Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) formation has been observed during composting of various fractions of organic waste. It was reported that this production can be biotic, associated with the activity of microorganisms. However, there are no sources considering the microbial communities producing CO production in compost. This preliminary research aimed to isolate and identify microorganisms potentially responsible for the CO production in compost collected from two areas of the biowaste pile: with low (118 ppm) and high CO concentration (785 ppm). Study proved that all isolates were bacterial strains with the majority of rod-shaped Gram-positive bacteria. Both places can be inhabited by the same bacterial strains, e.g. Bacillus licheniformis and Paenibacillus lactis. The most common were Bacillus (B. licheniformis, B. haynesii, B. paralicheniformis, and B. thermolactis). After incubation of isolates in sealed bioreactors for 4 days, the highest CO levels in the headspace were recorded for B. paralicheniformis (>1000 ppm), B. licheniformis (>800 ppm), and G. thermodenitrificans (∼600 ppm). High CO concentrations were accompanied by low O2 (<6%) and high CO2 levels (>8%). It is recommended to analyze the expression of the gene encoding CODH to confirm or exclude the ability of the identified strains to convert CO2 to CO.

Low-intensity alternating ventilation achieves effective humification during food waste composting by enhancing the intensity of microbial interaction and carbon metabolism. CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 357:142099. [PMID: 38653398 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142099] [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: 02/15/2024] [Revised: 04/10/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024]
Abstract
Vertical static composting is an efficient and convenient technology for the treatment of food waste. Exploring the impact of oxygen concentration levels on microbial community structure and functional stability is crucial for optimizing ventilation technology. This study set three experimental groups with varying ventilation intensities based on self-made alternating ventilation composting reactor (AL2: 0.2 L kg-1 DM·min-1; AL4: 0.4 L kg-1 DM·min-1; AL6: 0.6 L kg-1 DM·min-1) to explore the optimal alternating ventilation rate. The results showed that the cumulative ammonia emission of AL2 group reduced by 25.13% and 12.59% compared to the AL4 and AL6 groups. The humification degree of the product was 1.18 times and 1.25 times higher than the other two groups. AL2 increased the relative abundance of the core species Saccharomonospora, thereby strengthening microbial interaction. Low-intensity alternating ventilation increased the carbon metabolism levels, especially aerobic_chemoheterotrophy, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. However, it simultaneously reduced nitrogen metabolism. Structural equation model analysis demonstrated that alternating low-intensity ventilation effectively regulated both microbial diversity (0.81, p < 0.001) and metabolism (0.81, p < 0.001) by shaping the composting environment. This study optimized the intensity of alternating ventilation and revealed the regulatory mechanism of community structure and metabolism. This study provides guidance for achieving efficient and low-consumption composting.

[PMID: 38881654 PMCID: PMC11176434 DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2024.1405564] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/16/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Distilled grain waste (DGW) is rich in nutrients and can be a potential resource as animal feed. However, DGW contains as much as 14% lignin, dramatically reducing the feeding value. White-rot fungi such as Pleurotus ostreatus could preferentially degrade lignin with high efficiency. However, lignin derivatives generated during alcohol distillation inhibit P. ostreatus growth. Thus, finding a new strategy to adjust the DGW properties to facilitate P. ostreatus growth is critical for animal feed preparation and DGW recycling. In this study, three dominant indigenous bacteria, including Sphingobacterium thermophilum X1, Pseudoxanthomonas byssovorax X3, and Bacillus velezensis 15F were chosen to generate single and compound microbial inoculums for DGW composting to prepare substrates for P. ostreatus growth. Compared with non-inoculated control or single microbial inoculation, all composite inoculations, especially the three-microbial compound, led to faster organic metabolism, shorter composting process, and improved physicochemical properties of DGW. P. ostreatus growth assays showed the fastest mycelial colonization (20.43 μg·g-1 ergosterol) and extension (9 mm/d), the highest ligninolytic enzyme activities (Lac, 152.68 U·g-1; Lip, 15.56 U·g-1; MnP, 0.34 U·g-1; Xylanase, 10.98 U·g-1; FPase, 0.71 U·g-1), and the highest lignin degradation ratio (30.77%) in the DGW sample after 12 h of composting with the three-microbial compound inoculation when compared to other groups. This sample was relatively abundant in bacteria playing critical roles in amino acid, carbohydrate, energy metabolism, and xenobiotic biodegradation, as suggested by metagenomic analysis. The feed value analysis revealed that P. ostreatus mycelia full colonization in composted DGW led to high fiber content retention and decreased lignin content (final ratio of 5% lignin) but elevated protein concentrations (about 130 g·kg-1 DM). An additional daily weight gain of 0.4 kg/d was shown in cattle feeding experiments by replacing 60% of regular feed with it. These findings demonstrate that compound inoculant consisting of three indigenous microorganisms is efficient to compost DGW and facilitate P. ostreatus growth. P. ostreatus decreased the lignin content of composted DGW during its mycelial growth, improving the quality of DGW for feeding cattle.

Enhancing C and N turnover, functional bacteria abundance, and the efficiency of biowaste conversion using Streptomyces-Bacillus inoculation. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 358:120895. [PMID: 38626487 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120895] [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: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/10/2024] [Indexed: 04/18/2024]
Abstract
Microbial inoculation plays a significant role in promoting the efficiency of biowaste conversion. This study investigates the function of Streptomyces-Bacillus Inoculants (SBI) on carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) conversion, and microbial dynamics, during cow manure (10% and 20% addition) and corn straw co-composting. Compared to inoculant-free controls, inoculant application accelerated the compost's thermophilic stage (8 vs 15 days), and significantly increased compost total N contents (+47%) and N-reductase activities (nitrate reductase: +60%; nitrite reductase: +219%). Both bacterial and fungal community succession were significantly affected by DOC, urease, and NH4+-N, while the fungal community was also significantly affected by cellulase. The contribution rate of Cupriavidus to the physicochemical factors of compost was as high as 83.40%, but by contrast there were no significantly different contributions (∼60%) among the top 20 fungal genera. Application of SBI induced significant correlations between bacteria, compost C/N ratio, and catalase enzymes, indicative of compost maturation. We recommend SBI as a promising bio-composting additive to accelerate C and N turnover and high-quality biowaste maturation. SBI boosts organic cycling by transforming biowastes into bio-fertilizers efficiently. This highlights the potential for SBI application to improve plant growth and soil quality in multiple contexts.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 393:130097.

Abstract
A simplified inoculum agent, only comprising Bacillus subtilis and Aspergillus niger, was utilized for industrial-scale cow-manure composting to investigate its impact on composting performance and microbiome. Inoculants elevated the average and peak temperatures by up to 7 and 10 °C, respectively, during the thermophilic stage, reduced organic matter content, and raised germination index. Inoculation also extended the period of composting above 50 °C from 12 to 26 days. Sequencing unveiled significant shifts in microbial diversity, composition, and function. Aspergillus thrived during the mesophilic phase, potentially initiating composting, whereas Bacillus, Lysinibacillus, and Clostridium were enriched during the thermophilic stage. Metagenomic sequencing revealed an increased abundance of carbohydrate-active enzymes and glycometabolism-related genes responsible for lignocellulose degradation and heat generation after inoculation. These enriched microbes and functional genes contributed to organic matter degradation and temperature maintenance during thermophilic stage, expediting composting. This suggests the effectiveness of this simplified inoculum in industrial-level cow-manure composting.

Abstract
The incorporation of malonic acid (MA) into compost as a regulator of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle has the potential to increase carbon sequestration. However, the influence of MA on the transformation of the microbial community during the composting process remains unclear. In this investigation, MA was introduced at different stages of chicken manure (CM) composting to characterize the bacterial community within the compost using high-throughput sequencing. We assess the extent of increased carbon sequestration by comparing the concentration of total organic carbon (TOC). At the same time, this study examines whether increased carbon sequestration contributes to humus formation, which was elucidated by evaluating the content and composition of humus. Our results show that the addition of MA significantly improved carbon sequestration within the compost, reducing the carbon loss rate (C loss (%)) from 64.70% to 52.94%, while increasing HS content and stability. High throughput sequencing and Random Forest (RF) analysis show that the introduction of MA leads to a reduction in the diversity of the bacterial communities, but enhanced the ability of bacterial communities to synthesize humus. Furthermore, the addition of MA favors the proliferation of Firmicutes. Also, the hub of operational taxonomic units (OTUs) within the community co-occurrence network shifts from Proteobacteria to Firmicutes. Remarkably, our study finds a significant decrease in negative correlations between bacteria, potentially mitigating substrate consumption due to negative interactions such as competition. This phenomenon contributes to the improved retention of TOC in the compost. This research provides new insights into the mechanisms by which MA regulates bacterial communities in compost, and provides a valuable theoretical basis for the adoption of this innovative composting strategy.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 349:140797. [PMID: 38016526 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.140797] [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: 05/17/2023] [Revised: 11/17/2023] [Accepted: 11/22/2023] [Indexed: 11/30/2023]
Abstract
Arsenic (As) turnover in rice paddy agro-ecosystems has received much attention because As can enter the food chain through its accumulation in rice, thereby affecting human health. Returning straw to soil is a common practice to retain nutrients for soil and crops, but it also cycles As within the rice paddy field ecosystems. However, there is still a lack of detailed understanding of the fate of As in rice straw, and how or to what extent it is recycled back into the soil environment. This study aims to elucidate the relationship between the microstructure of rice straw and the release of As during rice straw decomposition. The microstructure of rice straw was found to comprise both organic and silica (phytolith) components. These two constituents are inter-embedded to form a composite-like structure that contains up to 6.48 mg As Kg-1. The 30-day batch experiments revealed that the biochemical release of As simultaneously depends upon the decomposition of the organic component and the desilicification of the silica component. Accompanying the release of As was the release of other elements such as Fe, Al, P and S. These elements can further interact with As to form less mobile compounds. The introduction of either Trichoderma harzianum or Bacillus velezensis was expected to accelerate the decomposition of rice straw, and enhance the silica dissolution, hence contributing to an increase in the As release. Despite these expectations, our observations showed the opposite effects. Microorganisms presumably have facilitated the change in solution chemistry or the inclusion of As into the newly-formed precipitates. The biochemical decomposition process can reduce straw particle size, while the negatively-charge surface will involve microsized straw particles in the electrostatic interaction, thereby favoring the dispersibility state. Therefore, the co-transport of micro-sized straw particles with As under field conditions should not be neglected.

Abstract
In recent years, short-term composting techniques have been widely applied in oyster mushroom cultivation, but there is still a lack of systematic research on their impact on the nutritional and functional properties of fruiting bodies. In this study, the microbial inoculant Streptomyces thermoviolaceus BUA-FM01 (ST) was applied in the short-term composting process for oyster mushroom cultivation. The agronomic traits, nutritional composition, flavor compounds, and antioxidant activity of fruiting bodies from the first three flushes were evaluated. The results show that microbial inoculation significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the total carbon content and C/N ratio of the composted substrates and, furthermore, increased the total yield of the fruiting bodies. Moreover, microbial inoculation significantly (p < 0.05) increased the crude protein, crude polysaccharide, total amino acid, and essential amino acid contents of the fruiting bodies. The fruiting bodies of the first flush of ST treatment possessed the highest umami amino acid content and equivalent umami concentration value. Furthermore, microbial inoculation significantly (p < 0.05) enhanced the scavenging ability of crude polysaccharides toward free radicals. The results indicate that microbial inoculation has many benefits for the composting cultivating process of oyster mushrooms and good application prospects.

[PMID: 38399664 PMCID: PMC10892523 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms12020260] [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: 12/20/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/23/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
The plum rain season is a special climatic phenomenon in east Asia, which is characterized by persistent rainfall, a high temperature, and humidity, providing suitable environmental conditions for certain pathogenic bacteria, thus increasing the incidence of respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urinary diseases. However, studies on human opportunistic pathogenic bacteria communities during the plum rain season are still limited. In this study, the characteristics of human opportunistic pathogenic bacterial communities on daily necessities during the non-plum and plum rain seasons were investigated using high-throughput sequencing technology. The results revealed that the relative abundance of human opportunistic pathogenic bacteria was higher in the plum rain season (cotton cloth: 2.469%, electric bicycles: 0.724%, rice: 3.737%, and washbasins: 5.005%) than in the non-plum rain season (cotton cloth: 1.425%, electric bicycles: 0.601%, rice: 2.426%, and washbasins: 4.801%). Both temperature and relative humidity affected human opportunistic pathogenic bacterial communities. Stochastic processes dominated the assembly process of human opportunistic pathogenic bacterial communities, and undominated processes prevailed. The stability of the co-occurrence network was higher in the non-plum rain season than that in the plum rain season. In addition, the proportion of deterministic processes showed the same trend as the complexity of the co-occurrence network.

Effect of Thermophilic Microbial Agents on Crude Fiber Content, Carbohydrate-Active Enzyme Genes, and Microbial Communities during Chinese Medicine Residue Composting. ACS OMEGA 2023; 8:39570-39582. [PMID: 37901486 PMCID: PMC10600912 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c05442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 10/31/2023]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact of thermophilic bacteria on crude fiber content, carbohydrate-active enzyme (CAZyme) genes, and associated microbial communities during Chinese medicine residues composting. The study examines changes over 15 days of composting with (T) and without (CK) thermophilic microbial agents. Results show that the group T compost temperature reached a maximum of 71.0 °C and remained above 70 °C for 2 days, while the group CK maximum temperature was only 60.9 °C. On Day 15, the seed germination index (GI) of group T reached 98.7%, while the group CK GI was only 56.7%. After composting, the degradation rates of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in group T increased by 5.1, 22.5, and 18.5%, respectively, compared to those in group CK. Thermophilic microbial agents changed the microbial communities related to CAZymes, increasing unclassified_o_Myxococcales and Sphaerobacter abundance and reducing Acinetobacter and Sphingobacterium abundance. Thermophilic microbial agents also increased the abundance of the GT4, GT2_Glycos_transf_2, and AA3 gene families. These results show that thermophilic microbial agents can increase composting temperature, accelerate compost maturation, and promote crude fiber degradation. Therefore, they have broad application potential.

Abstract
The sulfate reduction reaction releases malodorous gases (H2S) during composting, with potential pollution risks to the environment. In this study, chicken manure (CM) with high sulfur content and beef cattle manure (BM) with low sulfur content were used to investigate the effect of control (CK) and low moisture content (LW) on sulfur metabolism. The results showed that compared to CK composting, the cumulative H2S emission of CM and BM composting decreased by 27.27% and 21.08% under LW condition, respectively. Meanwhile, the abundance of core microorganisms related to sulfur components was reduced under LW condition. Furthermore, the KEGG sulfur pathway and network analysis suggested that LW composting weakened the sulfate reduction pathway, and reduced the number and abundance of functional microorganisms and genes. These results indicated that low moisture content had important effects on inhibiting the release of H2S during composting, which provided a scientific basis to control environmental pollution.

[PMID: 37392246 PMCID: PMC10386949 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-023-12644-8] [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: 10/12/2022] [Revised: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/15/2023] [Indexed: 07/03/2023]
Abstract
While the in situ return of corn straw can improve soil fertility and farmland ecology, additional bacterial agents are required in low-temperature areas of northern China to accelerate straw degradation. Moisture is an important factor affecting microbial activity; however, owing to a lack of bacterial agents adapted to low-temperature complex soil environments, the effects of soil moisture on the interaction between exogenous bacterial agents and indigenous soil microorganisms remain unclear. To this end, we explored the effect of the compound bacterial agent CFF constructed using Pseudomonas putida and Acinetobacter lwoffii, developed to degrade corn straw in low-temperature soils (15 °C), on indigenous bacterial and fungal communities under dry (10% moisture content), slightly wet (20%), and wet (30%) soil-moisture conditions. The results showed that CFF application significantly affected the α-diversity of bacterial communities and changed both bacterial and fungal community structures, enhancing the correlation between microbial communities and soil-moisture content. CFF application also changed the network structure and the species of key microbial taxa, promoting more linkages among microbial genera. Notably, with an increase in soil moisture, CFF enhanced the rate of corn straw degradation by inducing positive interactions between bacterial and fungal genera and enriching straw degradation-related microbial taxa. Overall, our study demonstrates the alteration of indigenous microbial communities using bacterial agents (CFF) to overcome the limitations of indigenous microorganisms for in situ straw-return agriculture in low-temperature areas. KEY POINTS: • Low-temperature and variable moisture conditions (10-30%) were compared • Soil microbial network structure and linkages between genera were altered • CFF improves straw degradation via positive interactions between soil microbes.

Abstract
Applying beneficial bacteria in rice rhizosphere to manage heavy metal behaviour in soil-plant system is a promising strategy. However, colonization/domination of exogenous bacteria in rhizosphere soils remains a challenge. In this study, a bacterium Ochrobactrum anthropi, which showed the potential of transforming soluble SbIII into Sb2O3 mineral, was repeatedly inoculated into the rice rhizosphere weekly throughout the rice growth period, and the colonization of this bacterium in rice rhizosphere soils and its effect on Sb accumulation in rice plants were investigated. Results showed that repeated inoculants changed the native bacterial community in rhizosphere soils in comparison with the control, but the inoculated O. anthropi was not identified as an abundant species. With weekly inoculation, the decrease in Sb in rice roots and straws was maintained throughout the rice growth period, with decrease percentages ranging from 36 to 49% and 33-35%. In addition, decrease percentages of Sb in husks and grains at the maturing stage obtained 34 and 37%, respectively. Furthermore, the XRD identified the formation of valentinite (Sb2O3) on rice root in inoculation treatment, and the decrease percentages in aqueous SbIII in rhizosphere were 53-100% through the growth period. It demonstrated that weekly inoculants performed their temporary activity of valentinite formation, and reduced Sb accumulation in rice plants efficiently. This study suggests that regardless of successful colonization, repeated inoculation of beneficial bacteria is an option to facilitate the positive effects of inoculated bacteria in the management of heavy metal behaviour.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the effect of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus inoculation in the cooling stage on hydroxyapatite dissolution, phosphorus (P) forms transformation, and bacterial P cycling genes in food waste composting with hydroxyapatite. Results indicated that PSB inoculation promoted the dissolution of hydroxyapatite, increased P availability of compost by 8.1% and decreased the ratio of organic P to inorganic P by 10.2% based on sequential fractionation and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Illumina sequencing indicated Bacillus relative abundance after inoculation increased up to one time higher than control after the cooling stage. Network analysis and metabolic function of bacterial community analysis suggested inorganic P solubilizing genes of Bacillus and organic P mineralization genes of other genera were improved after inoculation in the core module. Therefore, bioaugmentation of PSB in the cooling stage may be a potential way to improve P bioavailability of bone and food waste in composting.

Abstract
Bioplastics replace synthetic plastics of petrochemical origin, which contributes challenge to both polymer quality and economics. Novel polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-composite materials, with desirable product quality, could be developed, thus targeting the global plastics market, in the coming years. It is possible that PHA can be a greener substitute for their petroleum-based competitors since they are simply decomposed, which may lessen the pressure on municipal and industrial waste management systems. PHA production has proven to be the bottleneck in industrial application and commercialization because of the high price of carbon substrates and downstream processes required to achieve reliability. Bacterial PHA production by these municipal and industrial wastes, which act as a cheap, renewable carbon substrate, eliminates waste management hassles and acts as an efficient substitute for synthetic plastics. In the present review, challenges and opportunities related to the commercialization of polyhydroxyalkanoates are discussed and presented. Moreover, it discusses critical steps of their production process, feedstock evaluation, optimization strategies, and downstream processes. This information may provide us the complete utilization of bacterial PHA during possible applications in packaging, nutrition, medicine, and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Straw composting is not only a process of decomposition and re-synthesis of organic matter, but also a process of harmless treatment, avoiding air pollution caused by straw burning. Many factors, including raw materials, humidity, C/N, and microbial structure, may determine the composting process and the quality of final product. In recent years, many researches have focused on composting quality improvement by adding one or more exogenous substances, including inorganic additives, organic additives, and microbial agents. Although a few review publications have compiled the research on the use of additives in composting, none of them has specifically addressed the composting of crop straw. Additives used in straw composting can increase degradation of recalcitrant substances and provide ideal living surroundings for microorganism, and thus reduce nitrogen loss and promote humus formation, etc. This review's objective is to critically evaluate the impact of various additives on straw composting process, and analyze how these additives enhance final quality of composting. Furthermore, a vision for future perspectives is provided. This paper can serve as a reference for straw composting process optimization and composting end-product improvement.

Abstract
Composting is a sustainable strategy to deal with organic waste. Our research aimed to study the influence of an amendment of 10% matured compost (MC) during Chinese herb residue (CHR) compost. Here, a 60-day CHR compost was performed, and MC application was able to reduce the nitrogen loss and enhance the humic acid accumulation during the composting as compared with the non-inoculated control (NC), by 25 and 19%, respectively. Furthermore, the matured compost amendment improved the diversity of the bacterial community, increased the complexity of the co-occurrence network, and changed the keystone and module hub bacteria during composting. The increased abundance levels of Thermopolyspora, Thermobispora, and Thermosporomyces, which were significantly higher in MC than in NC, may contribute to the degradation of cellulose and the formation of humic acid. Overall, this study extends our understanding of the effects of matured compost reflux on compost quality and the bacterial community.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of corn straw biochar (CSB) and effective microorganisms (EM) added individually or combinedly on lignocellulose degradation, compost humification, and microbial communities during sewage sludge-reed straw composting process. All the additive practices were found to significantly elevate the humification degree of compost products. The degradation rates of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in different additive treatments were 20.8-31.2 %, 36.2-44.8 %, and 19.9-25.7 %, respectively, which were greatly higher than those of the control. Compared with the single uses of CSB or EM, the combined use of CSB and EM generated greater promotions in lignin and hemicellulose degradations and increase in humic acid content. By comparing the differences in microbial communities among different treatments, the CSB-EM demonstrated greater increases in activity and diversity of lignocellulose degradation-related microbes, especially for fungus. Lastly, the combined use of CSB and EM was highly recommended as a high-efficient improvement strategy for organic compost production.

Liao Y, Wan Z, Cao X, Jiang L, Feng L, Zheng H, Ji F. The importance of rest phase and pollutant removal mechanism of tidal flow constructed wetlands (TFCW) in rural grey water treatment. CHEMOSPHERE 2023; 311:137010. [PMID: 36326517 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.137010] [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: 08/24/2022] [Revised: 09/29/2022] [Accepted: 10/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
This paper explored the effects of the rest phase of tidal flow constructed wetlands (TFCW) on pollutant removal and microbial communities, and further analyzed the mechanism of TFCW removal of pollutants from grey water. The results showed that the removal rate of organic matter was 69.91 ± 2.44% in the control group (NR-TFCW) without the rest phase, 94.95 ± 1.17% in the experimental group (TFCW), and 96.95 ± 2.43% in the control group (P-TFCW) with the ventilation pipe enhanced rest phase. Limiting and enhancing the oxygen supply in the emptying stage of TFCW will enhance the overlap rate of microorganisms in the upper, middle and lower layers of the reactor. Enhancing the rest phase of TFCW leaded to better aerobic removal of organic matter in the microbial community, while limiting the rest phase of TFCW results in the opposite. In addition, the species overlap rate of the top, middle and bottom layers of NR-TFCW (69.98%) and P-TFCW (54.29%) was higher than that of TFCW (11.34%). The removal of organic matter by TFCW mainly relied on the adsorption of biochar in the flood phase, and the microorganisms aerobic degraded the organic matter adsorbed on the biochar in the rest phase. And thus form a continuous cycle of adsorption and biological regeneration. The microbial community in TFCW did not have the ability to nitrify, but had the ability to remove phosphorus. Ammonia nitrogen in the influent was adsorbed by biochar or converted into cytoplasm. While the phosphorus in the influent was adsorbed by the biochar, it was also being biologically removed.

Abstract
Polylactic acid (PLA) is commercialized as a compostable bio-thermoplastic. PLA degrades under industrial composting conditions where elevated temperatures are maintained for a long timeframe. However, these conditions cannot be achieved in a non-industrial compost pile. Therefore, this study aims to degrade high molecular weight PLA films by adding a PLA-degrading bacterial consortium (EAc) comprised of Nocardioides zeae EA12, Stenotrophomonas pavanii EA33, Gordonia desulfuricans EA63, and Chitinophaga jiangningensis EA02 during traditional composting. With EAc-bioaugmentation, PLA films (5-30% w/w) had complete disintegration (35 d), 77-82% molecular weight reduction (16 d), and higher CO2 liberation and mineralization than non-bioaugmented composting. Bacterial community analyses showed that EAc-bioaugmentation increased the relative abundance of Schlegelella, a known polymer degrader, and interacted positively with beneficial indigenous microbes like Bacillus, Schlegelella and Thermopolyspora. The bioaugmentation also decreased compost phytotoxicity. Hence, consortium EAc shows potential in PLA-waste treatment applications, such as backyard and small-scale composting.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle regulators on CO2 emissions, the conversion of organic components and humus formation during composting. The addition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) reduced CO2 emissions during rice straw composting. According to co-occurrence networks results, ATP enhanced the connectivity and complexity of the network; NADH enhanced microbial interactions. The different kind of TCA cycle regulators had different effect on humus formation pathway. The structural equation model showed that ATP might promote lignin transformation into humus via the sugar-amine condensation pathway and lignin-protein pathway while NADH may promote cellulose degradation into soluble sugar and organic matter, which are transformed into humus. This work will provide valuable guidance for exploring the mechanism of TCA cycle regulators in promoting organic carbon fixation and reducing inorganic carbon mineralization.

Abstract
Lignocellulose utilization has been gaining great attention worldwide due to its abundance, accessibility, renewability and recyclability. Destruction and dissociation of the cross-linked, hierarchical structure within cellulose hemicellulose and lignin is the key procedure during chemical utilization of lignocellulose. Of the pretreatments, biological treatment, which can effectively target the complex structures, is attractive due to its mild reaction conditions and environmentally friendly characteristics. Herein, we report a comprehensive review of the current biological pretreatments for lignocellulose dissociation and their corresponding degradation mechanisms. Firstly, we analyze the layered, hierarchical structure of cell wall, and the cross-linked network between cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, then highlight that the cracking of β-aryl ether is considered the key to lignin degradation because of its dominant position. Secondly, we explore the effect of biological pretreatments, such as fungi, bacteria, microbial consortium, and enzymes, on substrate structure and degradation efficiency. Additionally, combining biological pretreatment with other methods (chemical methods and catalytic materials) may reduce the time necessary for the whole process, which also help to strengthen the lignocellulose dissociation efficiency. Thirdly, we summarize the related applications of lignocellulose, such as fuel production, chemicals platform, and bio-pulping, which could effectively alleviate the energy pressure through bioconversion into high value-added products. Based on reviewing of current progress of lignocellulose pretreatment, the challenges and future prospects are emphasized. Genetic engineering and other technologies to modify strains or enzymes for improved biotransformation efficiency will be the focus of future research.

Abstract
Two composting experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of commercial microbial agents on microbial succession and nutrient flow such as humification, maturation, and stability during the aerobic composting of the spent mushroom substrate (SMS). The cellulose degradation rate of T (added microbial agents at the initial stage) reached 41.8%, which was much significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of CK (14.9%). The seed germination index (GI) in T (82.38%) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that in CK (74.74%) in the maturation phase. Moreover, the total organic carbon/total nitrogen ratio (C/N) and electrical conductivity (EC) value of T decreased to 10.5 and 2.37 mS/cm, respectively. Chemical detection and fluorescence excitation-emission region integration method (EEM-FRI) analysis showed that the microbial agents significantly accelerated the organic matter (OM) decomposition and promoted the quality of mature compost using SMS as a single raw material. The bacterial abundance of T was significantly richer than the CK due to the addition of microbial agents. The results could provide a comprehensive understanding of adding microbial agents into composting SMS and a scientific feasibility strategy to rational utilization of resources in the edible fungi industry, which was conducive to the waste management and sustainable development of the edible fungi industry.

Abstract
Global mushroom production is growing rapidly, raising concerns about polluting effects of spent mushroom substrate (SMS) and interest in uses in composts. In this study, SMS composting trials and high-throughput sequencing were carried out to investigate to better understand how the structure, co-occurrence patterns, and functioning of bacterial and fungal communities vary through compost time and across environmental conditions. The results suggested that both bacterial and fungal microbiota displayed significant variation in community composition across different composting stages. Enzyme activity levels showed both directional and fluctuating changes during composting, and the activity dynamics of carboxymethyl cellulase, polyphenol oxidase, laccase, and catalase correlated significantly with the succession of microbial community composition. The co-occurrence networks are "small-world" and modularized and the topological properties of each subnetwork were significantly influenced by the environmental factors. Finally, seed germination and seedling experiments were performed to verify the biosafety and effectiveness of the final composting products.

Abstract
Effect of diverse Lactobacillus amylophilus, Geobacillus thermoleovorans, and Bacillus subtilis inoculation patterns on the co-composting performance of food waste and biogas residue was explored. Experimental results revealed that, compared to the single-stage inoculation and non-inoculation groups, the multistage inoculation pattern prolonged the thermophilic period during composting, consequently improving organic matter decomposition and humification [with a high germination index (120.9%)]. In addition, it could promote the development of humic substances [with a high humus index (4.3) and biological index (1.4)] and lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and ammonia (NH3). Additionally, it could improve the microbial variety and the amounts of functional bacteria (i.e., Chloroflexi) in compost, which might be advantageous for the decomposition of refractory organic materials and plant growth. Therefore, the multistage inoculation pattern is recommended for organic waste composting in terms of its gas emissions, compost quality and efficacy benefits.

Abstract
This study aimed to reveal the potential mechanism of influence exogenous cellulose-degrading bacteria (ECDB) exerted on humus synthesis during the co-composting of corn straw and cattle manure. By measuring the changes in physicochemical factors and bacterial communities, it was revealed that inoculation with ECDB enhanced the driving force of cellulose degradation and humus synthesis. ECDB not only directly participated in cellulose degradation as degrading bacteria, but also changed the bacterial community succession, and increased the abundance of bacterial communities associated with cellulose degradation. The results showed that ECDB stimulated the potential functions and interactions of bacterial communities. Structural equation modeling confirmed that ECDB acted mainly as a bioactivator to promote humus formation in co-composting of corn straw and cattle manure. Taken together, these findings offered new strategies which can be effectively utilized to increase the efficiency and quality of corn straw composting.

Abstract
Composting is an effective way to prevent and control the spread of pathogenic microorganisms which could put potential risk to humans and environment, from rural solid waste, especially sewage sludge and food waste. In the study, we aim to analyze the changes of pathogenic bacteria during the co-composting of rural sewage sludge and food waste. The results showed that only 27 pathogenic bacteria were detected after composting, compared to 50 pathogenic bacteria in the raw mixed pile. About 74% of pathogen concentrations dropped below 1000 copies/g after composting. Lactobacillus, Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Comamonas were the core pathogenic bacteria in the compost, of which concentrations were all significantly lower than that in the raw mixed pile at the end of composting. The concentration of Lactobacillus decreased to 3.03 × 103 copies/g compared to 0 d with 1.25 × 109 copies/g by the end of the composting, while that of Bacillus, Paenibacillus and Comamonas decreased to 2.77 × 104 copies/g, 2.13 × 104 copies/g and 3.38 × 102 copies/g, respectively, with 1.26 × 107 copies/g, 4.71 × 106 copies/g, 1.69 × 108 copies/g on 0 d. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that physicochemical factors and substances could affect the changes of pathogenic bacteria during composting, while temperature was the key influencing factor. In addition, certain potential pathogenic bacteria, such as Bacteroides-Bifidobacterium, show statistically strong and significant co-occurrence during composting, which may increase the risk of multiple infections and also influence their distribution. These findings provide a theoretical reference for biosafety prevention and control in the treatment and disposal of rural solid waste.

Xu M, Sun H, Yang M, Xie D, Sun X, Meng J, Wang Q, Wu C. Biodrying of biogas residue through a thermophilic bacterial agent inoculation: Insights into dewatering contribution and microbial mechanism. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 355:127256. [PMID: 35550925 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127256] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2022] [Revised: 04/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/30/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Biogas residue (BR) is difficult to transport and compost due to its high moisture content. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the dewatering and microbial mechanisms underlying the inoculation of a thermophilic bacterial agent (TBA) onto BR with a high moisture content (i.e., 90.4%). TBA accounted for 78.7% of the water loss rate in BR, dramatically higher than the effects of aeration, external heat, or indigenous microorganisms (i.e., 1.8%, 0.1%, and 19.4%, respectively). Furthermore, TBA inoculation resulted in a stable product [with a low moisture content (9.4%) and a high seed germination index (107.3%)]. Finally, TBA increased microbial diversity and the abundance of functional bacteria (Proteobacteria and Bacteroidota), which might be beneficial for refractory organic compound decomposition and plant growth. Thus, biodrying BR via inoculation with a TBA is recommended economically.

Abstract
Until recently, a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental drivers on the abundance and structure of the microbial community in typical forest soils has not been thoroughly conducted. In this study, the typical forest soils (Mongolian oak (Quercus mongolica) soil, MOS; white birch (Betula platyphylla) soil, WBS; and white poplar (Populus davidiana) soil, WPS) in the Sanjiang Plain were selected to ascertain the differences and the major environmental factors driving soil microbial community abundance and structure. Results indicated that differences existed in the abundance and structure of the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal community. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that the bacterial and fungal networks were more complex than those of archaeal networks. Unclassified Acidobacteria and unclassified Pyrinomonadaceae were the keystone taxa in the bacterial networks, while Pleotrichocladium and Leotia were the keystone taxa in the fungal networks. Among all environmental factors, pH, SOM, and total N exhibited dominant roles in affecting the abundance of bacteria, archaea, and fungi. The redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that pH was the vital environmental factor responsible for driving the structure of the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal community.

Abstract
The present study investigated the effects of separately or simultaneously inoculating thermophilic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus Z5 and bacterium Geobacillus stearothermophilus B5 on lignocellulose degradation, enzyme activities and humification during rice straw composting. The results indicated that inoculation of Z5 accelerated the rise of temperature in the mesophilic phase, and the degradation degree of cellulose and hemicellulose was increased by 25.3% and 20.7%, respectively, due to the higher activities of lignocellulolytic enzymes. Inoculation of B5 increased 5-7 °C of the compost temperature in the thermophilic phase, and also prolonged the duration from 33 to 41 days. Inoculated simultaneously, the secreted hydrolases of Z5 generated more nutrition and promoted the growth of B5. B5 maintained and increased the compost temperature, thus presenting a better hydrolysis environment for extracellular hydrolases. Thermophilic inoculation altered the main physicochemical factors and improved efficiency and maturity in rice straw composting.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a vital role in the biogeochemistry of aquatic ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of DOM cycling in the water column during different seasons have not been fully elucidated to date. The differences in DOM degradation in summer, autumn, and winter water columns were evaluated in this study. The results showed that bacteria played an essential role in the degradation of DOM in the summer water column. Photochemical degradation was the primary degradation pathway of DOM in the autumn and winter water columns. Notably, while DOM is degraded, photosynthetic bacteria produce organic matter through photosynthesis to replenish the water column. EEM-PARAFAC analysis indicated more tryptophan component C1 in summer, but the contents of humic substance component C2 and terrestrial substance C3 were higher in autumn and winter. In summer, more tryptophan-like components were consumed by bacteria, and Cyanobacteria produced more organic matter through photosynthesis to replenish the water column. Moreover, a similar bacterial community structure and a more active tryptophan biosynthesis pathway were found in autumn and winter. Random forest models identified representative bacteria involved in the DOM transformation process in different seasons. The above findings may be helpful to explore the degradation characteristics of DOM in different seasons and predict the fate of DOM in the water column in the future.

Abstract
The succession of bacterial communities and their function, and the core microorganisms for water soluble organic carbon (WSC) and organic matter (OM) changes during agricultural waste composting with addition of iron oxide nanomaterials (FeONPs, Fe2O3 NPs and Fe3O4 NPs) were investigated. Moreover, driving factors for bacterial composition and metabolism were analyzed. Results showed that FeONPs treatments increased the relative abundance of thermophilic microorganisms for OM degradation. Most of the core genera were responsible for decomposition of OM and synthesis of WSC. Additionally, FeONPs promoted the metabolism of amino acids. The most significant factors for dominant genera in control, Fe2O3 NPs and Fe3O4 NPs group were moisture (62.1%), moisture (62.0%) and OM (58.2%), respectively. For metabolism, the most significant factors in control, Fe2O3 NPs and Fe3O4 NPs group were temperature (57.2%), NO3--N (60.5%), NO3--N (62.6%), respectively. The relationships between compost properties, bacterial community and metabolism were changed by FeONPs.

Abstract
The effect of aeration rates on maturity, leachate and bacterial community succession during a pilot-scale food waste composting were evaluated. Out of the four aeration rates (0.44, 3.25, 6.50 and 11.65 L kg-1 DM initial min-1 for T1, T2, T3 and T4, respectively) that were conducted, results found T2 to be the recommended ventilation rate considering the quality of compost and the leachate utilization. Higher ventilation increased germination index of diluted leachate. The abundance of Proteobacteria in mesophilic stage (35.5%) and Actinobacteria in cooling stage (30.6%) in T4 were higher than in other groups (7.9%-17.5%), suggesting the formation of a select community categorized by the capacity of degrading the organic matter and promoting maturity. The key bacteria of aeration-shaped bacterial communities such as Sporosarcina, Pseudomonas and Thermobifida were identified and they could be manipulated by increasing NH4+, NO3- contents and pH in the initial stage of composting.

Abstract
Bacillus presents in most composts as core microbial taxa and is widely used as inoculant in composting. However, the role of Bacillus as phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) inoculant in composting and the response of indigenous bacterial community are unclear. This study used redundancy analysis (RDA), network analysis and structural equation model (SEM) to investigate the dynamics of phosphorus (P) fractions, bacterial community, and microbial interaction in composting with PSB (Bacillus sp. P6) inoculation. Results indicated that Bacillus inoculation increased Olsen P content, organic matter degradation, and bacterial diversity, benefiting P fractions mobilization during composting. RDA showed that pH was the main factor influencing P fractions transformation and bacterial taxa. Network analysis and SEM revealed that Bacillus indirectly improved the contribution of bacterial community on P mobilization by enhancing microbial interactions. Therefore, Bacillus with P solubilizing function may be a potential inoculant to regulate the biotic process of P transformation.

Abstract
Rice straw is an important low-cost feedstock for bio-based economy. This report presents a study in which rice straw was used both as a source for isolation of bacteria producing the biodegradable polyester polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), as well as the carbon source for the production of the polymer by the isolated bacteria. Of the 100 bacterial isolates, seven were found to be positive for PHA production by Nile blue staining and were identified as Bacillus species by 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. Three isolates showed 100% sequence identity to B. cereus, one to B. paranthracis, two with 99 and 100% identity to B. anthracis, while one was closely similar to B. thuringiensis. For use in PHA production, rice straw was subjected to mild alkaline pretreatment followed by enzymatic hydrolysis. Comparison of pretreatment by 2% sodium hydroxide, 2% calcium hydroxide and 20% aqueous ammonia, respectively, at different temperatures showed maximum weight loss with NaOH at 80 °C for 5 h, but ammonia for 15 h at 80 °C led to highest lignin removal of 63%. The ammonia-pretreated rice straw also led to highest release of total reducing sugar up to 92% on hydrolysis by a cocktail of cellulases and hemicellulases at 50 °C. Cultivation of the Bacillus isolates on the pretreated rice straw revealed highest PHA content of 59.3 and 46.4%, and PHA concentration of 2.96 and 2.51 g/L by Bacillus cereus VK92 and VK98, respectively.
