Zhu X, Beiyuan J, Ju W, Qiu T, Cui Q, Chen L, Chao H, Shen Y, Fang L. Inoculation with Bacillus thuringiensis reduces uptake and translocation of Pb/Cd in soil-wheat system: A life cycle study. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 945:174032. [PMID: 38885714 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.174032] [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: 03/27/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024]
Abstract
Microbial inoculation is an important strategy to reduce the supply of heavy metals (HMs) in soil-crop systems. However, the mechanisms of microbial inoculation for the availability of HMs in soil and their accumulation/transfer in crops remain unclear. Here, the inhibitory effect of inoculation with Bacillus thuringiensis on the migration and accumulation of Pb/Cd in the soil-wheat system during the whole growth period was investigated by pot experiments. The results showed that inoculation with Bacillus thuringiensis increased soil pH and available nutrients (including carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus), and enhanced the activities of nutrient-acquiring enzymes. Dominance analysis showed that dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the key factor affecting the availability of HMs. The content of colored spectral clusters and humification characteristics of DOM were significantly improved by inoculation, which is conducive to reducing the availability of Pb/Cd, especially during the flowering stage, the decrease was 12.8 %. Inoculation decreased Pb/Cd accumulation in the shoot and the transfer from root to shoot, with the greatest decreases at the jointing and seedling stages (27.0-34.1 % and 6.9-11.8 %), respectively. At the maturity stage, inoculation reduced the Pb/Cd accumulation in grain (12.9-14.7 %) and human health risk (4.1-13.2 %). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that the availability of Pb/Cd was positively correlated with the humification of DOM. Least square path model analysis showed that Bacillus thuringiensis could significantly reduce Pb/Cd accumulation in the grain and human health risks by regulating DOM spectral characteristics, the availability of HMs in soil and metals accumulation/transport in wheat at different growth stages. This study revealed the inhibition mechanism of Bacillus thuringiensis on migration of Pb/Cd in a soil-wheat system from a viewpoint of a full life cycle, which offers a valuable reference for the in-situ remediation of HM-contaminated soil and the safe production of food crops in field.

Effect of aqueous phase from hydrothermal carbonization of sewage sludge on heavy metals and heavy metal resistance genes during chicken manure composting. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 471:134398. [PMID: 38677124 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134398] [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: 12/14/2023] [Revised: 04/15/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024]
Abstract
Livestock manure is often contaminated with heavy metals (HMs) and HM resistance genes (HMRGs), which pollute the environment. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of the aqueous phase (AP) produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) of sewage sludge (SS) alone and the AP produced by co-HTC of rice husk (RH) and SS (RH-SS) on humification, HM bioavailability, and HMRGs during chicken manure composting. RH-SS and SS increased the humic acid content of the compost products by 18.3 % and 9.7 %, respectively, and significantly increased the humification index (P < 0.05) compared to the CK (addition of tap water). The passivation of HMs (Zn, Cu, As, Pb, and Cr) increased by 12.17-23.36 % and 9.74-15.95 % for RH-SS and SS, respectively, compared with that for CK. RH-SS and SS reduced the HMRG abundance in composted products by 22.29 % and 15.07 %, respectively. The partial least squares path modeling results showed that SS and RH-SS promoted compost humification while simultaneously altering the bacterial community and reducing the bioavailability of metals and host abundance of HMRGs, which has a direct inhibitory effect on the production and distribution of HMRGs. These findings support a new strategy to reduce the environmental risk of HMs and HMRGs in livestock manure utilization.

Whole-cell bioreporter application for rapid evaluation of hazardous metal bioavailability and toxicity in bioprocess. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2024; 461:132556.

Abstract
Assessing heavy metal bioavailability and toxicity during bioprocess is critical for advancing green biotechnology. The capability of whole-cell bioreporters to measure heavy metal bioavailability has been increasingly recognized. The advantages of this technology being applied to bioprocess monitoring are less studied. Here we investigate the potential of a cadmium- and lead-sensitive bioreporter to be used for heavy metals as a class, which holds great interest for bioprocess applications. We evaluated the bioavailability of eight individual heavy metals with bioreporter zntA, as well as the bioavailability and toxicity of mixed metals. The bioavailability and toxicity of heavy metals in bioprocess samples were also evaluated. We have demonstrated for the first time that the zntA bioreporter can effectively detect the bioavailability of zinc, nickel, and cobalt with limit of detection lower than 0.01, 0.08 and 0.5 mg·L-1, respectively. The detection limits meet the requirements of the WHO, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the China drinking water quality standards, which makes this approach reasonable for monitoring heavy metal bioavailability in bioprocess. LIVE/DEAD toxicity experiments have been conducted for the detection of mixed metal solution toxicity to zntA bioreporter which shows an EC50 (as EC50, concentration for 50% of maximal effect) value of mixed metal solution is 3.84 mg·L-1. Samples from wastewater treatment plants, sludge treatment plants and kitchen waste fermentation processes were analyzed to extend upon the laboratory results. The results of this study confirm the potential for practical applications of bioreporter technology in bioprocess monitoring. In turn, development for such practical applications is key to achieve the necessary level of commercialization to further make the routine use of bioreporters in bioprocess monitoring feasible.

Abstract
With the increasing global concern about food waste management, finding efficient ways to convert it into valuable products is crucial. The addition of zero-valent iron and magnetite to enhance ethanol and lactic acid fermentation yields from food waste emerges as a potential solution. This study compared the effects of 50-nm and 500-nm particle sizes of zero-valent iron and magnetite on ethanol and lactic acid fermentation and analyzed the mechanism of action from the perspective of organic matter material transformation and microbiology. The experimental results showed that 500-nm particle size magnetite and zero-valent iron could promote the hydrolysis of polysaccharides and proteins. 500-nm particle size magnetite could increase ethanol production (1.4-fold of the control), while 500-nm particle size zero-valent iron could increase lactic acid production (2.8-fold of the control). Metagenomic analysis showed that 500-nm magnetite increased the abundance of genes for amino acid metabolic functions, while 500-nm zero-valent iron increased the abundance of glycoside hydrolase genes (1.3-fold of the control). It's worth noting that while these findings are promising, they are based on controlled experimental conditions, and real-world applications may vary. his research not only offers a novel approach to augmenting anaerobic fermentation yields but also contributes to sustainable food waste management practices, potentially reducing environmental impacts and creating valuable products.

Abstract
Low composting temperature and long maturation periods are two major problems during food waste composting. In this study, a novel array-based electric field-assisted aerobic composting (Pin-EAC) process was tested on food waste compost. Pin-EAC increase the composting temperature to 69.3 °C, and improved the germination index by 15%. The Pin-EAC took at least 40% less time to reach the standard compost maturity. The fluorescent spectroscopy results showed that Pin-EAC could increase humic acid and fulvic acid by 33% and 37%, respectively. Pin-EAC could increase the diversity of thermophilic bacteria during composting. The co-occurrence network shown that Pin-EAC are more closely related to oxygen and temperature. This work has initially shown that the use of an electric field could improve food waste composting quality, suggesting that the Pin-EAC process is an effective strategy for high-water and high-oil organic solid waste aerobic composting.

Abstract
Organic amendments in aided phytostabilization of waste slag containing high levels of heavy metal (loid)s (HMs) are an important way to control the release of HMs in situ. However, the effects of dissolved organic matter (DOM) derived from organic amendments on HMs and microbial community dynamics in waste slag are still unclear. Here, the effect of DOM derived from organic amendments (cow manure) on the geochemical behaviour of HMs and the bacterial community dynamics in mercury (Hg)-thallium (Tl) mining waste slag were investigated. The results showed that the Hg-Tl mining waste slag without the addition of DOM continuously decreased the pH and increased the EC, Eh, SO42-, Hg, and Tl levels in the leachate with increasing incubation time. The addition of DOM significantly increased the pH, EC, SO42-, and arsenic (As) levels but decreased the Eh, Hg, and Tl levels. The addition of DOM significantly increased the diversity and richness of the bacterial community. The dominant bacterial phyla (Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Acidobacteriota, Actinobacteriota, and Bacteroidota) and genera (Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Delftia, Sphingomonas, and Enterobacter) were changed in association with increases in DOM content and incubation time. The DOM components in the leachate were humic-like substances (C1 and C2), and the DOC content and maximum fluorescence intensity (FMax) values of C1 and C2 in the leachate decreased and first increased and then decreased with increasing incubation time. The correlations between HMs and DOM and the bacterial community showed that the geochemical behaviours of HMs in Hg-Tl mining waste slag were directly influenced by DOM-mediated properties and indirectly influenced by DOM regulation of bacterial community changes. Overall, these results indicated that DOM properties associated with bacterial community changes increased As mobilization but decreased Hg and Tl mobilization from Hg-Tl mining waste slag.

Abstract
The production of organic fertilizer by aerobic composting of cattle manure is an important way of its resource utilization. This study evaluated the effects of adding mature compost on the decomposition and microbial communities in the aerobic composting of cattle manure. The addition of mature compost shortens the composting cycle and results in a final lignocellulosic degradation rate of 35%. Metagenomic analysis showed that this was due to the proliferation of thermophilic and organic matter-degrading functional microorganisms, which enhanced the activity of carbohydrate-active enzymes. With the addition of mature compost, the microbial community exhibited stronger metabolic functions, especially carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, which are the driving forces of organic matter degradation. This study deepens the understanding of organic matter conversion and microbial community metabolic functions when mature compost is used for livestock manure composting and provides a promising technology for livestock manure composting.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of hydrochar addition on nitrogen (N) transformation, N functional genes, and humification during chicken manure composting. The addition of 10 % hydrochar reduced cumulative ammonia (NH3) and nitrous oxide emissions by 55.24 % and 45.30 %, respectively, and N losses by 32.07 %. Further, it increased the relative abundance of amoA while decreasing that of nirK, nirS, and nosZ in compost. Hydrochar reduces NH3 emissions during composting owing to its acid-carbon properties that lower the pH of the composting pile and promote ammonia oxidation. Moreover, hydrochar addition enhances the humification of the composting pile and significantly increases the content of humic substances. Moreover, after hydrochar addition, the germination index of the compost product reached >80 % 10 days earlier. The results demonstrate that hydrochar is a suitable composting additive for reducing N loss and shortening the composting time.

Abstract
Biomass rapid pyrolysis technology is easy to implement in continuous production and industrial application, and has become one of the leading technologies in the field of world renewable energy development. Agricultural and forestry waste is an important resource of renewable energy in China. In general, abandoned leaves in forest areas cause serious waste of resources. Its utilization may help to settle the problems of energy deficiency and environment pollution. In this study, Aesculus chinensis Bunge leaves (A. Bunge) are used as the research object to study the pyrolysis and extract. The results showed that there are a lot of bioactive components in A. Bunge leaves extract, including acetamide, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, R-limonene, d-mannose, and dihydroxyacetone. The active components of A. Bunge leaves supply scientific evidence for the exploration and exploitation of this plant. The pyrolysis products of A. Bunge leaves are rich in organic acids, aldehydes, and ketones, which means that A. Bunge leaves can be used as a crude material for the manufacturing of bio-oil or bio-fuel. The pyrolysis products include batilol, pregnenolone, benzoic acid, butyrolactone, and propanoic acid, which can be used in biological medicine, chemical crude materials, and industrial raw material reagents. Therefore, A. Bunge leaves can be used as a good crude material for bio-oil or biofuel production. Combining A. Bunge leaves and fast pyrolysis methods can effectively solve the problem of forestry and agricultural residues in the future.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 362:127849.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of micro-aerobic conditions on fungal community succession and dissolved organic matter transformation during dairy manure membrane-covered composting. The results showed that lignocellulose degradation in the micro-aerobic composting group (AC: oxygen concentration < 5 %) was slower than that in the static composting group (SC: oxygen concentration < 1 %), but the dissolved organic carbon in AC was greatly increased. The degree of aromatic polymerization was higher in AC than in SC. But the carboxyl carbon and alcohol/ether biodegradations were faster in SC than in AC, which promoted carbon dioxide and methane emissions, respectively. The relative abundances of pathogenic and dung saprotrophic fungi in AC were 44.6 % and 10.59 % lower than those in SC on day 30, respectively. Moreover, the relative abundance of soil saprotrophs increased by 5.18 % after micro-aerobic composting. Therefore, micro-aerobic conditions improved the quality of compost products by influencing fungal community evolution and dissolved organic matter transformation.

Abstract
Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens L. BSFL) bioconversion is a promising biotechnology for food waste recycling, yet little is known about how BSFL vermicompost affects soil health in terms of element availability and related microbial response. In this work, a field soil experiment for luffa (Luffa cylindrica (L.) Roem.) growth was conducted to examine the impacts of BSFL vermicompost (BV, 9750 kg ha-1, equal to total N input rate of chemically treated soil (CK)) on soil biochemistry and bacterial communities. Relative to CK, application of BV significantly increased total soil carbon by 149% and enhanced catalase and urease activity by 59.2% and 16.2%, respectively. BV increased the degree of aromaticity and humification in dissolved organic matter (DOM) in soil by 28.6% and 27.3%, respectively, compared to CK treatment. Among bacterial communities in soil, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Actinobacteria were the phyla that showed the most substantial alteration in response to BV. Redundancy analysis further revealed that the bacterial community structure was affected by DOM and total phosphorus. Functional analyses indicated that BV enhanced xylanolysis (55.4%) and nitrogen fixation (46.3%), but inhibited nitrification (59.8%). BSFL vermicompost input might effectively prevent the harm of soil borne pathogens (e.g., wilt). Moreover, these function groups strongly correlated with Clostridiales, Actinomycetales, and Nitrospirales. Our study reveals that BSFL vermicompost promoted soil nutrient availability, microbial community succession, and biochemical function optimization, which is conducive to the popularization and application of BSFL vermicompost in the field of soil health. KEY POINTS: • Vermicompost enhanced catalase and urease levels while increased DOM aromaticity. • Vermicompost enriched Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes and improved soil health.

Abstract
Biodegradable household garbage contains a large amount of nitrogen, which could be used as organic fertilizer to produce organic food and significantly reduce synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. There is limited information on how large the nitrogen reservoir of biodegradable household garbage is in a certain country or region. Here we took China as a case, analyzed the amount of biodegradable household garbage resources and their nitrogen reservoirs. It was noted that the biodegradable household garbage mainly included food waste, waste paper and wood chips, with the amount being 31.56, 29.55, and 6.45 × 106 t·a-1, respectively. Accordingly, the nitrogen reservoirs were 65.31 × 104, 6.80 × 104, and 3.81 × 104 t·a-1 in China. The nitrogen reservoir of food waste accounted for 86% of the total nitrogen reservoir of biodegradable household garbage, which was equivalent to 11% of the amount of actual absorption for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (6.20 × 106 t·a-1) by agriculture plants in China. Our findings provided a scientific basis for the classification and utilization of biodegradable household garbage.

Abstract
Considerable researches have been devoted to ascertain the transformation among heavy metal (HM) or phosphorus (P) fractions during aerobic composting. However, available information that additives with different grain-sizes regulate the activation mechanism on P through influencing the passivation effect on HMs remains limited. Thus, this work aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in HM-fractions and P-fractions, and ascertain the interaction pathway between HMs and P during aerobic composting amended with medical stone (Coarse medical stone, 3-5 mm; Fine medical stone, < 0.1 mm). Medical stone, especially for coarse-grained medical stone, significantly enhanced the HM-passivation and P-activation during the composting (P < 0.05). The bioavailability factor of HMs decreased by 48.05% (Cu), 20.65% (Pb), 15.58% (Cd) and 6.10% (Zn), and the content of labile available P (LAP) increased by 6.45%. HMs, with the explanatory capacity of 65.9%-84.9%, was important parameter superior to temperature (0.8%-5.4%), moisture content (MC, 0.1%-1.7%), pH (0.1%-8.7%), electric conductivity (EC, 0.8%-9.8%), carbon-to-nitrogen (C:N, 0.3%-2.3%) ratio and dissolved organic carbon (DOC, 0.4%-3.1%), to evaluate the transformation among P-fractions. Our results cast a new light on P-activation with respect to HM-passivation during aerobic composting.

Abstract
Heavy metals (HMs) accumulation in the soils poses risks towards the environment and health. Glomalin related soil protein (GRSP) produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has metal-sorption and soil aggregation properties and is critical in the survival of plants and AMF. For the first time, this study attempted to examine the GRSP mediated bio-stabilization of HMs in soils contaminated with municipal solid wastes (MSW). The content and interrelationship of GRSP and HMs, along with soil physicochemical properties were studied in 20 different soil samples from the dumping site. Higher amount of GRSP indicated potential bio-stabilization of HMs at some sites. GRSP exhibited weak positive correlation with essential (Zn, Cu) and toxic HMs (Cd, Ni). Cr and Mn were possibly sequestered in AMF structures and thus found to be negatively correlated with GRSP. The positive correlation observed between GRSP and soil nutrients like N, P and soil organic carbon (SOC) indicating potential of AMF-GRSP in sustaining soil health. Results revealed that AMF residing at contaminated sites produced higher amount of GRSP potentially to bio-stabilize the HMs, and reduce their bioavailability and also facilitate SOC sequestration.

Abstract
Assessing the relationship between soil enzyme activities (SEAs) and heavy metals (HMs) without any amendment has rarely been conducted in soils contaminated with municipal solid wastes (MSW). Five soil enzymes [dehydrogenase (DHA), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), acid phosphatase (ACP), urease (UR), and nitrate reductase (NR)] have been assessed for HMs bioremediation using Zea mays L. grown in unamended soils that were contaminated with different types of MSW. Pot experiment was conducted for two seasons with soils collected from seven different locations within the MSW site. Experimental soil samples included a control (CA), contaminated by brick kiln wastes (SA1), kitchen and household wastes (SA2), medical wastes (SA3), mixed wastes (SA4), glass wastes (SA5), and metal scrap wastes (SA6). Rhizospheric soils were collected after the harvest of each season to investigate the impact of HMs on SEAs and physicochemical properties of soil. The results revealed an increase in DHA, ALP, and NR activities by 89.30%, 58.03% and 21.98% in SA1. Likewise, enhanced activities for UR (28.26%) and ACP (19.6%) were observed in SA3 and SA5 respectively. Insignificant increase in the macronutrients and organic carbon (OC) were also noted. The increased microbial count and the relatively higher amount of organic matter (OM) in the rhizosphere indicated the role of OM in HMs immobilization. Principal component analysis (PCA) indicated that DHA and NR are the important soil enzymes, underscored by their active involvement in the C and N turnover in the soil. Likewise, correlation analysis showed that DHA and NR activities were positively correlated with copper (Cu) (0.90, p < 0.01; 0.88, p < 0.01), suggesting its participation as a cofactor in enzymatic activities. In contrast, DHA was negatively correlated with cadmium (Cd) (-0.48, p < 0 0.05). Finally, these results indicated that in the absence of exogenous nutrient amendment, the SEAs were governed by OC, available nitrogen (Avl. N), Cu and Cd respectively. The study also highlighted the need for extensive research on SEAs for its utilization as a bioindicator in various soil bioremediation and quality management practices.

Abstract
Available information about the passivation effect on heavy metals (HMs) through adsorption and humification during zeolite-amended composting remains limited. Thus, this study explored the dynamic changes in HM-fractions (Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr and Pb) during aerobic composting added with different grain-size zeolite (Fine zeolite, < 0.1 mm, ZF; Coarse zeolite: 3-5 mm, ZC). Compared to the control (without zeolite, CK) and ZF treatments, ZC treatment got the highest temperature in the thermophilic phase, and significantly reduced the bioavailability factor (BF) of HMs, especially for Cu (45.13%), Cd (16.11%) and Pb (25.49%). Redundancy analysis (RDA) and structural equation models (SEMs) indicated that zeolite accelerated the passivation effect on Cd and Pb through regulating the electrical conductivity (EC) as a result of surface adsorption, and on Cu by influencing total carbon (TC) under the function of humification. These results increase our understanding of the passivation mechanisms of HMs during aerobic composting.

Thus, this study investigated the correlation between bacterial diversity and HM-fractions (Zn, Cu, Cd, Cr and Pb) during composting with different dose of biochar (5% and 10%, dry weight basis), in order to ascertain the passivation effect on HMs under the influence of bacterial community. The addition of 10% biochar showed better passivation effect with reduction in bioavailability factor (BF) of Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb by 4.10%, 44.12%, 18.75% and 30.06%, respectively. In addition, it brought forward the variation in primary bacterial phylum to the thermophilic phase. The results of redundancy analysis (RDA) and structural equation models (SEMs) indicated that C:N ratio was an important factor in controlling the morphological transformation of HM by affecting the bacterial community structure. Our results maybe provide a novel insight into HM-passivation from an interaction mechanism on C:N ratio and bacterial community.

Abstract
Composting has become a preferable option to treat organic wastes to obtain a final stable sanitized product that can be used as an organic amendment. From home composting to big municipal waste treatment plants, composting is one of the few technologies that can be practically implemented at any scale. This review explores some of the essential issues in the field of composting/compost research: on one hand, the main parameters related to composting performance are compiled, with especial emphasis on the maturity and stability of compost; on the other hand, the main rules of applying compost on crops and other applications are explored in detail, including all the effects that compost can have on agricultural land. Especial attention is paid to aspects such as the improvement of the fertility of soils once compost is applied, the suppressor effect of compost and some negative experiences of massive compost application.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 728:138252. [PMID: 32335403 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138252] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2020] [Revised: 03/25/2020] [Accepted: 03/25/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is one of the most active soil components and plays critical direct and indirect roles in heavy metal migration, transformation, bioavailability, and toxicity in soils. In this study, isothermal adsorption/desorption experiments and pot experiments were performed and samples were physically characterized to study the effects of different sources of DOM on adsorption and desorption behavior and bioavailability of Cd and Hg in a plant-soil system. The results showed that microbial DOM promoted Cd and Hg adsorption in soil and decreased Cd and Hg bioavailability to pak choi (Brassica chinensis Linn.). In contrast, straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM decreased Cd and Hg adsorption and improved Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability. These results might be explained by the different types of DOM having different molecular weights and degrees of aromaticity. Cd was more readily desorbed by the soil and was more phytoavailable than Hg. We concluded that exogenous microbial DOM can inhibit Cd and Hg migration and bioavailability in soil but straw DOM and farmyard manure DOM can activate Cd and Hg in soil and promote Cd and Hg accumulation in plants. The results could help in developing rational agricultural fertilization regimes.

Abstract
This review emphasizes utilization of waste organic matters from water bodies and soil sources for sustainable energy development. These organic waste matters (including microplastics) from a variety of environmental sources have created a big challenge to utilize them for energy development for human needs, maintaining a cleaner environment and thereby, producing useful bioproducts (sustainable bioenergy or other primary metabolites). Anaerobic digestions as well as other effective wastewater treatment approaches are discussed. From the water bodies, waste organic matter reduction can be achieved by a reduction of chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand after the waste treatment. Other forms of organic waste matter are available in the form of agro wastes or residues (stalk of wheat or rice, maize, corn etc.) due to crop cultivation, which are generally burnt into ashes. Such wastes can be utilized for bioenergy energy production, which would help for the reduction of climate changes or other toxic gases. Hydrogen, bioelectricity, ethanol, butanol, methane and algal diesel or other types of fuel sources would help to provide sustainable source of bioenergy that can be produced from these wastes via degradation by the biological processes. This review will discuss in depths about the sustainable nature of organic matters to produce clean energy via application of efficient biological methods to maintain a clean environment, thereby providing alternative options to fossil energy fuels.

Abstract
Increasing food waste (FW) generation has put significant pressure on the environment and has increased the global financial costs of its appropriate management. Among the traditional organic waste recycling technologies (i.e., incineration, landfilling and anaerobic digestion), composting is an economically feasible and reliable technology for FW recycling regardless of its technical flaws and social issues. The global scenario of FW generation, technical advancement in FW composting and essential nutrient recovery from organic waste with waste recycling are discussed in this article. Recent research on various strategies to improve FW composting, including co-composting, the addition of organic/inorganic additives, the mitigation of gaseous emission, and microbiological variations are comprehensively explained. Subsequently, it is shown that the performing FW composting in an existing mechanical facility can improve organic waste degradation and produce value-added mature compost to save on costs and increase the technological feasibility and viability of FW composting to some extent.

Abstract
Laboratory investigations documented enzyme activity, heavy metals' bioavailability and the bacterial community during co-bioevaporation treatment of food waste and landfill leachate. The activities of dehydrogenase, protease, urease and phosphatase were sensitive to the changes in operating temperature inherent in co-bioevaporation. The maximum dehydrogenase activity was appeared at warming 30 °C. The maximum hydrolytic activity of the microorganisms on protein, urea and phosphorus-containing organic compounds appeared at warming 50 °C. The bacteria mainly gathered on the surface and in the pores of the sludge particles used as a bulking agent. Bacterial abundance reached its maximum at warming 50 °C. Firmicutes, Actinobacterica and Proteobacterica were the dominant bacterial phyla involved. Even though co-bioevaporation concentrated the heavy metals in the leachate, their bioavailability was substantially reduced during the process.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the relationships among physico-chemical parameters, dissolved organic matters (DOM), and bacterial community during composting to better understand composting performances. The results showed total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN) (57%), temperature (39%), and pH (3%) were main factors driving the succession of bacterial communities. Firmicutes was a crucial phylum degrading organic matters for DOM formation, whereas the aromaticity and humification of DOM were closely related to Luteimonas (R2 = 0.971, p < 0.05) and Sphingobacteriaceae (R2 = 0.931, p < 0.05). Additionally, total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), and TKN increased by 34.84%, 43.66%, and 65.91%, respectively, while organic matter decreased by 61.79%. The final compost had a C/N of 6.91 (<15) and a germination index of 97.81% (>80%), indicating that compost reached maturity and could be safely applied for soil amendment.
