatively correlated with these pathways. Overall, metabolism for carbohydrate and AA metabolism favored compost humification. ILs improved metabolism for carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, thus enhancing humification.

Abstract
The performance of garden waste on spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and chicken manure (CM) co-composting efficiency and humification is unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of garden waste addition on SMS-CM co-composting physicochemical properties, humification process, and the spectral characteristics of dissolved organic matter (DOM). The results showed that garden waste improved the physicochemical properties of SMS-CM co-compost, the thermophilic period was advanced 2 days, the seed germination index increased by 30.2%, and the total organic carbon and total nitrogen content increased by 8.80% and 15.0%, respectively. In addition, garden waste increased humic substances (HS) and humic acid (HA) contents by 10.62% and 34.52%, respectively; the HI, PHA and DP increased by 31.53%, 43.19% and 55.53%, respectively; and the SUVA254 and SUVA280 of DOM also increased by 6.39% and 4.39%, respectively. In particular, HA content and DOM humification increase rapidly in the first 10 days. The increase of HA accounted for 52% of the total increase during composting. Fourier-transform infrared and two-dimensional correlation analysis further confirmed that garden waste could facilitate the degradation of organic molecules, including amino acids, polysaccharides, carboxyl groups, phenols, and alcohol, and contributed to the preferential utilization of carboxyl groups and polysaccharides and thus enhanced humification.

Effect of calcium peroxide dosage on organic matter degradation, humification during sewage sludge composting and application as amendment for Cu (II)-polluted soils. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 439:129592. [PMID: 35872452 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2022.129592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2022] [Revised: 06/18/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In this research, it was the first time to investigate the effect of two dosages (5% (T1) and 10% (T2), w/w) of calcium peroxide (CP) on organic matter degradation, humification during sewage sludge composting. Additionally, the complexation of Cu to humic substance (HS) derived from CP-compost compared to no CP addition-compost (CK) was also studied. Results showed that compared to CK, T1 and T2 significantly enhanced organic matter degradation and promoted the formation of HS. Two-dimensional correlation Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (2D-FTIR-COS) and Parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis revealed that the addition of CP accelerated the synthesis of HS with high aromatization degree and molecular weight than those in CK, owing to the oxidation of small molecules to form carboxyl. The stability constant (log KM) of Cu with CP-derived HS (log KM = 4.22-5.13) indicated a greater complexation ability than CK-derived HS (log KM = 4.05-4.45), due to the faster response of polysaccharides binding to Cu (II) and the higher humification degree of CP-derived HS. This study revealed the potential mechanisms of CP addition on the synthesis of HS and utilization of CP-compost product might provide an effective way to remedy Cu (II)-contaminated soils.

Abstract
Composting, as a conventional solid waste treatment method, plays an essential role in carbon and nitrogen conservation, thereby reducing the loss of nutrients and energy. However, some carbon- and nitrogen-containing gases are inevitably released during the process of composting due to the different operating conditions, resulting in carbon and nitrogen losses. To overcome this obstacle, many researchers have been trying to optimize the adjustment parameters and add some amendments (i.e., pHysical amendments, chemical amendments and microbial amendments) to reduce the losses and enhance carbon and nitrogen conservation. However, investigation regarding mechanisms for the conservation of carbon and nitrogen are limited. Therefore, this review summarizes the studies on physical amendments, chemical amendments and microbial amendments and proposes underlying mechanisms for the enhancement of carbon and nitrogen conservation: adsorption or conversion, and also evaluates their contribution to the mitigation of the greenhouse effect, providing a theoretical basis for subsequent composting-related researchers to better improve carbon and nitrogen conservation measures. This paper also suggests that: assessing the contribution of composting as a process to global greenhouse gas mitigation requires a complete life cycle evaluation of composting. The current lack of compost clinker impact on carbon and nitrogen sequestration capacity of the application site needs to be explored by more research workers.

Abstract
The mechanism of nitrogen transformation of sulfate radical (SO- 4⋅) in the process of composting is unclear. The objectives of this study were to investigate the influence of SO- 4⋅ on nitrogen biotransformation during composting and to compare the differences in physicochemical parameters and metagenomics analysis between CK (fresh dairy manure and bagasse pith) and PS (the composting raw materials added with potassium persulfate). The results indicated that SO-4⋅ guides electron transfer in the conversion of NH+4-N to NO- 3-N and breaches the extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) structure to promote nitrogen removal. Aminomonooxygenase (AMO) and nitrate reductase (NR) levels displayed an interactive relationship between microorganisms and substrates. Metagenomics analysis revealed distinct microbial community compositions and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways between nitrification and denitrification. Correlation analysis indicated that Methanobrevibacter, Bacillus and Pseudomonas were closely related to these processes. This work demonstrates the effect of SO- 4⋅ on nitrogen cycling and retention, and possible mechanisms of nitrification and denitrification during composting.

Abstract
In this study, a Fenton-like system was constructed by CaO2 and nano-Fe3O4 in the co-composting system of straw and sediment. Its effect on the passivation of heavy metals and the evolution of microbial community were investigated. The results showed that the establishment of CaO2-Fenton-like system increased the residual Cu and residual Zn by 27.62% and 16.80%, respectively. In addition, the CaO2-Fenton-like system facilitated the formation of humic acid (HA) up to 20.84 g·kg-1. Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the CaO2-Fenton-like system accelerated bacterial community succession and promoted the passivation of Cu and Zn. Structural equation models (SEMs) indicated that Fenton reaction affected Cu and Zn passivation by affecting pH, bacterial communities, and HA. This study shows that the CaO2-Fenton-like system could promote the application of composting in the remediation of heavy metals contamination in sediment.

The important role of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolism pathways and core bacterial communities in carbon sequestration during chicken manure composting. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 150:20-29.

Abstract
As a kind of livestock manure, chicken manure (CM) was rich in organic matter and microorganisms. However, a large amount of foul gas discharged by its random stacking not only threatened the environment, but also caused harm to human health. In view of the serious carbon loss and the unclear action mechanism of microbial community on carbon metabolism during CM composting, the effect of adding regulators on the sequestration of organic carbon was explored. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the regulation mechanism of adding tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) regulators on the core carbon metabolism pathway during CM composting. The results showed that the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and malonic acid (MA) slowed down organic carbon degradation, resulting in lower carbon loss rate, which were 64.99% (CK), 62.35% (MA), and 61.26% (ATP) in each treatment. By comparing the abundance and structure of the carbon-related bacterial communities in different treatments, it was found that adding ATP and MA not only reduced the bacterial community abundance, but also tended to be similar in bacterial community composition. Moreover, the microbial specificity related to carbon metabolism pathway was enhanced, while the related gene expression and gene abundance were weakened. The regulation of TCA cycle metabolism pathway was confirmed to be the main way to improve organic carbon content. These findings revealed the positive effects of ATP and MA on carbon fixation from the perspective of gene metabolism.

Abstract
Humic substances (HSs) occupy 80% of organic matter in soil and have been widely applied for soil remediation agents, potential battery materials, and adsorbents. Since the HS extraction rate is very low by microbial degradation in nature, artificial humification processes such as aerobic composting (AC) and hydrothermal treatment (HT) have attracted a great deal of attention as the most important strategies in HS production. This article aims to provide a state-of-the-art review on the development of conversion of biomass waste into HSs based on AC and HT for the first time in terms of mechanisms, characteristics of HSs’ molecular structure, and influencing factors. In addition, some differences based on the aforementioned information between AC and HT are reviewed and discussed in the conversion of biomass waste into HSs in a pioneering way. For biomass waste conversion, a feasible strategy on effective humification processes by combining AC with HT is proposed.

Abstract
Transforming organic waste into stable carbon by composting is an eco-friendly way. However, the complex environment, huge microbial community and complicated metabolic of composting have limited the directional transformation of organic carbon, which is also not conducive to the fixation of organic carbon. Therefore, this review is based on the formation of humus, a stable by-product of composting, to expound how to promote carbon fixation by increasing the yield of humus. Firstly, we have clarified the transformation regularity of organic matter during composting. Meanwhile, the microhabitat factors affecting microbial catabolism and anabolism were deeply analyzed, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the micro habitat regulation of directional transformation of organic matter during composting. Given that, a method to adjust the directional humification and stabilization of organic carbon has been proposed. Hoping the rapid reduction and efficient stabilization of organic waste can be realized according to this method.

Abstract
Astaxanthin is an important natural resource that is widely found in marine environments. Metabolic regulation is an effective method for improving astaxanthin production in Phaffia rhodozyma. Most studies have focused on single regulators, which have limited effects. In this study, 16 metabolic regulators were screened to improve astaxanthin production in high-yield and wild-type strains. Fluconazol and glutamic acid increased astaxanthin volumetric yield in MVP14 by 25.8 and 30.9%, respectively, while ethanol increased astaxanthin volumetric yield in DSM626, 29.3%. Furthermore, six additives that inhibit the competing pathways and promote the main pathway for astaxanthin synthesis were selected for combination treatment. We found that the optimal combination was penicillin, ethanol, triclosan, and fluconazol, which increased astaxanthin cell yield by 51%. Therefore, we suggest that simultaneously promoting the master pathways (mevalonate) and inhibiting competing pathways (fatty acid synthesis and ergosterol) is the best strategy to improve astaxanthin cell yield. Moreover, regulators of the biomass pathway should be avoided to improve cell yield. This study provides a technical basis for the utilisation of astaxanthin in P. rhodozyma.

Abstract
The effectiveness of newly isolated ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOBs; T-AOB-2, M-AOB-4 and MT-AOB-2-4) in promoting organic matter degradation and humification of cattle manure compost was explored. The results show that, compared with the control, the inoculation of AOBs (5%, v/w) promoted the humification process, particularly in the MT-AOB-2-4, which showed the lowest total organic carbon (19.13%) and dissolved organic carbon (2.61%), whereby humic substances (CEX) and humic acid (CHA) increased to 89.84 g/kg and 85.20 g/kg, and fulvic acid (CFA) decreased to 4.63 g/kg. The high-throughput sequencing and quantitative PCR showed that the abundance of Bacillaceae, amoA and nirS had a significant correlation with humification factors. Among the treatments, the inoculation of MT-AOB-2-4 provided the driving force for the composting process by enhancing the bacterial activity and had the most significant effect on the formation of humic substances and the efficiency of organic matter decomposition.

Abstract
This work aims to investigate the influence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ascorbic acid (ASCA) on the physicochemical characteristics, organic matter (OM) deconstructions, humification degree and succession of bacterial communities for co-composting of bagasse pith and dairy manure. The results indicated that H2O2 and ASCA accelerated the degradation of lignocellulose, improved the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM), and enhanced the content of humic substance (HS) and the degree of its aromatization. The bacterial communities were significantly changed in the presence of additives, in which the relative abundances of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria significantly increased. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that the degradation of OM and lignocellulose more influenced the bacterial community compositions. Conclusively, adding H2O2 and ASCA accelerated lignocellulose degradation efficiency, and improved the composting process, which provided an optimized method to dispose of lignocellulose wastes and livestock manure.

Abstract
The Fenton-like process was established by Fe3O4 nanomaterials (NMs) and Phanerochaete chrysosporium or oxalate, and applied to the co-composting of rice straw and sediment to study its effect on the formation of humic substance and the bioavailability of Cd, Cu, and Pb. Results shown that the application of Fenton-like process significantly promoted the passivation of Cd and Cu, while not shown obvious enhancement for Pb. The decrease of exchangeable fraction Cd (EXC-Cd) and the humic acid (HA) content in pile B with Fe3O4 NMs and oxalate were highest, which were 22.35% and 20.3 g/kg, respectively. Redundancy analyses (RDA) manifested that the Fenton-like process enhanced the influence of humus substance on the bioavailability of Cd, Cu, and Pb. Excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectra analysis suggested that Fenton-like process could obviously enhance the generation of humic substance. This research provides a new perspective and way for composting to remediate heavy metals pollution.

Effect of Microbial Inoculation on Carbon Preservation during Goat Manure Aerobic Composting. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26154441. [PMID: 34361594 PMCID: PMC8348721 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26154441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2021] [Revised: 07/09/2021] [Accepted: 07/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Carbon is the crucial source of energy during aerobic composting. There are few studies that explore carbon preservation by inoculation with microbial agents during goat manure composting. Hence, this study inoculated three proportions of microbial agents to investigate the preservation of carbon during goat manure composting. The microbial inoculums were composed of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Trichoderma viride, Aspergillus niger, and yeast, and the proportions were B1 treatment (1:1:1:1:2), B2 treatment (2:2:1:1:2), and B3 treatment (3:3:1:1:2). The results showed that the contents of total organic carbon were enriched by 12.21%, 4.87%, and 1.90% in B1 treatment, B2 treatment, and B3 treatment, respectively. The total organic carbon contents of B1 treatment, B2 treatment, and B3 treatment were 402.00 ± 2.65, 366.33 ± 1.53, and 378.33 ± 2.08 g/kg, respectively. B1 treatment significantly increased the content of total organic carbon compared with the other two treatments (p < 0.05). Moreover, the ratio of 1:1:1:1:2 significantly reduced the moisture content, pH value, EC value, hemicellulose, and lignin contents (p < 0.05), and significantly increased the GI value and the content of humic acid carbon (p < 0.05). Consequently, the preservation of carbon might be a result not only of the enrichment of the humic acid carbon and the decomposition of hemicellulose and lignin, but also the increased OTU amount and Lactobacillus abundance. This result provided a ratio of microbial agents to preserve the carbon during goat manure aerobic composting.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the action characteristics of metabolic regulators like adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) and malonic acid (MA) during rice straw (RS) and fruit and vegetable waste (FVW) composting. Results showed that due to the easy degradation difference, ATP and MA reduced CO2 emission in RS and FVW, respectively. Moreover, adding ATP and MA increased humic acids (HA) content in FVW more significantly (p < 0.05), especially for ATP. However, adding MA accelerated organic matter degradation during RS composting, which was basically consistent with CO2 emission, but it was not effective in promoting HA formation. Furthermore, the microbial community was reshaped by adding ATP and MA. Eventually, structural equation model further confirmed that adding metabolic regulators enhanced the biotic and abiotic pathways of HA formation, and the promotion effect of adding ATP was more obvious. The study has great practical significance for the dispose of agricultural waste.

Microbial mechanisms related to the effects of bamboo charcoal and bamboo vinegar on the degradation of organic matter and methane emissions during composting.

Abstract
In this study, functional microbial sequencing, quantitative PCR, and phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt) were employed to understand the microbial mechanisms related to the effects of bamboo charcoal (BC) and bamboo vinegar (BV) on the degradation of organic matter (OM) and methane (CH4) emissions during composting. BC + BV resulted in the highest degradation of OM. BV was most effective treatment in controlling CH4 emissions and it significantly reduced the abundance of the mcrA gene. Methanobrevibacter, Methanosarcina, and Methanocorpusculum were closely related to CH4 emissions during the thermophilic composting period. PICRUSt analysis showed that BC and/or BV enhanced the metabolism associated with OM degradation and reduced CH4 metabolism. Structural equation modeling indicated that BC + BV strongly promoted the metabolic activity of microorganisms, which had a positive effect on CH4 emissions. Together these results suggest that BC + BV may be a suitable composting strategy if the aerobic conditions can be effectively improved during the thermophilic composting period.

Abstract
This study is the first to investigate the changes in the composting process and carbon conversion in a cow manure-straw compost matrix with Bacillus subtilis added at four different levels (0, 0.5%, 1%, and 2% w/w compost), and to explain the mechanism responsible for carbon conversion through microbial functional metabolism. Inoculation with Bacillus subtilis at 2% had the best effect on fermentation among all treatments, but it inhibited the synthesis of total organic carbon and humus. Bacillus subtilis at 0.5% reduced mineralization in the cooling and maturity stages of composting, and enhanced the humification of carbon. The total organic carbon and humic sequence contents were significantly higher with Bacillus subtilis at 0.5% (12.5% and 20.2%, respectively) than Bacillus subtilis at 2% (P < 0.05). Redundancy analysis demonstrated that the pH and microbial functional metabolism were closely related to carbon sequestration during composting.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to detect the action properties of functional materials (FM) in transforming waste into resource products with high humus content. FM (MnO2 and reducing sugar) were added in different periods of chicken manure composting. During composting, concentration of humic acids (HA) as aromatic fraction of humus, was increased by FM. The promotive effects of adding FM in later period was the most obvious. While adding FM in the beginning period could accelerate organic matter degradation, but it did not promote HA formation. Meanwhile, the microbial diversity was higher in groups by adding FM in the beginning and thermophilic periods. Therefore, it was speculated that FM might improve HA formation by promoting the abiotic polymerization of precursors. Eventually, structural equation model showed that FM was beneficial to abiotic pathway of HA formation. But the formation efficiency was reduced by interfering with biotic pathway.

Abstract
The study aims to accelerate the formation of humin (HM) with the addition MnO2 to achieve carbon sequestration during different material composting. The results indicated that the addition of MnO2 could improve the concentration of HM by increasing of the content in functional groups during corn straw (CS) and chicken manure (CM) composting. With the addition of MnO2, non-aromatic functional groups were responsible for the increase of the HM concentration in CM, while aromatic functional groups were dominating for CS. Although the formation mechanism of HM varied significantly across different materials, the MnO2 promoted more abundant functional groups to participate the formation of recalcitrant fluorescence components in CS and CM. In addition, the aromatization of HM structure was improved by adding the MnO2. Therefore, the addition of MnO2 not only increase carbon sequestration but also increase the compost product resilience during the decompose of agricultural organic wastes.

Abstract
Transformation of DOM fractions with different molecular weights during composting of chicken manure (CM), garden waste (GW) and municipal solid waste (MSW) was evaluated in this study. The results revealed that DOM concentrations decreased by 49.8%, 53.9% and 86.4% during CM, GW and MSW composting, respectively. Meanwhile, low molecular weight (<650 Da) DOM was visibly transformed into high molecular weight (>10 kDa) DOM for enhancing their stability during composting. Core microorganisms promoting DOM stabilization were identified by network analysis, such as Prosthecobacter, Paenalcaligenes and Solibacillus. In addition, DOM composition was also related to the relative abundance of microbial metabolic function, such as chemoheterotrophy and aerobic chemoheterotrophy. Moreover, temperature, moisture and pH were identified as the key physicochemical factors affecting the DOM stabilization mediated by core microorganisms during composting. These above findings are helpful to regulate the DOM stabilization during composting and improve the quality of final composts.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to reduce nitrogen (N) loss and investigate the role of ammonia (NH3) recycling on N fractions, environmental factors and bacterial communities. In this study, collected NH3 from composting and recycled in it. The results showed that NH3 recycling affected N-cycling processes such as nitrification. Redundancy Analyses (RDA) showed that NH4+-N had significantly negative correlation with denitrifying bacteria in treatment group (p < 0.05), demonstrating that NH3 recycling have influenced on the bacterial community structure. Furthermore, Structural Equation Model (SEM) revealed causal relationships between visual variables. Based on these results, we concluded that NH3 recycling is a novel method to reduce N loss.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2019; 294:122239. [PMID: 31610491 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2019] [Revised: 09/28/2019] [Accepted: 10/01/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
This work was aimed to determine the effects of different minerals on humic acid (HA) formation. Minerals can stimulate the formation of complex compounds, however, whether they can promote the conversion of complex compounds to HA has not been verified. Four treatments were setup from chicken manure mixed with rice hull and then added biochar (BC), montmorillonite (MMT) and biochar combined with montmorillonite (BC-MMT) for composting, while the control check (CK) was composted without minerals. The results showed that HA concentration was increased by 28.09%, 40.79%, 45.39% and 38.96% during CK, BC, BC-MMT and MMT composting. However, the bacterial community was the main reason for affecting HA concentration. Network analysis showed that obligate and facultative core microbes drove HA formation, and these driving effects were affected by minerals. Therefore, the core bacterial community promoted HA formation, which provided an insightful method to improve HA production.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to remove heavy metals from composting system using a novel method combined functional bacteria with adsorbent materials. Four types of adsorbent materials were selected in this study. Results showed that Cr had significant removal efficiency, especially in sponge treatment (19.09%) and cotton treatment (26.36%). In addition, a significant movement of heavy metals from the outside to adsorbent column was also observed. RDA results indicated that bands 1, 2, 10, 18, 19 and 20 had negative correlations with six types of heavy metals, which contributed to the removal of heavy metals. Structural equation models further confirmed functional bacteria can directly affect the removal of Cu, Cd and Cr. In addition, it can also indirectly remove Pb and Cr by changing native bacteria. In summary, this study suggested the combination of functional bacteria and adsorbent materials was effective to remove heavy metals from composting system.

Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of biochar, montmorillonite and their mixture on nitrogen availability and nitrogen loss during chicken manure composting. Four lab-scale composting experiments, the control (CK), 5% biochar addition (BC), 5% montmorillonite addition (M) and 2.5% biochar + 2.5% montmorillonite addition (BCM), were established. Results showed that the addition of BC, M and BCM significantly improved the contents of bioavailable organic nitrogen and NH4+-N in composts. In addition, BC and BCM reduced N loss by 19.2% and 12.2%, respectively, in comparison with CK. Significant shift of key bacterial communities associated with N transformation were also found in four treatments. Redundancy analysis and structural equation models indicated different additives changed the correlation among bacterial communities, environmental factors and organic N fractions. Comparison of N availability and N loss indicated that the combination of biochar and montmorillonite are more effective than that of separate application during composting.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the effects of adding biochar and montmorillonite alone on the correlations between bacteria and bioavailability of heavy metals (HM) during chicken manure composting. Three composting experiments were conducted, containing the without ameliorant, 10% biochar and 10% montmorillonite. The results showed that biochar and montmorillonite ameliorants significantly reduced the bioavailability of Cu by 90.3%, 81.2%, while that of Zn by 11.7%, 15.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, they also significantly changed bacterial community structure and enhanced the correlation between bacterial bands (i.e., 19, 24, 26 and 30) and HM fractions. This correlation was validated in network analysis. Structural equation models further confirmed that bacteria had a complete and effective pathway to influence the bioavailability of HM. In summary, this study suggested that biochar and montmorillonite additions were an effective regulation method to reduce the bioavailability of HM from composting system.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the conversion characteristics of neutral sugars during different lignocellulose wastes composting from rice straw (RS), leaf (L) and mushroom dreg (MD). The results showed that the changes of neutral sugars were different during different wastes composting, but the changes of various hexose or pentose were similar during composting of the same material. The diversity of bacterial community led to different conversion characteristics of neutral sugars. During RS composting, each neutral sugar was transformed by a specific group of bacteria. However, a group of bacteria could transform multiple neutral sugars during MD and L composting. Furthermore, GM/AX value was first applied to composting, which could be used to characterize the conversion of neutral sugars during composting. This will help to provide more efficient recommendations for lignocellulose wastes treatment and accelerating humic substances synthesis during composting.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the effect of Fenton pretreatment on organic fractions, enzymes activities and microbial communities during composting. In this study, rice straw was chosen to be composted after pretreatment. The results indicated that Fenton pretreatment significantly increased the degradation of organic matter and coarse fiber contents, which might be the reason that Fenton pretreatment enhanced lignocellulose-degrading enzymes activities during composting, including CMCase, FPase, xylanase, manganese peroxidase, lignin peroxidase and laccase. Additionally, Fenton pretreatment reshaped bacteria community. The key enzymes and environmental factors, which affected organic fractions degradation were identified by redundancy analysis. Furthermore, structural equation modeling and variation partitioning analysis further revealed possible mechanisms of organic fractions degradation in different treatments during composting. In summary, the combined application Fenton pretreatment and composting improved lignocellulose degradation efficiency, which provided for an effective and environment-friendly way to manage lignocellulose wastes.
