Yang Y, Cheng X, Rene ER, Qiu B, Hu Q. Effect of iron sources on methane production and phosphorous transformation in an anaerobic digestion system of waste activated sludge. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2024; 395:130315. [PMID: 38215887 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2024.130315] [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: 10/20/2023] [Revised: 12/30/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 01/14/2024]
Abstract
The iron materials are commonly employed to enhance resource recovery from waste activated sludge through anaerobic digestion (AD). The influence of different iron sources, such as Fe2O3, Fe3O4, and FeCl3 on methane production and phosphorus transformation in AD systems with thermal hydrolyzed sludge as the substrate was assessed in this study. The results indicated that iron oxides effectively promote methane yield and methane production rate in AD systems, resulting in a maximum increase in methane production by 1.6 times. Soluble FeCl3 facilitated the removal of 92.3% of phosphorus from the supernatant through the formation of recoverable precipitates in the sludge. The introduction of iron led to an increase in the abundance of bacteria responsible for hydrolysis and hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis. However, the enrichment of microbial communities varied depending on the specific irons used. This study provides support for AD systems that recover phosphorus and produce methane efficiently from waste sludge.

Abstract
Successful detection of the first SARS-CoV-2 cases using the real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) method reflects the power and usefulness of this technique. Real-time PCR is a variation of the PCR assay to allow monitoring of the PCR progress in actual time. PCR itself is a molecular process used to enzymatically synthesize copies in multiple amounts of a selected DNA region for various purposes. Real-time PCR is currently one of the most powerful molecular approaches and is widely used in biological sciences and medicine because it is quantitative, accurate, sensitive, and rapid. Current applications of real-time PCR include gene expression analysis, mutation detection, detection and quantification of pathogens, detection of genetically modified organisms, detection of allergens, monitoring of microbial degradation, species identification, and determination of parasite fitness. The technique has been used as a gold standard for COVID-19 diagnosis. Modifications of the standard real-time PCR methods have also been developed for particular applications. This review aims to provide an overview of the current applications of the real-time PCR technique, including its role in detecting emerging viruses such as SARS-CoV-2.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon removal from subsurface soil mediated by bacteria and archaea under methanogenic conditions: Performance and mechanisms. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 313:120023. [PMID: 36030953 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 07/21/2022] [Accepted: 08/18/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In situ anoxic bioremediation is an easy-to-use technology to remediate polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-contaminated soil. Degradation of PAHs mediated by soil bacteria and archaea using CO2 as the electron acceptor is an important process for eliminating PAHs under methanogenic conditions; however, knowledge of the performance and mechanisms involved is poorly unveiled. In this study, the effectiveness and efficiency of NaHCO3 (CO2) as an electron acceptor to stimulate the degradation of PAHs by bacteria and archaea in highly contaminated soil were investigated. The results showed that CO2 addition (EC2000) promoted PAH degradation compared to soil without added CO2 (EC0), with 4.18%, 9.01%-8.05%, and 6.19%-12.45% increases for 2-, 3- and 4-ring PAHs after 250 days of incubation, respectively. Soil bacterial abundances increased with increasing incubation time, especially for EC2000 (2.90 × 108 g-1 soil higher than EC0, p < 0.05). Different succession patterns of the soil bacterial and archaeal communities during PAH degradation were observed. According to the PCoA and ANOSIM results, the soil bacterial communities were greatly (ANOSIM: R = 0.7232, P = 0.001) impacted by electron acceptors, whereas significant differences in the archaeal communities were not observed (ANOSIM: R = 0.553, P = 0.001). Soil bacterial and archaeal co-occurrence network analyses showed that positive correlations outnumbered the negative correlations throughout the incubation period for both treatments (e.g., EC0 and EC2000), suggesting the prevalence of coexistence/cooperation within and between these two domains rather than competition. The higher complexity, connectance, edge, and node numbers in EC2000 revealed stronger linkage and a more stable co-occurrence network compared to EC0. The results of this study could improve the knowledge on the removal of PAHs and the responses of soil bacteria and archaea to CO2 application, as well as a scientific basis for the in situ anoxic bioremediation of PAH-contaminated industrial sites.
