Appl Environ Microbiol 2024; 90:e0026824. [PMID: 38619268 PMCID: PMC11107166 DOI: 10.1128/aem.00268-24] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
A new variant of Methanothermobacter wolfeii was isolated from an anaerobic digester using enrichment cultivation in anaerobic conditions. The new isolate was taxonomically identified via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and tagged as M. wolfeii BSEL. The whole genome of the new variant was sequenced and de novo assembled. Genomic variations between the BSEL strain and the type strain were discovered, suggesting evolutionary adaptations of the BSEL strain that conferred advantages while growing under a low concentration of nutrients. M. wolfeii BSEL displayed the highest specific growth rate ever reported for the wolfeii species (0.27 ± 0.03 h-1) using carbon dioxide (CO2) as unique carbon source and hydrogen (H2) as electron donor. M. wolfeii BSEL grew at this rate in an environment with ammonium (NH4+) as sole nitrogen source. The minerals content required to cultivate the BSEL strain was relatively low and resembled the ionic background of tap water without mineral supplements. Optimum growth rate for the new isolate was observed at 64°C and pH 8.3. In this work, it was shown that wastewater from a wastewater treatment facility can be used as a low-cost alternative medium to cultivate M. wolfeii BSEL. Continuous gas fermentation fed with a synthetic biogas mimic along with H2 in a bubble column bioreactor using M. wolfeii BSEL as biocatalyst resulted in a CO2 conversion efficiency of 97% and a final methane (CH4) titer of 98.5%v, demonstrating the ability of the new strain for upgrading biogas to renewable natural gas.IMPORTANCEAs a methanogenic archaeon, Methanothermobacter wolfeii uses CO2 as electron acceptor, producing CH4 as final product. The metabolism of M. wolfeii can be harnessed to capture CO2 from industrial emissions, besides producing a drop-in renewable biofuel to substitute fossil natural gas. If used as biocatalyst in new-generation CO2 sequestration processes, M. wolfeii has the potential to accelerate the decarbonization of the energy generation sector, which is the biggest contributor of CO2 emissions worldwide. Nonetheless, the development of CO2 sequestration archaeal-based biotechnology is still limited by an uncertainty in the requirements to cultivate methanogenic archaea and the unknown longevity of archaeal cultures. In this study, we report the adaptation, isolation, and phenotypic characterization of a novel variant of M. wolfeii, which is capable of maximum growth with minimal nutrients input. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this variant for the production of renewable natural gas, paving the way for the development of more efficient and sustainable CO2 sequestration processes.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 351:119719. [PMID: 38043306 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2023.119719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/10/2023] [Revised: 11/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/23/2023] [Indexed: 12/05/2023]
Abstract
Landfill leachate properties contain important information and can be a unique indicator for the chemical and biochemical activities in landfills. In the recent decade, more landfills are experiencing elevated temperature, causing an imbalance in the decomposition of solid waste and affecting the properties of the landfill leachate. This study analyzes the properties of leachate from two landfills that were experiencing elevated temperature (ETLFs), samples were collected from both elevated temperature impacted and non-impacted areas in each landfill. The accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFA) in leachates from elevated temperature impacted areas of both landfill sites revealed that methanogenesis was inhibited by the elevated temperature, which was further confirmed by the more acidic pH, higher H/C elemental ratio, and lower degree of aromaticity of the elevated temperature impacted leachates. Also, carbohydrates depletion indicated possible enhancement of hydrolysis and acidogenesis by elevated temperature, which was supported by compositional comparison of isolated acidic species by negative-ion electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICRMS) at 21 T derived from both elevated temperature impacted and non-impacted areas in the same landfill site. Furthermore, leachate organics fractionation showed that leachates not impacted by elevated temperature contain less hydrophilic fraction and more humic fraction than elevated temperature-impacted leachates for both ETLFs.

Abstract
Heat generation from degradation of organic matter in municipal solid waste (MSW) often leads to increased landfill temperature. However, it is difficult to measure environmental heat loss in laboratory and field tests; therefore, little research has been conducted to evaluate heat generation during waste degradation under different initial temperatures and moisture contents. In this study, tests were conducted to investigate the effects of initial temperature and moisture content on heat generation during waste degradation. A simple formula for calculating heat generation was proposed. Within 200 h, the waste temperature decreased by about 70%, and lower initial moisture contents were associated with greater temperature decreases. The smallest temperature decrease of 47% and the greatest heat generation occurred when the initial temperature was 40 °C. The initial moisture content increased from 30% to 60% and the heat generation increased from 5% to 36%. The heat generation per unit mass of organic matter during the aerobic and anaerobic stages were 19.44-23.77 and 0.27-0.50 MJ·kg-1, respectively, indicating that the proposed formula for calculation of heat generated from waste degradation was reasonable. The results presented herein provide theoretical support for the prediction of heat generation and the recycling of heat resources in MSW landfill sites.

Abstract
Landfill gas (LFG) wellhead data were compared to understand the range of observations due to unique conditions at five elevated temperature landfills (ETLFs) in the U.S. Correlations of the primary gas ratio, CH4:CO2, show distinct compositional indicators for (1) typical operation, (2) subsurface exothermic reactions (SERs), (3) high moisture content, and (4) air intrusion that can help operators and regulators diagnose conditions across gas extraction wells. ETLFs A, B, D, and E showed similar trends, such as decreasing CH4 and increasing CO2, CO, and H2 that have been previously described. ETLF C uniquely exhibited elevated CH4 and temperatures simultaneously due to carbonation (i.e., CO2 consumption) of a steel slag which was used as alternative daily cover (ADC). At the maximum gas well temperature, T = 82 °C/180 °F, CH4 and CO2 concentrations were 47% and 28%, respectively. At ETLFs A, B, and E, H2 > 50% were regularly observed in affected gas wells for several years. At the five ETLFs, maximum CO concentrations ranged from 1400-16,000 ppmv. Like the analysis of CH4:CO2, it is hypothesized here that H2 (%):CO (ppmv) may infer the types of waste that are thermally degrading. Co-disposal of industrial wastes and MSW and the use of potentially reactive ADCs should remain an important consideration for landfill operators and regulators because of their potential long-term impacts to LFG quality.

Abstract
Landfills are the main plastic sinks and microplastics (MPs) sources in the anthropogenic terrestrial system. Understanding the dynamic process of generating MPs is a prerequisite to reducing their potential risk, which remains unexplored because of the complex stabilization process of landfills. In this study, we investigated the evolution process of MPs generated in a partitioned landfill, with well-recorded disposal ages of over 30 years. Considering the initial plastic proportions in fresh landfilled waste, the occurrence of MPs increased exponentially with the disposal age. A booming generation of MPs occurred from 71.3 ± 17.7 items/(g plastic) to 653.1 ± 191.5 items/(g plastic). The generation rates of MPs varied greatly depending on the individual polymer types, with polyethylene (PE) having the highest generation rate of 28.4 items/(g plastic) per year at 31 years, compared to that of polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) at 15.0 and 9.6 items/(g plastic) per year, respectively. The variation in the carbonyl index indicated that environmental oxidation might facilitate the fragmentation of plastic waste. The relative abundance of plastic-degrading microbes increased more than three times in the plastisphere after 30 years of landfilling, indicating that the potential biodegradation might be a nonnegligible driver for plastic fragmentation after long-term natural acclimatization. This study revealed the dynamic evolution process of MPs in landfills and predicted the booming stage, which might provide an important guideline for reducing the leakage risk of MPs during the reclamation of old landfills or dumping sites.

Abstract
Air intrusion into municipal solid waste landfills can cause a localized switch from anaerobic to aerobic biodegradation adjacent to the intrusion. The purpose of this study was to explore the effects on temperature and gas composition of air intrusion into an idealized anaerobic landfill. Two scenarios of air intrusion and injection were simulated using a mechanistic landfill model built into TOUGH2. The modeled landfill geometry and properties are based on an actual U.S. landfill. The simulation results show that air intrusion can cause a quick switch from anaerobic to aerobic conditions and as a result, cause a fast increase in temperature of up to 30 °C associated with stimulation of aerobic biodegradation reactions. Associated with the change to aerobic conditions is a decrease in CH4/CO2 (v/v) ratio in the landfill gas. Depending on the air flow rate intruding or injecting into the landfill, localized aerobic biodegradation is stimulated and as a result heat generation rate of 10 to 150 W/m3 leads to temperature increase. Temperature increase near a temporary air intrusion lasts no longer than a few weeks while the high temperatures in deep layers could last up to one year.

Abstract
In this study, the microbial mechanism of reducing methanogenesis during membrane-covered aerobic composting from solid dairy manure was investigated. An industrial-scale experiment was carried out to compare a static composting group (SC) and a forced aeration composting group (AC) with a semipermeable membrane-covered composting group (MC + AC). The results showed that the semipermeable membrane-covered could improve the oxygen utilization rate and inhibit the anaerobic bacterial genus Hydrogenispora and archaea order Methanobacteriales. During the membrane-covered period, the acetoclastic methanogenesis module in MC + AC, AC and SC decreased by 0.58%, 0.05% and 0.04%, respectively, and the cdhC gene in the acetoclastic pathway was found to be decreased by 65.51% only in MC + AC. Changes in methane metabolism pathways resulted in a 27.48% lower average methane concentration in MC + AC than in SC. Therefore, the semipermeable membrane-covered strategy can effectively reduce methane production during dairy manure aerobic composting by restricting the methanogenesis of the acetoclastic pathway.

Abstract
Methane production during solid waste decomposition is a typical methanogen-mediated and enzyme-catalyzed anaerobic digestion (AD). Methanogen community dynamics and metabolic diversity during the decomposition are not known. In this study, we investigated methanogen community dynamics and methanogenic pathways during solid waste decomposition in a bioreactor using high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing and phylogenetic investigation of communities by reconstruction of unobserved states (PICRUSt), respectively. We also related the methanogen community differences with solid waste and leachate physiochemical parameters. Results showed that the percentage of biodegradable matter (BDM) in solid waste decreased from 55 ± 5% in aerobic phase (AP) to 30 ± 2% in anaerobic acid phase (ACP), and to 13 ± 11% in methanogenic phase (MP), resulting in 76% BDM consumption by microbes. Methanogen community structure varied in AP, ACP, and MP, showing that Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales were dominant in AP and MP and archaea E2 was abundant in ACP. Each phase had abundant core methanogen orders, genera, and species with significant difference (p < 0.05). Redundancy analysis showed that biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) and nitrate significantly influenced methanogen community composition, suggesting that methanogen community structure is nutrient-dependent. Two methanogenic pathways including acetoclastic and hydrogenotrophic pathways with associated functional genes differed at three phases. ACP had the lowest abundance of these genes, indicating that methanogenesis was inhibited in acidogenesis. Abundant hydrogenotrophic and acetoclastic methanogenesis functional genes in MP and AP are in response to the abundance of Methanomicrobiales and Methanosarcinales. The findings provide previously unidentified insight into the mechanism of methanogen community structure and function during solid waste bioconversion for methane.

Hyperthermophilic Composting Technology for Organic Solid Waste Treatment: Recent Research Advances and Trends. Processes (Basel) 2021.

Abstract
Organic solid waste is considered a renewable resource that can be converted by various technologies into valuable products. Conventional thermophilic composting (TC), a well-studied and mature technology, can be applied to organic solid waste treatment to achieve waste reduction, mineralization, and humification simultaneously. However, poor efficiency, a long processing period, as well as low compost quality have always limited its wide application. In order to overcome these shortages, hyperthermophilic composting (HTC) has been recently put forward. This paper reviews the basic principle, process flow, operation parameters, research advances, and application status of HTC. Compared with the TC process, the shorter composting period and higher temperature and treatment efficiency, as well as more desirable compost quality, can be achieved during HTC by inoculating the waste with hyperthermophilic microbes. Additionally, HTC can reduce greenhouse gas emission, increase the removal rate of microplastics and antibiotic residues, and achieve in-situ remediation of heavy metal-polluted soils, which greatly improve its application potential for organic solid waste treatment. This paper also proposes the limitations and future prospects of HTC technology for a wider application. As a result, this review advances our understanding of the HTC process, which promotes its further investigation and application.
