Sun Y, Xu Y, Wu H, Hou J. A critical review on BDE-209: Source, distribution, influencing factors, toxicity, and degradation. ENVIRONMENT INTERNATIONAL 2024; 183:108410. [PMID: 38160509 DOI: 10.1016/j.envint.2023.108410] [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: 08/29/2023] [Revised: 12/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/24/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
As the most widely used polybrominated diphenyl ether, BDE-209 is commonly used in polymer-based commercial and household products. Due to its unique physicochemical properties, BDE-209 is ubiquitous in a variety of environmental compartments and can be exposed to organisms in various ways and cause toxic effects. The present review outlines the current state of knowledge on the occurrence of BDE-209 in the environment, influencing factors, toxicity, and degradation. BDE-209 has been detected in various environmental matrices including air, soil, water, and sediment. Additionally, environmental factors such as organic matter, total suspended particulate, hydrodynamic, wind, and temperature affecting BDE-209 are specifically discussed. Toxicity studies suggest BDE-209 may cause systemic toxic effects on living organisms, reproductive toxicity, embryo-fetal toxicity, genetic toxicity, endocrine toxicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and developmental toxicity, or even be carcinogenic. BDE-209 has toxic effects on organisms mainly through epigenetic regulation and induction of oxidative stress. Evidence regarding the degradation of BDE-209, including biodegradation, photodegradation, Fenton degradation, zero-valent iron degradation, chemical oxidative degradation, and microwave radiation degradation is summarized. This review may contribute to assessing the environmental risks of BDE-209 to help develop rational management plans.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 905:166992.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) presents a promising feedstock for carbon management due to enormous potential for achieving carbon neutrality and delivering substantial environmental and economic benefit. Bioenergy derived from LCB accounts for about 10.3 % of the global total energy supply. The generation of bioenergy through anaerobic digestion (AD) in combination with carbon capture and storage, particularly for methane production, provides a cost-effective solution to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, while concurrently facilitating bioenergy production and the recovery of high-value products during LCB conversion. However, the inherent recalcitrant polymer crystal structure of lignocellulose impedes the accessibility of anaerobic bacteria, necessitating lignocellulosic residue pretreatment before AD or microbial chain elongation. This paper seeks to explore recent advances in pretreatment methods for LCB biogas production, including pulsed electric field (PEF), electron beam irradiation (EBI), freezing-thawing pretreatment, microaerobic pretreatment, and nanomaterials-based pretreatment, and provide a comprehensive overview of the performance, benefits, and drawbacks of the traditional and improved treatment methods. In particular, physical-chemical pretreatment emerges as a flexible and effective option for methane production from straw wastes. The burgeoning field of nanomaterials has provoked progress in the development of artificial enzyme mimetics and enzyme immobilization techniques, compensating for the intrinsic defect of natural enzyme. However, various complex factors, such as economic effectiveness, environmental impact, and operational feasibility, influence the implementation of LCB pretreatment processes. Techno-economic analysis (TEA), life cycle assessment (LCA), and artificial intelligence technologies provide efficient means for evaluating and selecting pretreatment methods. This paper addresses current issues and development priorities for the achievement of the appropriate and sustainable utilization of LCB in light of evolving economic and environmentally friendly social development demands, thereby providing theoretical basis and technical guidance for improving LCB biogas production of AD systems.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that contaminates animal feed and crops around the world. DON not only causes significant economic losses, but can also lead diarrhea, vomiting, and gastroenteritis in humans and farm animals. Thus, there is an urgent need to find efficient approaches for DON decontamination in feed and food. However, physical and chemical treatment of DON may affect the nutrients, safety, and palatability of food. By contrast, biological detoxification methods based on microbial strains or enzymes have the advantages of high specificity, efficiency, and no secondary pollution. In this review, we comprehensively summarize the recently developed strategies for DON detoxification and classify their mechanisms. In addition, we identify remaining challenges in DON biodegradation and suggest research directions to address them. In the future, an in-depth understanding of the specific mechanisms through which DON is detoxified will provide an efficient, safe, and economical means for the removal of toxins from food and feed.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a low-cost technology widely used to divert waste activated sludge (WAS) to renewable energy production, but is generally restricted by its poor biodegradability which mainly caused by the endogenous and exogenous refractory substances present in WAS. Several conventional methods such as thermal-, chemical-, and mechanical-based pretreatment have been demonstrated to be effective on organics release, but their functions on refractory substances conversion are overlooked. This paper firstly reviewed the presence and role of endogenous and exogenous refractory substances in anaerobic biodegradability of WAS, especially on their inhibition mechanisms. Then, the pretreatment strategies developed for enhancing WAS biodegradability by facilitating refractory substances conversion were comprehensively reviewed, with the conversion pathways and underlying mechanisms being emphasized. Finally, the future research needs were directed, which are supposed to improve the circular bioeconomy of WAS management from the point of removing the hindering barrier of refractory substances on WAS biodegradability.

Abstract
A novel microbial consortium ZY1 capable of degrading tricresyl phosphates (TCPs) was isolated, it could quickly degrade 100% of 1 mg/L tri-o-cresyl phosphate (ToCP), tri-p-cresyl phosphate (TpCP) and tri-m-cresyl phosphate (TmCP) within 36, 24 and 12 h separately and intracellular enzymes occupied the dominated role in TCPs biodegradation. Additionally, triphenyl phosphate (TPHP), 2-ethylhexyl diphenyl phosphate (EHDPP), bisphenol-A bis (diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), tris (2-chloroethyl) phosphate (TCEP) and tris (1-chloro-2-propyl) phosphate (TCPP) could also be degraded by ZY1 and the aryl-phosphates was easier to be degraded. The TCPs reduction observed in freshwater and seawater indicated that high salinity might weak the degradability of ZY1. The detected degradation products suggested that TCPs was mainly metabolized though the hydrolysis and hydroxylation. Sequencing analysis presented that the degradation of TCPs relied on the cooperation between sphingobacterium, variovorax and flavobacterium. The cytochrome P450/NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and phosphatase were speculated might involve in TCPs degradation. Finally, toxicity evaluation study found that the toxicity of the diesters products was lower than their parent compound based on the generation of the intracellular reactive oxygen (ROS) and the apoptosis rate of A549 cell. Taken together, this research provided a new insight for the bioremediation of TCPs in actual environment.

Abstract
A one-pot co-pyrolysis of potassium/calcium carbonate with biowaste-derived hydrochar strategy was proposed to prepare hierarchical porous biochars (HPBs) for the first time. The pore structure, especially the pore size distribution, could be designed by adjusting the mass ratios of different carbonates. HPBs were hydrophobic, nitrogen doped, graphitized, and contained surface functional groups. HPBs showed unexpected sorption quantity for diethyl phthalate (DEP) that reached 657 mg g-1, which much higher than that of the reported sorbents. The sorption was multilayered and had multiple action modes, and was limited by the chemical sorption and the sorption quantity was dominated by the physical sorption. Lewis acid-base interaction, π-π stacking interaction, hydrogen bonding interaction, partitioning and pore filling were the potential sorption mechanisms. This work proposed a simple, environmentally friendly and low-cost method to convert biowaste into advanced HPBs and confirmed that produced HPBs represent ideal sorbents for the removal of organic pollutants.

Abstract
Improving the efficiency of hydrolytic acidification is critical for methane production from agricultural waste. This study is the first to apply domesticated paddy soil microbes to (DPSM) enhance the hydrolytic acidification of rice straw (RS) and pig manure (PM) to obtain acidizing fluid for anaerobic digestion (AD). At a substrate concentration of 20%, the inoculation of an RS-PM mixture (1:3) with 35% DPSM degraded the volatile solids by 48.1% and yielded 6.8 g/L of volatile fatty acids and 4.7 g/L of acetic acid after seven days of hydrolytic acidification. After 10 days of subsequent AD, the cumulative methane production of the acidizing fluid was 304.96 mL/g COD, similar (P > 0.05) to the control (318.27 mL/g COD). However, the methane production time decreased by 43.4% (from 30 to 17 days), thereby improving the AD efficiency. Inoculation with DPSM is therefore an effective pre-treatment for agricultural waste for methane production.

Abstract
The aim of the study was to determine the quantitative and qualitative changes taking place in biomass components actively participating in methane fermentation, i.e., in carbohydrates, as a result of chemical pretreatment. Analyses were conducted on agricultural waste (corn stover, also called corn straw, and corncobs) as materials most commonly used in methane fermentation, as well as poplar wood, a material relatively rarely used in biogas production. Pretreatment with the aim of increasing efficiency of methane fermentation was carried out with the use of acid and alkaline solutions of different concentrations. The effect of pretreatment on carbohydrates was analyzed based on the quantitative and qualitative changes in this component. Due to the structural heterogeneity of carbohydrates, their varied reactivity and fermentability were determined in terms of holocellulose, cellulose, and pentosans. The chemical structure of cellulose was also analyzed. It is shown in this study that chemical pretreatment causes transformations of carbohydrate components, which differ quantitatively and qualitatively in the compared raw materials. It was found that the alkaline treatment caused smaller changes in the percentage shares of the carbohydrate biomass components as compared to the acid treatment. Moreover, it was observed that the compared materials differ in terms of quantitative changes in their chemical composition depending on the composition of the raw material prior to pretreatment. In the case of corn waste subjected to the action of 1 and 3% NaOH, the share of pentosans in the biomass increased. It was established that this is a change with a positive effect on fermentation efficiency. The action of acids and alkalis on the biomass led to similar structural changes in cellulose, which are adverse for the fermentation process.

Abstract
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus section Flavi that contaminates a wide variety of food and feed products and is responsible for serious health and economic consequences. Fermented foods are prepared with a wide variety of substrates over a long fermentation time and are thus vulnerable to contamination by aflatoxin-producing fungi, leading to the production of aflatoxin B1. The mitigation and control of aflatoxin is currently a prime focus for developing safe aflatoxin-free food. This review summarizes the role of major aflatoxin-degrading enzymes such as laccase, peroxidase, and lactonase, and microorganisms in the context of their application in food. A putative mechanism of enzyme-mediated aflatoxin degradation and toxicity evaluation of the degraded products are also extensively discussed to evaluate the safety of degradation processes for food applications. The review also describes aflatoxin-degrading microorganisms isolated from fermented products and investigates their applicability in food as aflatoxin preventing agents. Furthermore, a summary of recent technological advancements in protein engineering, nanozymes, in silico and statistical optimization approaches are explored to improve the industrial applicability of aflatoxin-degrading enzymes.

Abstract
In composting, the degradation of lignocellulose in straw is problematic due to its complex structures such as lignin. A common solution to this problem is the addition of exogenous inoculants. AC-1, a stable thermophilic microbial composite, was isolated from high temperature compost samples that can decompose lignocellulose at 50–70 °C. AC-1 had a best degradation efficiency of rice straw at 60 °C (78.92%), of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin were 82.49%, 97.20% and 20.12%, respectively. It showed degrad-ability on both simple (filter paper, absorbent cotton) and complex (rice straw) cellulose materials. It produced acetic and formic acid during decomposition process and the pH had a trend of first downward then upward. High throughput sequencing revealed the main bacterial components of AC-1 were Tepidimicrobium, Haloplasma, norank-f-Limnochordaceae, Ruminiclostridium and Rhodothermus which provides major theoretical basis for further application of AC-1.

Abstract
The increase in global population size over the past 100 decades has doubled the requirements for energy resources. To mitigate the limited fossil fuel available, new clean energy sources being environmental sustainable for replacement of traditional energy sources are explored to supplement the current scarcity. Biomass containing lignin and cellulose is the main raw material to replace fossil energy given its abundance and lower emission of greenhouse gases and NOx when transformed into energy. Bacteria, fungi and algae decompose lignocellulose leading to generation of hydrogen, methane, bioethanol and biodiesel being the clean energy used for heating, power generation and the automobile industry. Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) uses microorganisms to decompose biomass in wastewater to generate electricity and remove heavy metals in wastewater. Biomass contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other biomacromolecules which need hydrolyzation for conversion into small molecules by corresponding enzymes in order to be utilized by microorganisms. This paper discusses microbial decomposition of biomass into clean energy and the five major ways of clean energy production, and its economic benefits for future renewable energy security.

[PMID: 33878497 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2021.125148] [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: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/04/2021] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology to recover bioenergy from biodegradable biomass, including cellulosic wastes. Through a few fractionation/separation techniques, cellulose has demonstrated its potential in AD, but the performance of the process is rather substrate-specific, as cellulolysis bacteria are sensitive to the enzyme-substrate interactions. Cellulosome is a self-assembled enzyme complex with many functionalized modules in the bacteria which has been gradually studied, however the genomic fingerprints of the culture-specific cellulosome in AD are relatively unclear especially under processing conditions. To clarify the key factors affecting the cellulosome induced cellulolysis, this review summarized the most recent publications of AD regarding the fates of cellulose, sources and functional genes of cellulosome, and omics methods for functional analyses. Different processes for organic treatment including applying food grinds in sewer, biomass valorization, cellulose fractionation, microaeration, and enzymatic hydrolysis enhanced fermentation, were highlighted to support the sustainable development of AD technology.

Abstract
Population increase and industrialization has resulted in high energy demand and consumptions, and presently, fossil fuels are the major source of staple energy, supplying 80% of the entire consumption. This has contributed immensely to the greenhouse gas emission and leading to global warming, and as a result of this, there is a tremendous urgency to investigate and improve fresh and renewable energy sources worldwide. One of such renewable energy sources is biogas that is generated by anaerobic fermentation that uses different wastes such as agricultural residues, animal manure, and other organic wastes. During anaerobic digestion, hydrolysis of substrates is regarded as the most crucial stage in the process of biogas generation. However, this process is not always efficient because of the domineering stableness of substrates to enzymatic or bacteria assaults, but substrates' pretreatment before biogas production will enhance biogas production. The principal objective of pretreatments is to ease the accessibility of the enzymes to the lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose which leads to degradation of the substrates. Hence, the use of pretreatment for catalysis of lignocellulose substrates is beneficial for the production of cost-efficient and eco-friendly process. In this review, we discussed different pretreatment technologies of hydrolysis and their restrictions. The review has shown that different pretreatments have varying effects on lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose degradation and biogas yield of different substrate and the choice of pretreatment technique will devolve on the intending final products of the process.

Abstract
Waste produced in various fields and activities in society has been increasing, thereby causing immediate environmental harm and a serious-global problem. Recently, the attitude towards waste has changed along with innovations making waste as a new resource. Agricultural and forestry wastes (AFWs) are globally produced in huge amounts and thought to be an important resource to be used for decreasing the dependence on fossil fuels. The central issue is to take use of AFW for different types of products making it a source of energy and at the same time refining it for the production of valuable chemicals. In this review, we present an overview of the composition and pretreatment of AFWs, thermochemical liquefaction including direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction (liquid products from syngas by gasification) for producing biofuels and/or chemicals. The following two key points were discussed in-depth: the solvent or medium of thermochemical conversion and circular economy of liquid products. The concept of bio-economy entails economic use of waste streams, leading to the widened assessment of biomass use for energy where sustainability is a key issue coined in the circular economy. The smart use of AFWs requires a combination of available waste streams and local technical solutions to meet sustainability criteria.

Abstract
The pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass (LC biomass) prior to the anaerobic digestion (AD) process is a mandatory step to improve feedstock biodegradability and biogas production. An important potential is provided by lignocellulosic materials since lignocellulose represents a major source for biogas production, thus contributing to the environmental sustainability. The main limitation of LC biomass for use is its resistant structure. Lately, biological pretreatment (BP) gained popularity because they are eco-friendly methods that do not require chemical or energy input. A large number of bacteria and fungi possess great ability to convert high molecular weight compounds from the substrate into lower mass compounds due to the synthesis of microbial extracellular enzymes. Microbial strains isolated from various sources are used singly or in combination to break down the recalcitrant polymeric structures and thus increase biogasgeneration. Enzymatic treatment of LC biomass depends mainly on enzymes like hemicellulases and cellulases generated by microorganisms. The articles main purpose is to provide an overview regarding the enzymatic/biological pretreatment as one of the most potent techniques for enhancing biogas production.

Abstract
Accelerants can significantly enhance the biodegradability in anaerobic digestion (AD), which can be attributed to the direct interspecies electron transfer (DIET) mechanism. However, critical evidence for DIET mechanism is absent. In this work, nano-scale tungsten (W)-based compounds (WC, W2N, and W18O49) are employed to clarify the roles of W-based accelerants in AD systems. A DIET mechanism based on the W-based accelerants is proposed, and three critical pieces of evidence are provided: (i) First-principle density functional theory calculations provide theoretical evidence, illustrating that W-based accelerants are of zero band gap. (ii) Electrical conductivity evaluation further elucidates that W-based accelerants have superior electronic transport. (iii) Pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene confirms the existence of acetogens and methanogens in AD systems, which can act as electron-donor bacteria and electron-acceptor archaea, respectively. Combining theoretical with experimental results, the critical evidence provides a general strategy for understanding the DIET mechanism of accelerant in AD systems.

Abstract
Since there is high lignocellulose content in the cotton straw and cow manure mixture (MCC), the appropriate MCC pretreatment is important to promote the anaerobic digestion (AD) hydrolysis. This study mainly explored the effect of potassium ferrate (PF) and peroxymonosulfate (PMS) pretreatments on MCC decomposition. PMS + PF co-treatment showed a higher reduction of total solid and volatile solid than PF pretreatment and PMS pretreatment. Hydrolysis of treated MCC indicated that the PF pretreatment was more effective to the release of organics than the PMS pretreatment and the PMS + PF co-treatment. However, the PMS + PF co-treatment resulted in a higher lignin removal rate (40.4%-50.5%) than the PMS pretreatment (30.8%) and the PF pretreatment (21.4%). The PMS1 + PF2 co-treatment (molar ratio of 1:2) acquired the optimal lignin removal rate and the release of organics among the PMS + PF co-treatment with different dosing ratio. Potential mechanism was that PF reduction products activated PMS to produce free radicals (SO4-, OH), which attacked lignocellulosic components and promoted MCC decomposition. The PMS1 + PF2 co-treatment was deduced to be the optimal pretreatment method when considering MCC decomposition, biodegradability, and mass transfer in the bioreactor.

Abstract
Microbial consortium remediation has been considered to be a promising technique for BDE-209 elimination in water, soil and sediment. Herein, we studied malondialdehyde (MDA), membrane potential (MP), and reactive active species (ROS) of a microbial consortium GY1 exposed to BDE-209. The results indicated that the microbial antioxidant defense system was vulnerable by BDE-209. Both early and late apoptosis of microbial consortium induced by BDE-209 were observed. The sequencing results revealed that Stenotrophomonas, Microbacterium and Sphingobacterium in GY1 played major roles in BDE-209 degradation. Moreover, a novel facultative anaerobic BDE-209 degrading strain named Microbacterium Y2 was identified from GY1, by which approximately 56.1% of 1 mg/L BDE-209 was degraded within 7 days, and intracellular enzymes of which contributed great to the result. Overall, the current study provided new insights to deeply understand the mechanisms of BDE-209 degradation by microbial consortium.

Abstract
Environmental problems caused by the large-scale use of chemical pesticides are becoming more and more serious, and the removal of chemical pesticides from the ecological environment by microbial degradation has attracted wide attention. In this study, using enrichment screening with seven chemical pesticides as the sole carbon source, a mixed microbial culture (PCS-1) was obtained from the continuous cropping of strawberry fields. The microbial community composition, degradation ability, and detoxification effect of PCS-1 was determined for the seven pesticides. Inoculation with PCS-1 showed significant degradation of and tolerance to the seven pesticides. Microbial community composition analysis indicated that Pseudomonas, Enterobacter, Aspergillus, and Rhodotorula were the dominant genera for the degradation of the seven pesticides by PCS-1. The concentration of the seven pesticides was 10 mg L-1 in hydroponic and soil culture experiments. The fresh weight, plant height, and root length of PCS-1-inoculated alfalfa (Medicago sativa) significantly increased compared with those of non-PCS-1-inoculated M. sativa. PCS-1 not only effectively degraded the residual content of the seven pesticides in water and soil but also reduced the pesticide residues in the roots, stems, and leaves of M. sativa. This study shows that PCS-1 may be important in environmental remediation involving the seven pesticides.

Abstract
Catalpa sawdust (CSW) is a promising biomass-based biofuel. However, the complex lignocellulosic structure limits its efficient utilization in biorefinery applications. It is even more so when chlorophenols (CPs), highly toxic organic substances widely used as wood preservatives, are present. Hence, it is crucial to develop effective and eco-friendly approaches to attain deconstruction of lignocellulose and chlorophenols simultaneously as well as to improve methane (CH4) production efficiently. This study might be the first to explore the performance of the novel constructed microbial consortia CS-5 and BC-4 on woody biomass degradation and CPs detoxification simultaneously with CH4 production. After the degradation of CSW and CPs for 15 days by C5-5 or BC-4, significant reduction in lignocellulosic components and CPs mixture was realized with a total weight loss of 69.2 and 56.3 % and CPs degradation of 89 and 95 %, respectively. The toxicity of individual or mixed CPs after 15 days of degradation was reduced by approximately 90 %. The synergistic action of CS-5 and BC-4 enhanced biogas and CH4 yields over 76 and 64 % respectively, higher than control. Furthermore, CH4 production increased by 113.7 % at the peak phase of AD process. Methanosataceae represented 45.1 % of the methanogenic Archaea in digester G-III.

Abstract
In this study, a novel psychrotrophic lignocelluloses degrading microbial consortium LTF-27 was successfully obtained from cold perennial forest soil by successive enrichment culture under facultative anaerobic static conditions. The microbial consortium showed efficient degradation of rice straw, which cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin lost 71.7%, 65.6% and 12.5% of its weigh, respectively, in 20 days at 15 °C. The predominant liquid products were acetic acid and butyric acid during degrading lignocellulose in anaerobic digestion (AD) process inoculated with the LTF-27. The consortium mainly composed of Parabacteroides, Alcaligenes, Lysinibacillus, Sphingobacterium, and Clostridium, along with some unclassified uncultured bacteria, indicating powerful synergistic interaction in AD process. A multi-species lignocellulolytic enzyme system working cooperatingly on lignocelluolse degradation was revealed by proteomics analysis of cellulose bound fraction of the crude extracellular enzyme, which provides key theoretical base for further exploration and application of LTF-27.

Millati R, Wikandari R, Ariyanto T, Putri RU, Taherzadeh MJ. Pretreatment technologies for anaerobic digestion of lignocelluloses and toxic feedstocks. BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2020; 304:122998.

Abstract
Several feedstocks for anaerobic digestion (AD) have challenges that hamper the success of AD with their low accessible surface area, biomass recalcitrance, and the presence of natural inhibitors. This paper presents different types of pretreatment to address those individual challenges and how they contribute to facilitate AD. Organosolv and ionic liquid pretreatments are effective to remove lignin without a significant defect on lignin structures. To deal with accessible surface area and crystallinity, comminution, steam explosion, pretreatment using N-methyl-morpholine-N-oxide methods are suggested. Moreover, solid extraction, simple aeration, and biological treatments are capable in removing natural inhibitors. Up to date, methods like comminution, thermal process, and grinding are more preferable to be scaled-up.

Abstract
This study might be the first to explore the novel constructed microbial consortia CS-5 and BC-4 for enhancing methane (CH4) production during anaerobic digestion (AD) with simultaneous degradation of catalpa sawdust and chlorophenols (CPs). Significant reduction in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin contents was achieved after the biodegradation of catalpa sawdust for 15 days by CS-5 and BC-4, with a total weight loss of 69.2 and 56.3%, respectively. The synergistic microbial consortia enhanced cumulative biogas and CH4 yields by 76.3 and 64.3%, respectively higher than the corresponding control at the end of AD. More than 90% of CH4 was produced within 18 days of AD as a result of microbial pretreatment of catalpa sawdust. These consortia resulted in remarkably higher energy conversion efficiency of 44.3% (218.1 LN CH4/kg TS) over the control. CS-5 and BC-4 removed more than 69 and 77% of the total amount of CPs tested after 15 days.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most harmful mycotoxin. Aflatoxin occurrence in tea makes this beverage unsuitable for consumption and presented risks to human health. Therefore, researches in aflatoxin microbial degradation are necessary to overcome this problem. Kombucha beverage is associated with health promoting effects. Thus, novel strains (Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts) were isolated from a Kombucha culture and assessed for AFB1 degradation in the liquid medium (Man Rogosa and Sharpe broth, yeast extract peptone dextrose broth and black tea). The main strains involved in AFB1 decontamination were identified based on DNA sequencing and the toxicity of the new products was evaluated on Hep2 cells and on Brine shrimp (Artemia salina). Our results showed that after 7 days of fermentation, kombucha was able to degrade 97% of AFB1 in black tea. Moreover, the effective yeasts present in Kombucha were identified as Pichia occidentalis, Candida sorboxylosa and Hanseniaspora opuntiae and the highest AFB1 degradation capacity was accorded to P. occidentalis (59%) when cultivated in black tea. Data on cytotoxicity tests on Hep2 cells and Brine shrimp (Artemia salina) showed that the biodegraded products were less toxic than pure AFB1. These findings suggest that, kombucha isolated strains could be potential candidates for application in the food and feed industry with a potential aflatoxin B1 detoxification properties.

The Impact of Exogenous Aerobic Bacteria on Sustainable Methane Production Associated with Municipal Solid Waste Biodegradation: Revealed by High-Throughput Sequencing. SUSTAINABILITY 2020.

Abstract
In this work, the impact of exogenous aerobic bacteria mixture (EABM) on municipal solid waste (MSW) is well evaluated in the following aspects: biogas production, leachate analysis, organic waste degradation, EABM population, and the composition of microbial communities. The study was designed and performed as follows: the control bioreactor (R1) was filled up with MSW and the culture medium of EABM and the experimental bioreactor (R2) was filled up with MSW and EABM. The data suggests that the composition of microbial communities (bacterial and methanogenic) in R1 and R2 were similar at day 0, while the addition of EABM in R2 led to a differential abundance of Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus, Staphlyoccus xylosus, and Pantoea agglomerans in two bioreactors. The population of exogenous aerobic bacteria in R2 greatly increased during hydrolysis and acidogenesis stages, and subsequently increased the degradation of volatile solid (VS), protein, lipid, and lignin by 59.25%, 25.68%, 60.47%, and 197.62%, respectively, compared to R1. The duration of hydrolysis and acidogenesis in R2 was 33.33% shorter than that in R1. At the end of the study, the accumulative methane yield in R2 (494.4 L) was almost three times more than that in R1 (187.4 L). In addition, the abundance of acetoclasic methanogens increased at acetogenesis and methanogenesis stages in both bioreactors, which indicates that acetoclasic methanogens (especially Methanoseata) could contribute to methane production. This study demonstrates that EABM can accelerate organic waste degradation to promote MSW biodegradation and methane production. Moreover, the operational parameters helped EABM to generate 20.85% more in accumulative methane yield. With a better understanding of how EABM affects MSW and the composition of bacterial community, this study offers a potential practical approach to MSW disposal and cleaner energy generation worldwide.

Abstract
Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) of corn silage (CS) and waste activated sludge (WAS) co-substrates, compared with anaerobic digestion (AD) of mono-substrate WAS, was simulated under mesophilic conditions with the adapted IWA Anaerobic Digestion Model No. 1 (ADM1), and a rule-based PID control system for control of the AcoD of CS and WAS, through control of their ratios in the feed, was developed, implemented with the model as a test platform. Tests on AcoD of co-substrates were conducted at the COD mass-based feeding ratios of CS to WAS 1:2.5, 1:2.0 and 1:1.2. The maximal biogas production was 0.94 m3/kgVS·d at the feeding ratio 1:1.2. The ADM1 was adapted, and the high-sensitivity kinetic parameters were calibrated and optimised using the data from the tests of steady state mono-digestion of WAS and AcoD of CS and WAS. The simulated data of biogas and methane production, methane content, VFA and pH agreed well with the test data. The rule-based PID control was developed with an additional expert system, in which the lower level controller operated the level of VFA/TIC and the upper level controller manipulated the setpoints of methane production. The feeding ratio of CS to WAS was used as a manipulated variable. With the constraint boundaries, the test on the control system showed that it could keep methane production stable to the setpoint and maximise methane production while resisting the disturbances to AcoD by adjusting the feeding ratios of CS to WAS.

Abstract
Biogas production of palm oil mill effluent (POME) and empty fruit bunches (EFB) was performed by coupled liquid (L-AD) and solid-state (SS-AD) anaerobic digestion processes. POME was fed to L-AD digester, while mixed of effluent from L-AD and EFB was fed to SS-AD digester. The maximum overall methane production of 60.9 m3-CH4·ton-1 waste was obtained at an optimal hydraulic retention time of 30 days and an organic loading rate of 1.66 gVS·L-1-reactor·d-1 for L-AD and 6.03 gVS·L-1-reactor·d-1 for SS-AD with L-AD effluent recycling rate of 16.7 mL·L-1-reactor·d-1. The bacterial community in the L-AD reactor was different from the SS-AD reactor, while the archaeal community was similar in both reactors. Synergistaceae, Caldicoprobacteraceae and Lachnospiraceae were increased in the SS-AD reactor. Coupling L-AD and SS-AD is able to increase energy production by 29% and 71% compared to the L-AD and SS-AD alone, respectively, with no outsource SS-AD inoculum required.

Abstract
Biological pretreatment can increase the methane production of anaerobic digestion. In this study, stover was pretreated via microbial consortium prior to anaerobic digestion; through 16S rRNA gene and 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and metatranscriptomic analysis, and the effects of the pretreatment on the microbial community and critical factors of the increased methane production were studied. Microbial community structure was less affected by the pretreatment, which ensures the stable performance of anaerobic digestion. The methane production increased by 62.85% at the peak phase compared to the untreated stover. The activity of Methanosaeta increased from 2.0% to 10.1%, significantly enhancing the ability of the community to capture acetic acid and reduce CO2 to methane. The main contribution to the increase in methane production was a unique acetyl-CoA synthetase, which showed significant up-regulation (121.8%). This research demonstrated the importance of Methanosaeta and its unique metabolic pathways in anaerobic digestion utilizing a biological pretreatment.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is recalcitrant due to its heterogeneous structure, which is one of the major limitations for its use as a feedstock for methane production. Although different pretreatment methods are being used, intermediaries formed are known to show adverse effect on microorganisms involved in methane formation. This review, apart from highlighting the efficiency and limitations of the different pretreatment methods from engineering, chemical, and biochemical point of views, will discuss the strategies to increase the carbon recovery in the form of methane by way of amending pretreatments to lower inhibitory effects on microbial groups and by optimizing process conditions.

Abstract
GY1, a novel microbial consortium with efficient ability to degrade decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) has been isolated and the sequencing analysis has been conducted. The results revealed that Hyphomicrobium, Pseudomonas, Aminobacter, Sphingopyxis, Chryseobacterium, Bacillus, Pseudaminobacter, Stenotrophomonas, Sphingobacterium and Microbacterium were the dominant genera, and the function genes involved in BDE-209 conversion were predicted by PICRUSt. When BDE-209 concentration increased from 0.5 to 10mg/L, its degradation efficiency declined from 57.2% to 22.3%. Various kinds of debrominated metabolites were detected during the biodegradation process, including BDE-208, BDE-207, BDE-206, BDE-205, BDE-190, BDE-181, BDE-155, BDE-154, BDE-99, BDE-47, BDE-17 and BDE-7. Also, the proportion of necrotic cells was observed during GY1 mediated degradation of BDE-209 to reveal the changes of cells viability under BDE-209 stress. Subsequent analysis showed that the reaction of BDE-209 with GY1 was a detoxification process and bioaugmentation with GY1 effectively enhanced BDE-209 degradation in actual water and water-sediment system.

Abstract
Two-phase anaerobic digestion of co-substrates is a promising process to alleviate environmental pollution, product valuable methane gas and renew energy. A modified anaerobic digestion model No. 1 (ADM1) was proposed to characterize the mesophilic two-phase anaerobic digestion at the feedstock ratios of waste activated sludge to corn silage 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, respectively. The sensitivity analysis of the modified ADM1 was operated on the platform AQUASIM 2.0 while the kinetic parameter estimation and simulation was implemented on the platform MATLAB 7.0. The Monod maximum specific uptake rate for acetate (km,ac) was calibrated to 29.0 d-1, and the half-saturation value for acetate (ks,ac) 0.40 kgCOD/m3 in the acidification phase while km,ac 35.0 d-1, Monod maximum specific uptake rate for hydrogen (km,h2) 23.0 d-1 and ks,ac 0.70 kgCOD/m3 in the methanogenic phase in the modified ADM1. The results from the batch tests showed the optimal feedstock ratio of waste activated sludge to corn silage was 2:1. Under this condition, chemical oxygen demand could reach the largest removal at around 51.0%, while Ammonia-nitrogen and total phosphorous increased by the maximal 192.0% and 71.5%. Besides, volatile fatty acids were lowest at about 0.27 kgCOD/m3, and the biogas flow was highest at about 47.6 mL/d. The pH values were always maintained at 6.8-7.2. Good agreements could be achieved between the measured data and the simulation with the modified ADM1. Therefore, the optimal and preferable operating factors during two-phase anaerobic digestion of co-substrates could be obtained from the simulation. The modified model will contribute to further investigating and predicting the characteristics of the process.

JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2019; 233:774-784. [PMID: 30314871 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2018.09.106] [Citation(s) in RCA: 82] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2018] [Revised: 09/07/2018] [Accepted: 09/30/2018] [Indexed: 05/25/2023]
Abstract
The rapid depletion of natural resources and the environmental concerns associated with the use of fossil fuels as the main source of global energy is leading to an increased interest in alternative and renewable energy sources. Particular interest has been given to the lignocellulosic biomass as the most abundant source of organic matter with a potential of being utilized for energy recovery. Different approaches have been applied to convert the lignocellulosic biomass to energy products including anaerobic digestion (AD), fermentation, combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. The AD process has been proven as an effective technology for converting organic material into energy in the form of methane-rich biogas. However, the complex structure of the lignocellulosic biomass comprised of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin hinders the ability of microorganisms in an AD process to degrade and convert these compounds to biogas. Therefore, a pretreatment step is essential to improve the degradability of the lignocellulosic biomass to achieve higher biogas rate and yield. A system that uses pretreatment and AD is known as advanced AD. Several pretreatment methods have been studied over the past few years including physical, thermal, chemical and biological pretreatment. This paper reviews the enzymatic pretreatment as one of the biological pretreatment methods which has received less attention in the literature than the other pretreatment methods. This paper includes a review of lignocellulosic biomass composition, AD process, challenges in degrading lignocellulosic materials, the current status of research to improve the biogas rate and yield from the AD of lignocellulosic biomass via enzymatic pretreatment, and the future trend in research for the reduction of enzymatic pretreatment cost.

Abstract
Impacts of adding different amounts of cow manure (CM) on the anaerobic digestion (AD) of oat straw (OS) with total solids content (TS) values of 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% was assessed over 50 days using batch experiments. A modified Gompertz model was introduced to predict the methane yield and determine the kinetic parameters. The optimum addition was a 1:2 ratio of CM to the OS added, which resulted in a suitable C/N ratio of 27 and a higher degradation rate of lignocellulose. The best cumulative methane yield of 841.77 mL/g volatile solids added (VSadded) was 26.64% greater than that of digesting OS alone. In addition, the amount of CM added produced larger effects than that of changes in the TS. However, higher CM concentrations were found to be inhibitory. Clustering analysis could provide significant guidance for demonstrating project process and combining farming and animal husbandry.

Abstract
The major obstacle of methane production from lignocellulose lies in the inefficient deconstruction of biomass. In this study, an anaerobic microbial consortium TC-5 was enriched with high lignocellulose-degradation capacity to enhance methane production from wheat straw. High degradation ratio of 45.7% of un-pretreated wheat straw was achieved due to a multi-species lignocellulolytic enzyme presented in the crude culture supernatant. The specific activity of xylanase, xylan esterase and β-xylosidase reached the highest level of 4.23, 0.15 and 0.48 U/mg, while cellobiohydrolase, endoglucanase and β-glucosidase showed the highest specific activity of 0.36, 0.22 and 0.41 U/mg during 9 days' degradation. Inoculation of TC-5 in digestion sludge during anaerobic digestion of wheat straw resulted in remarkable enhancement of 22.2% and 36.6% in methane yield under mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, respectively. This work demonstrates the potential of TC-5 for enhancing the production of biogas and other chemicals through biomass based biorefinery.

Abstract
In north China, large amounts of excessively wilted maize stover are produced annually. Maize stover wet storage strategies and subsequent biogas production was examined in this study. Firstly, wet storage performances of harvested maize stover, air-dried for different time durations, were evaluated. Results showed that optimal storage performance was obtained when the initial water soluble carbohydrate (WSC) content after air-drying was higher than 8.0%. Therefore, cellulase and glucose were added to the excessively wilted maize stover to achieve the targeted pre-storage WSC levels. Good storage performances were observed in treatments with addition of 76.4 g/kg DM glucose and 12.5 g/kg DM of cellulase; the specific methane yield increased by 23.7% and 19.2%, respectively. However, use of glucose as additive or co-storing with high WSC substrates can serve as economically feasible options to adapt wet storage of excessively wilted maize stover.

Abstract
China is the largest cotton producer with the cotton output accounting for 25% of the total world's cotton production. A large quantity of cotton stalk (CS) waste is generated which is burned and causes environmental and ecological problems. This study investigated the anaerobic digestibility of CS by focusing on improving the methane yield by applying central composite design of response surface methodology (RSM). The purpose of this study was to determine the best level of factors to optimize the desired output of methane production from CS. Thus, it was necessary to describe the relationship of many individual variables with one or more response values for the effective utilization of CS. The influences of feed to inoculum (F/I) ratio and organic loading (OL) on methane production were investigated. Results showed that the experimental methane yield (EMY) and volatile solid (VS) removal were calculated to be 70.22 mL/gVS and 14.33% at F/I ratio of 0.79 and organic loading of 25.61 gVS/L, respectively. Characteristics of final effluent showed that the anaerobic system was stable. This research laid a foundation for future application of CS to alleviate the problems of waste pollution and energy output.

Abstract
China produces large amount of cotton stalk (CS) residues as agricultural biomass, which are incinerated on-site, causing air pollution. The high organic content of CS could be utilized for biogas production, but the direct digestion without pretreatment always leads to a low methane yield and biodegradability, due to the complicated structure of lignocellulose. In order to search best fitting pretreatment methods in effective anaerobic digestion (AD) of CS, effects of various pretreatments including KOH, NaOH, Ca(OH)2, alkali hydrogen peroxide (AHP), H2SO4, H3PO4 and steam explosion (SE) were studied. It was seen that all treatments resulted in varying methane yields. Among all the pretreatments, acid pretreatment is not suitable for AD of CS. The results showed that the highest cumulative methane yield (CMY) of 192.4 mL·gVS−1 was obtained after 3% AHP pretreatment of CS, and the methane yield improved by 254.3% than the untreated CS. Therefore, AHP treatment was proven to be an efficient pretreatment technique. XRD and FTIR analyses had shown that pretreated CS had favorable structural changes. This research is beneficial in developing environment friendly and cost-effective pretreatment technologies to utilize CS for methane production in future application.

Abstract
Genetically modified (GM) cotton production generates a large yield of stalks and their disposal is difficult. In order to study the feasibility of using GM cotton stalks for composting and the changes that occur in antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during composting, we supplemented pig manure with GM or non-GM cotton stalks during composting and we compared their effects on the absolute abundances (AA) of intI1, intI2, and ARGs under the two treatments. The compost was mature after processing based on the germination index and C/N ratio. After composting, the AAs of ARGs, intI1, and intI2 were reduced by 41.7% and 45.0% in the non-GM and GM treatments, respectively. The ARG profiles were affected significantly by temperature and ammonia nitrogen. In addition, excluding tetC, GM cotton stalks had no significant effects on ARGs, intI1, and intI2 compared with the non-GM treatment (p < 0.05). Thus, similar to non-GM cotton stalks, GM cotton stalks can be used for aerobic composting with livestock manure, and the AAs of ARGs can be reduced. Furthermore, the results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the harmless utilization of GM cotton stalks.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant renewable bioresource on earth. In lignocellulosic biomass, the cellulose and hemicellulose are bound with lignin and other molecules to form a complex structure not easily accessible to microbial degradation. Anaerobic digestion (AD) of lignocellulosic biomass with a focus on improving hydrolysis, the rate limiting step in AD of lignocellulosic feedstocks, has received considerable attention. This review highlights challenges with AD of lignocellulosic biomass, factors contributing to its recalcitrance, and natural microbial ecosystems, such as the gastrointestinal tracts of herbivorous animals, capable of performing hydrolysis efficiently. Biological strategies that have been evaluated to enhance hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass include biological pretreatment, co-digestion, and inoculum selection. Strategies to further improve these approaches along with future research directions are outlined with a focus on linking studies of microbial communities involved in hydrolysis of lignocellulosics to process engineering.

Abstract
Silage processing has a crucial positive impact on the methane yield of anaerobic treated substrates. Changes in the characteristics of switchgrass after ensiling with different additives and their effects on methane production and microbial community changes during anaerobic digestion were investigated. After ensiling (CK), methane yield was increased by 33.59% relative to that of fresh switchgrass (FS). In comparison with the CK treatment, methane production was improved by 17.41%, 13.08% and 8.72% in response to ensiling with LBr+X, LBr and X, respectively. A modified Gompertz model predicted that the optimum treatment was LBr+X, with a potential cumulative methane yield of 178.31mL/g total solids (TS) and a maximum biogas production rate of 44.39mL/g TS·d. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the predominant bacteria in FS and silage switchgrass; however, the switchgrass treated with LBr+X was rich in Synergistetes, which was crucial for methane production.

Abstract
We constructed a novel thermophilic microbial consortium, TADC7, with stable and efficient aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) degradation activity. The microbial consortium degraded more than 95% of the toxin within 72h when cultured with AFB1, and the optimum temperature was 55-60°C. TADC7 tolerated high doses of AFB1, with no inhibitory effects up to 5000μgL-1 AFB1; moreover, the degradation kinetics fit well with the Monod model. The proteins or enzymes in the TADC7 cell-free supernatant played a major role in AFB1 degradation. AFB1 degradation by the cell-free supernatant was stable up to 90°C, with an optimal pH of 8-10. We performed 16S rRNA sequencing to determine TADC7 community structure dynamics; the results indicated that Geobacillus and Tepidimicrobium played major roles in AFB1 degradation.

Abstract
Silage efficiency is crucial for corn stalk storage in methane production. This study investigated characteristics of dynamic changes in materials and microbes during the silage process of corn stalks from the initial to stable state. We conducted laboratory-scale study of different silage corn stalks, and optimized silage time (0, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30days) for methane production and the endogenous microbial community. The volatile fatty acid concentration increased to 3.00g/L on Day 10 from 0.42g/L on Day 0, and the pH remained below 4.20 from 5.80. The lactic acid concentration (44%) on Day 10 lowered the pH and inhibited the methane yield, which gradually decreased from 229mL/g TS at the initial state (Day 0, 2) to 207mL/g TS at the stable state (Day 10, 20, 30). Methanosaeta was the predominant archaea in both fresh and silage stalks; however, richness decreased from 14.11% to 4.75%.

Wei S. The application of biotechnology on the enhancing of biogas production from lignocellulosic waste. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2016; 100:9821-9836. [PMID: 27761635 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-016-7926-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2016] [Revised: 10/02/2016] [Accepted: 10/05/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic waste is considered to be an efficient way to answer present-day energy crisis and environmental challenges. However, the recalcitrance of lignocellulosic material forms a major obstacle for obtaining maximum biogas production. The use of biological pretreatment and bioaugmentation for enhancing the performance of anaerobic digestion is quite recent and still needs to be investigated. This paper reviews the status and perspectives of recent studies on biotechnology concept and investigates its possible use for enhancing biogas production from lignocellulosic waste with main emphases on biological pretreatment and bioaugmentation techniques.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2016; 216:699-705. [PMID: 27289062 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2016.06.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2016] [Revised: 05/31/2016] [Accepted: 06/01/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Using microbial community MC1 to pretreat lignocellulosic materials increased the yield of biogas production, and the substrate did not need to be sterilized, lowering the cost. Rotted silage maize straw carries many microbes. To determine whether such contamination affects MC1, rotted silage maize straw was pretreated with MC1 prior to biogas production. The decreases in the weights of unsterilized and sterilized rotted silage maize straw were similar, as were their carboxymethyl cellulase activities. After 5d pretreatment, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction results indicated that the proportions of five key strains in MC1 were the same in the unsterilized and sterilized groups; thus, MC1 was resistant to microbial contamination. However, its resistance to contamination decreased as the degradation time increased. Following pretreatment, volatile fatty acids, especially acetic acid, were detected, and MC1 enhanced biogas yields by 74.7% compared with the untreated group.
