Abstract
In this study, calcium peroxide was modified and doped with metal-based nanoparticles (NP) to enhance the efficiency of pretreatment and biohydrogen generation from RS. The findings revealed that the addition of MnO2-CaO2 NPs (at a dosage of 0.02 g/g TS of RS) had a synergistic effect on the breakdown of biomass and the production of biohydrogen. This enhancement resulted in a maximum hydrogen yield (HY) of 58 mL/g TS, accompanied by increased concentrations of acetic acid (2117 mg/L) and butyric acid (1325 mg/L). In contrast, RS that underwent pretreatment without the use of chemicals or NP exhibited a lower HY of 28 mL/g TS, along with the lowest concentrations of acetic acid (1062 mg/L) and butyric acid (697 mg/L). The outcome showed that supplementation of NP stimulated the pretreatment of RS and improved the formation of acetic and butyric acid through the regulation of metabolic pathways during acidogenic fermentation.

Pretreatments of lignocellulosic and algal biomasses for sustainable biohydrogen production: Recent progress, carbon neutrality, and circular economy. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2023; 369:128380. [PMID: 36427768 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.128380] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/17/2022] [Accepted: 11/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Lignocellulosic and algal biomasses are known to be vital feedstocks to establish a green hydrogen supply chain toward achieving a carbon-neutral society. However, one of the most pressing issues to be addressed is the low digestibility of these biomasses in biorefinery processes, such as dark fermentation, to produce green hydrogen. To date, various pretreatment approaches, such as physical, chemical, and biological methods, have been examined to enhance feedstock digestibility. However, neither systematic reviews of pretreatment to promote biohydrogen production in dark fermentation nor economic feasibility analyses have been conducted. Thus, this study offers a comprehensive review of current biomass pretreatment methods to promote biohydrogen production in dark fermentation. In addition, this review has provided comparative analyses of the technological and economic feasibility of existing pretreatment techniques and discussed the prospects of the pretreatments from the standpoint of carbon neutrality and circular economy.

The quality of compost was improved by low concentrations of fulvic acid owing to its optimization of the exceptional microbial structure. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2021; 342:125843. [PMID: 34530250 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125843] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 08/21/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The influence of different concentrations of fulvic acid at 0, 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg was evaluated during the course of composting with straw and mushroom residues as substrates. The optimal concentration of fulvic acid is 100 mg/Kg based on microbial characteristics, chemical parameters, and germination index testing. Nearly 80% of the microbial taxa responded significantly to fulvic acid over the composting period, with a dynamic change of the co-occurrence network from complex to simple and then to complex. Fulvic acid accelerated the progress of composting and reduced the emission of gases at the thermophilic phase. The optimal concentration of fulvic acid enriched the beneficial microorganisms Aeribacillus, Oceanobacillus, and Rhodospirillaceae, and decreased the abundances of pathogenic microorganisms Corynebacterium, Elizabethkingia, and Sarcocystidae. This study indicates a new strategy to optimize the composting process using the biostimulant fulvic acid.

Bacterial community diversity, lignocellulose components, and histological changes in composting using agricultural straws for Agaricus bisporus production. PeerJ 2021; 9:e10452.

Abstract
Agricultural straws (AS) may serve as potential base-substances in the production of Agaricus bisporus. Six AS that occur across China were investigated in a two-stage composting experiment; lignocellulose components, AS morphology, and the effects of different AS on mushroom yields from 2015-2017 were examined. In addition, microbial biodiversity and their impact on substrate degradation were studied using 16S gene sequenc based on six different AS on the 3rd (I.F), 6th (I.S), and 10th (I.T) day of Phase I, and Phase II (II). Results showed that the six different AS exhibited differences in the progression of degradation under the same compost condition; the wheat straw, rice straw, and cotton straw induced a significantly higher mushroom yield than did the others (P < 0.05); Thermobispora, Thermopolyspora, and Vulgatibacter genera may play an important role in the different AS degradations. According to our experiments, we can adjust formulations and compost methods to obtain high-yield mushroom compost based on different AS in the future.

Abstract
The mimicking of evolution on a laboratory timescale to enhance biocatalyst specificity, substrate utilization activity, and/or product formation, is an effective and well-established approach that does not involve genetic engineering or regulatory details of the microorganism. The present work employed an evolutionary adaptive approach to improve the lignocellulose deconstruction capabilities of the strain by inducing the expression of laccase, a multicopper oxidase, in Geobacillus sp. strain WSUCF1. This bacterium is highly efficient in depolymerizing unprocessed lignocellulose, needing no preprocessing/pretreatment of the biomasses. However, it natively produces low levels of laccase. After 15 rounds of serially adapting this thermophilic strain in the presence of unprocessed corn stover as the selective pressure, we recorded a 20-fold increase in catalytic laccase activity, at 9.23 ± 0.6 U/mL, in an adapted yet stable strain of Geobacillus sp. WSUCF1, compared with the initial laccase production (0.46 ± 0.04 U/mL) obtained with the unadapted strain grown on unprocessed corn stover before optimization. Chemical composition analysis demonstrated that lignin removal by the adapted strain was 22 wt.% compared with 6 wt.% removal by the unadapted strain. These results signify a favorable prospect for fast, cost competitive bulk production of this thermostable enzyme. Also, this work has practical importance, as this fast adaptation of the Geobacillus sp. strain WSUCF1 suggests the possibility of growing industrial quantities of Geobacillus sp. strain WSUCF1 cells as biocatalysts on reasonably inexpensive carbon sources for commercial use. This work is the first application of the adaptive laboratory evolution approach for developing the desired phenotype of enhanced ligninolytic capability in any microbial strain.

Pretreatment of polysaccharidic wastes with cellulolytic Aspergillus fumigatus for enhanced production of biohythane in a dual-stage process. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 299:122592. [PMID: 31869631 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2019.122592] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/24/2019] [Revised: 12/06/2019] [Accepted: 12/07/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Biological pretreatment of polysaccharidic wastes (PWs) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach to improve the digestibility and utilization of these valuable substrates in dual-stage biohythane production. In order to reduce the prolonged incubation time and loss of carbohydrate during the pretreatment of PWs with Aspergillus fumigatus, a systematic optimization using Taguchi methodology resulted in an unprecedented recovery of soluble carbohydrates (362.84 mg g-1) within 5 days. The disruption and fragmentation of lignocellulosic structures in PWs, and possible saccharification of cellulose and hemicellulose components, increased its digestibility. A dual-stage biohythane production with pretreated PWs showed increased yield (214.13 mL g-1 VSadded), which was 56% higher than the corresponding value with the untreated PWs. This resulted in 47% higher energy recovery as biohythane in pretreated biomass compared to untreated biomass. Optimized fungal pretreatment is, therefore, an effective method to improve the digestibility of PWs and its subsequent conversion to biohythane.
