The simultaneous addition of chitosan and peat enhanced the removals of antibiotics resistance genes during biogas residues composting. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 263:120109. [PMID: 39369780 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.120109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/18/2024] [Revised: 10/01/2024] [Accepted: 10/04/2024] [Indexed: 10/08/2024]
Abstract
Direct reuse of biogas residue (BR) has the potential to contribute to the dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Although high-temperature composting has been demonstrated as an effective method for the harmless treatment of organic waste, there is few researches on the fate of ARGs in high-temperature composting of BR. This research examined the impact of adding 5% chitosan and 15% peat on physicochemical characteristics, microbial communities, and removal of ARGs during BR-straw composting in 12 Biolan 220L composters for 48 days. Our results showed that the simultaneous addition of chitosan and peat extended the high-temperature period, and increased the highest temperature to 74 °C and germination index. These effects could be attributed to the presence of thermophilic cellulose-decomposing genera (Thermomyces and Thermobifida). Although the microbial communities differed compositionally among temperature stages, their dissimilarity drastically reduced at final stage, indicating that the impact of different treatments on microbial community composition decreases at the end of composting. Peat had a greater impact on aerobic genera capable of cellulose degradation at thermophilic stage than chitosan. Surprisingly, despite the total copy number of ARGs significantly decreased during composting, especially in the treatment with both chitosan and peat, intI1 gene abundance significantly increased 2 logs at thermophilic stage and maintained high level in the final compost, suggesting there is still a potential risk of transmission and proliferation of ARGs. Our work shed some lights on the development of waste resource utilization and emerging contaminants removal technology.

Yu M, Shao H, Wang P, Ren L. Metagenomic analysis reveals the mechanisms of biochar supported nano zero-valent iron in two-phase anaerobic digestion of food waste: microbial community, CAZmey, functional genes and antibiotic resistance genes. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 366:121763.

Abstract
The mechanisms of biochar supported nano zero-valent iron (BC/nZVI) on two-phase anaerobic digestion of food waste were investigated. Results indicated that the performance of both acidogenic phase and methanogenic phase was effectively facilitated. BC/nZVI with the amount of 120 mg/L increased methane production by 32.21%. In addition, BC/nZVI facilitated direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) between Geobacter and methanogens. Further analysis showed that BC/nZVI increased the abundance of most CAZymes in acidogenic phase. The study also found that BC/nZVI had positive effects on metabolic pathways and related functional genes. The abundances of acdA and ackA in acidogenic phase were increased by 151.75% and 36.26%, respectively, and the abundances of pilA and TorZ associated with DIET were also increased. Furthermore, BC/nZVI mainly removed IMP-12, CAU-1, cmeB, ErmR, MexW, ErmG, Bla2, vgaD, MuxA, and cpxA from this system, and reduced the antibiotic resistance genes for antibiotic inactivation resistance mechanisms.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 246:118033. [PMID: 38157957 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.118033] [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: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
The application of anaerobic digestion (AD) in the treatment of food waste (FW) has become widespread. However, the presence of inert substances, such as bones, ceramics, and shells, within FW introduces a degree of uncertainty into the AD process. To clarify this intricate issue, this study conducted an in-depth investigation into the influence of inert substances on AD. The results revealed that when inert substances were present at a concentration of 0.08 g/g VSS, methane productivity in the AD process was significantly augmented by 86%. Subsequent investigations suggested that this positive effect was primarily evident in various biochemical processes, including solubilization, hydrolysis acidification, methanogenesis, and the accumulation of extracellular polymeric substances. Metagenomic analysis showed that inert substances enhance the relative abundance of hydrolytic bacteria and have a pronounced impact on the relative abundance of hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanosarcina) and acetotrophic methanogens (Methanobacterium). Additionally, inert substances significantly increased the relative abundance of functional genes in oxidative phosphorylation, a pivotal pathway for ATP synthesis. Furthermore, inert substances had a substantial effect on the functional genes related to the metabolic pathways associated with methanogenesis (both hydrogenotrophic and acetotrophic). This comprehensive study shed light on the substantial impact of inert substances on the AD of food waste, contributing to an enhanced understanding of the underlying mechanisms of anaerobic fermentation.

Abstract
Kitchen waste was mainly composed of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of kitchen waste usually occurred acidification and further deteriorated. In our previous study, alkali pretreatment combined with bentonite (AP/Be) treatment was proved to enhance high solid AD of kitchen waste. However, effects of AP time on AP/Be were not yet studied. This study investigated the effects of AP time on AP/Be treatment on enhancing high solid AD. The results showed that compared with the control group, the cumulative methane production rate could be increased by 3.30 times (149.7 mL CH4/g VS) and the volatile solids (VS) reduction rate increased by 63.36%. Microbial community analysis showed that the relative abundance of Methanosarcina and Methanosaeta were increased from 6.49 and 7.83% to 47.14 and 16.39% respectively. Predictive functional analysis showed that AP/Be treatment increased the abundance of energy production and conversion, coenzyme transport, and metabolism. This study revealed the potential mechanism of AP/Be enhanced kitchen waste AD performance and AP/Be was a potential strategy to strengthen AD.

Abstract
The accumulation of a large amount of organic solid waste and the lack of sufficient protein supply worldwide are two major challenges caused by rapid population growth. Anaerobic digestion is the main force of organic waste treatment, and the high-value utilization of its products (biogas and digestate) has been widely concerned. These products can be used as nutrients and energy sources for microorganisms such as microalgae, yeast, methane-oxidizing bacteria(MOB), and hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria(HOB) to produce single cell protein(SCP), which contributes to the achievement of sustainable development goals. This new model of energy conversion can construct a bioeconomic cycle from waste to nutritional products, which treats waste without additional carbon emissions and can harvest high-value biomass. Techno-economic analysis shows that the SCP from biogas and digestate has higher profit than biogas electricity generation, and its production cost is lower than the SCP using special raw materials as the substrate. In this review, the case of SCP-rich microorganisms using anaerobic digestion products for growth was investigated. Some of the challenges faced by the process and the latest developments were analyzed, and their potential economic and environmental value was verified.

Abstract
The effects of microbial inoculants on ARG removal in composting are poorly understood. Here, a co-composting method for food waste and sawdust amended with different microbial agents (MAs) was designed. The results show that the compost without MA unexpectedly achieved the best ARG removal. The addition of MAs markedly increased the abundance of tet, sul and multidrug resistance genes (p < 0.05). Structural equation modeling demonstrated that MAs can enhance the contribution of the microbial community to ARG changes by reshaping community structure and altering the ecological niche, causing the proliferation of individual ARGs, an effect related to the MA component. Network analysis revealed that inoculants weakened the correlation between ARGs and community but increased the linkage between ARGs and core species, suggesting that inoculant-induced ARG proliferation may correspond with gene exchange occurring mainly between core species. The outcome provides new insights into MA application for ARG removal in waste treatment.

Abstract
Sludge stabilization was affected by solid content during autothermal thermophilic aerobic digestion (ATAD). Thermal hydrolysis pretreatment (THP) could alleviate the issues of high viscosity, slow solubilization and low ATAD efficiency caused by increased solid content. The influence of THP on the stabilization of sludge with different solid contents (5.24%-17.14%) during ATAD was investigated in this study. The results demonstrated that stabilization was achieved with volatile solid (VS) removal of 39.0%-40.4% after 7-9 days of ATAD for sludge with solid content of 5.24%-17.14%. The solubilization of sludge with different solid contents reached 40.1%-45.0% after THP. The rheological analysis indicated that the apparent viscosity of sludge was obviously reduced after THP at different solid contents. The increase in fluorescence intensity of fulvic acid-like organics, soluble microbial by-products and humic acid-like organics in the supernatant after THP and the decrease in fluorescence intensity of soluble microbial by-products after ATAD were detected by excitation emission matrix (EEM). The molecular weight (MW) distribution in the supernatant elucidated that the proportion of 50 kDa < MW < 100 kDa increased to 16%-34% after THP and the proportion of 10 kDa < MW < 50 kDa decreased to 8%-24% after ATAD. High throughput sequencing showed that the dominant bacterial genera shifted from Acinetobacter, Defluviicoccus and Norank_f__norank_o__PeM15 to Sphaerobacter and Bacillus during ATAD. This work revealed that solid content of 13%-17% was appropriate for efficient ATAD and rapid stabilization under THP.

Abstract
The promotion effects of biochar supported nano zero-valent iron (BC/nZVI) with different carbon/iron ratios on two-phase anaerobic digestion (AD) of food waste (FW) were studied. Results suggested that when the carbon/iron ratio was 3:1 AD system showed the best performance, with the concentration of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in acidogenic phase (AP) and the cumulative methane production in methanogenic phase (MP) increased by 31.4% and 24.8%, respectively. Metagenomic analysis demonstrated that BC/nZVI increased the relative abundance of Defluviitoga in AP, and promoted the growth of Methanothrix in MP. Metabolic pathway analysis in AP indicated that BC/nZVI mainly promoted the abundances of acetate kinase and butyrate kinase to enhance acid production. Methane metabolism pathway analysis in MP revealed that BC/nZVI increased methane production by promoting the module of M00357 and activating related enzymes. The results of this sutdy showed that BC/nZVI promoted AD of FW mainly through acetoclastic methanogenic pathway.

Abstract
Kitchen waste is an important component of domestic waste, and it is both harmful and rich in resources. Approximately 1.3 billion tons of kitchen waste are produced every year worldwide. Kitchen waste is high in moisture, is readily decayed, and has an unpleasant smell. Environmental pollution can be caused if this waste is treated improperly. Conventional treatments of kitchen waste (e.g., landfilling, incineration and pulverization discharge) cause environmental, economic, and social problems. Therefore, the development of a harmless and resource-based treatment technology is urgently needed. Profits can be generated from kitchen waste by converting it into biofuels. This review intends to highlight the latest technological progress in the preparation of gaseous fuels, such as biogas, biohythane and biohydrogen, and liquid fuels, such as biodiesel, bioethanol, biobutanol and bio-oil, from kitchen waste. Additionally, the pretreatment methods, preparation processes, influencing factors and improvement strategies of biofuel production from kitchen waste are summarized. Problems that are encountered in the preparation of biofuels from kitchen waste are discussed to provide a reference for its use in energy utilization. Optimizing the preparation process of biofuels, increasing the efficiency and service life of catalysts for reaction, reasonably treating and utilizing the by-products and reaction residues to eliminate secondary pollution, improving the yield of biofuels, and reducing the cost of biofuels, are the future directions in the biofuel conversion of kitchen waste.

Abstract
High solid anaerobic digestion (AD) has been considered as a promising and sustainable technology for treating kitchen waste. To enhance AD of kitchen waste, alkali pretreatment and bentonite addition treatment (AP/Be) was performed on kitchen waste, and microbial community was investigated at different total solids (TS) content (10%, 13%, 19%, 22% and 25%). The results indicated that after AP/Be treatment, methane yield was as high as 198 mL CH4/g volatile solid (VS), which increased by 236% as the control. Moreover, microbial community analysis revealed that AP/Be treatment enriched bacterial microbial diversity. At TS of 10%, AP/Be treatment enhanced the hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Methanobacterium) significantly. In addition, the dominant methanogenic pathways changed at different TS content. These results demonstrated AP/Be treatment had a positive effect on methanogenesis during kitchen waste anaerobic digestion process. This study threw new insights towards enhancing kitchen waste anaerobic digestion, as well as the microbial mechanism.

Abstract
The bioremediation of emerging recalcitrant pollutants in wastewater via enzyme biotechnology has been evolving as cost-effective with an input of low-energy technological approach. However, the enzyme based bioremediation technology is still not fully developed at a commercial level. The oxidoreductases being the domineering biocatalysts are promising candidates for wastewater treatments. Henceforth, comprehending their global market and biotransformation efficacy is mandatory for establishing these techno-economic bio-enzymes in commercial scale. The biocatalytic strategy can be established as a combinatorial approach with existing treatment technology to achieve towering bioremediation and effective removal of emerging pollutants from wastewater. This review provides a novel insight on the toxicological xenobiotics released from industries such as paper and pulps, soap and detergents, pharmaceuticals, textiles, pesticides, explosives and aptitude of peroxidases, nitroreductase and cellobiose dehydrogenase in their bio-based treatment. Moreover, the review comprehensively covers environmental relevance of wastewater pollution and the critical challenges based on remediation achieved through biocatalysts for future prospectives.

Abstract
Biogas generation using food waste anaerobic co-digestion with activated sludge provides a cleaner addressable system, an excellent solution to global challenges, the increasing energy demands, fuel charges, pollution and wastewater treatment. Regardless of the anaerobic digestate end product values, the technology lacks efficiency and process instability due to substrate irregularities. Process parameters and substrate composition, play a vital role in the efficiency and outcome of the system. Intrinsic biochar properties such as pore size, specific surface properties and cation exchange capacity make it an ideal additive that enriches microbial functions and enhances anaerobic digestion. The pretreatment and co-digestion of food waste and activated sludge are found to be significant for efficient biogas generation. The advantages, drawbacks, limitations, and technical improvements are covered extensively in the present review besides the recent advancement in the anaerobic digestion system.

Abstract
A large amount of food waste (FW) brings environmental pollution and sanitation problems. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective technology to treat FW and generate biogas energy. This study investigated the effect of biochar supported nano zero-valent iron (BC-nZVI) on AD performance of FW. Results showed that the cumulative methane yield (CMY) increased by 21.52%-54.90% and the lag time decreased significantly with BC-nZVI. Under mesophilic and thermophilic condition, the peak of CMY was achieved at 178.82 ± 5.27 mL/g VS and 193.01 ± 6.81 mL/g VS with 5 g/L BC-nZVI, respectively. Besides, BC-nZVI stimulated hydrolysis process and reduced the inhibition of NH4+-N and volatile fatty acids accumulation, and it could improve the system stability. Structural equation model analysis indicated that digestion time, BC-nZVI, NH4+-N, temperature and total volatile fatty acid had significant effects on CMY, explaining 92.20% of its total variation. The metagenomic analysis of key microorganisms and related metabolism pathways involved in AD system was further investigated. The results suggested that BC-nZVI contributed to strengthen methanogenesis through enriching the various predominant methanogenic pathways and activating most enzymes related to methane metabolism. BC-nZVI could improve the AD system function and provided a better AD performance by shifting the microbial communities and altering functional genes. This study provided a theoretical basis for BC-nZVI applications and improvements in AD process of FW.

Abstract
Landfill are important reservoirs of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). They harbor diverse contaminants, such as heavy metals and persistent organic chemicals, complex microbial consortia, and anaerobic degradation processes, which facilitate the occurrence, development, and transfer of ARGs and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). The main concern is that antibiotics and developed ARGs and ARB may transfer to the local environment via leachate and landfill leakage. In this paper, we provide an overview of established studies on antibiotics and ARGs in landfills, summarize the origins and distribution of antibiotics and ARGs, discuss the linkages among various antibiotics, ARGs, and bacterial communities as well as the influencing factors of ARGs, and evaluate the current treatment processes of antibiotics and ARGs. Finally, future research is proposed to fill the current knowledge gaps, which include mechanisms for the development and transmission of antibiotic resistance, as well as efficient treatment approaches for antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
The residual slurry obtained from the anaerobic digestion (AD) of biogas feed substrates such as livestock dung is known as BGS. BGS is a rich source of nutrients and bioactive compounds having an important role in establishing diverse microbial communities, accelerating nutrient use efficiency, and promoting overall soil and plant health management. However, challenges such as lower C/N transformation rates, ammonia volatilization, high pH, and bulkiness limit their extensive applications. Here we review the strategies of BGS valorization through microbial and organomineral amendments. Such cohesive approaches can serve dual purposes viz. green organic inputs for sustainable agriculture practices and value addition of biomass waste. The literature survey has been conducted to identify the knowledge gaps and critically analyze the latest technological interventions to upgrade the BGS for potential applications in agriculture fields. The major points are as follows: (1) Bio/nanotechnology-inspired approaches could serve as a constructive platform for integrating BGS with other organic materials to exploit microbial diversity dynamics through multi-substrate interactions. (2) Advancements in next-generation sequencing (NGS) pave an ideal pathway to study the complex microflora and translate the potential information into bioprospecting of BGS to ameliorate existing bio-fertilizer formulations. (3) Nanoparticles (NPs) have the potential to establish a link between syntrophic bacteria and methanogens through direct interspecies electron transfer and thereby contribute towards improved efficiency of AD. (4) Developments in techniques of nutrient recovery from the BGS facilities' negative GHGs emissions and energy-efficient models for nitrogen removal. (5) Possibilities of formulating low-cost substrates for mass-multiplication of beneficial microbes, bioprospecting of such microbes to produce bioactive compounds of anti-phytopathogenic activities, and developing BGS-inspired biofertilizer formulations integrating NPs, microbial inoculants, and deoiled seed cakes have been examined.

Abstract
To improve the efficiency of methane production from chicken manure (CM) anaerobic digestion, the mechanism of coal slime (CS) as an additive on methane production characteristics were investigated. The results showed that adding an appropriate amount of CS quickened the start of the fermentation and effectively increased the methane yield. In addition, the pH changed in a stable manner in the liquid phase, and the concentrations of total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and free ammonia nitrogen (FAN) were reduced. Moreover, organic matter was decomposed and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) were consumed effectively. The abundance of Bacteroides in the bacterial community and Methanosarcina in the archaea was increased. In addition, the reduction of CO2 was the main methanogenic pathway, and adding CS raised the abundance of genes for key enzymes in metabolic pathways during methane metabolism. The results provide a novel method for the efficient methane production from CM.

Abstract
This study explored and compared the influence of graphite, graphene, and graphene oxide (GO) on the performance of anaerobic co-digestion fed with sewage sludge and food waste, the variations of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and the evolution of microbial community. Graphene exhibited the best performance for improving methane production and organic degradation, which increased by 36.09% and 23.07% compared with control group. The experimental results showed that graphene had the greatest influence on the removal efficiency of blaOXA-1, macrolide resistance genes (ermF and ermB), and some tetracycline resistance genes (tetQ and tetX); however, the removal efficiency of sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1 and sul2), intI1, and some tetracycline resistance genes (tetM, tetO, and tetW) were highest when GO was added. Network analysis indicated that the host cells of mefA, ermB, and tetO were different from other ARG host cells; moreover, graphene controlled the horizontal transfer of ARGs between microbial communities.
