Mitigating the risk of antibiotic resistance and pathogenic bacteria in swine waste: The role of ectopic fermentation beds. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2025; 492:138221. [PMID: 40220395 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2025.138221] [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: 01/09/2025] [Revised: 03/21/2025] [Accepted: 04/07/2025] [Indexed: 04/14/2025]
Abstract
The ectopic fermentation bed (EFB) is used to recycle animal waste, but the fate and dynamic change of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) with biocide or heavy metal resistance genes (B/MRGs) and pathogens remain unclear. We performed metagenomic sequencing on 129 samples to study the resistome and bacteriome in pig feces from 24 farms, comparing these profiles with EFBs from five farms, and one farm's EFB was monitored for 154 days. Results showed pig feces from different cities (Chengdu, Meishan, and Chongqing) shared 284 of 311 ARG subtypes, with over 70 % being high-risk ARGs, and 106 of 114 pathogenic bacteria. Swine farms were heavily contaminated with co-occurrences of risky ARGs, B/MRGs, and pathogenic hosts, particularly Escherichia coli and Streptococcus suis being hosts of multidrug ARGs. The application of EFBs markedly mitigated these risks in feces, showing a 3.09-fold decrease in high-risk ARGs, a 72.22 % reduction in B/MRGs, a 3.95-fold drop in prioritized pathogens, an 89.09 % decline in the relative abundance of pig pathogens, and a simplification of their correlation networks and co-occurrence patterns. A mantel analysis revealed that metal contents (Fe, Mn, and Cu) and time influenced pathogen and ARG profiles. Pathogens, ARGs, and risk ARGs exhibited periodic variations, peaking at days 14, 84, and 154, with 70-day intervals. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of the risks associated with pig feces and EFBs and demonstrates that EFBs reduce ARG risks by inhibiting their associations with B/MRGs and pathogens. These findings can help guide and improve the management of antimicrobial resistance and pathogenic contaminants in EFB applications to reduce environmental pollution.

Adding Fruit Fermentation Liquid Improves the Efficiency of the Black Soldier Fly in Converting Chicken Manure and Reshapes the Structure of Its Intestinal Microbial Community. INSECTS 2025; 16:472. [PMID: 40429185 PMCID: PMC12112220 DOI: 10.3390/insects16050472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2025] [Revised: 04/23/2025] [Accepted: 04/26/2025] [Indexed: 05/29/2025]
Abstract
This study evaluated how fruit fermentation liquid (FFL) enhances the conversion of chicken manure by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and modulates their gut microbiota. Three groups were tested: control (A: 300 g manure + 50 g water), low-dose FFL (B: 300 g manure + 25 g FFL + 25 g water), and high-dose FFL (C: 300 g manure + 50 g FFL). The results show that the dry matter conversion rate significantly increased by 9.5% (p < 0.05), while the feed-to-larvae ratio was reduced by 1.02 (p < 0.01) in group C. NH3 emissions in group C decreased by 24.48 mg·kg-1·DM (dry matter substrate) day-1 (24.48 mg per kilogram of dry matter substrate per day) (p < 0.01), with suppressed H2S release. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that FFL reduced the abundance of Proteobacteria (6.07% decrease in group C) while enriching Actinobacteriota (4.68% increase) and beneficial genera (Corynebacterium, Gallicola). Substrate microbial diversity in group C improved, with Proteobacteria and Firmicutes increasing by 11.07% and 4.83%, respectively, and pathogenic Sphingobacteriaceae declining by 21.16% by day 7. FFL likely introduced organic acids and nutrients, enhancing larval digestion and nutrient absorption while inhibiting the production of harmful gases. These findings demonstrate that FFL optimizes BSFL-driven waste conversion efficiency through modulation of the microbiota, offering a sustainable strategy for organic waste management and contributing to circular agricultural systems.

Insights into a Novel and Efficient Microbial Nest System for Treating Pig Farm Wastewater. Microorganisms 2025; 13:685. [PMID: 40142577 PMCID: PMC11946184 DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms13030685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2025] [Revised: 03/09/2025] [Accepted: 03/10/2025] [Indexed: 03/28/2025] Open
Abstract
A microbial nest system (MNS) represents a novel and efficient approach to treating solid-liquid mixtures from pig farming instead of the conventional method, which separates the solid and liquid at first using centrifugation before treating the solid and liquid. However, the key environmental factors influencing the efficiency of this system and the microbial structure are still not clear. This study aimed to elucidate the changes in an MNS considering physicochemical properties, spectral analysis, and correlations between microbial community structures and environmental factors during the treatment. The results showed that the MNS underwent three temperature stages during the treatment process of piggery slurry: a warming period, a high-temperature period, and a cooling period. In the high-temperature period, the most abundant bacterium was Bacillus, with a relative abundance of 22.16%, and Chaetomium dominated the fungal community with a relative abundance of 11.40%. Moreover, the moisture content, pH value, and electrical conductivity (EC) exhibited an increasing trend, whereas the carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio and the ratio of ammonia nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen (NH4+-N/NO3--N) showed a decreasing trend. The accumulation of humic acid and fulvic acid suggested that the humification process of organic matter was occurring. The moisture content and C/N ratio were identified as crucial factors influencing the bacterial and fungal community structures, respectively. This study provides a theoretical basis for enhancing the efficiency of piggery slurry treatment using an MNS and rational optimisation of the associated processes.

Front Vet Sci 2024; 11:1450241.

Abstract
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has been recognized as a serious health risk for ruminant animals. From a molecular perspective, indole-3-acid (IAA) possesses the potential to enhance the removal of AFB1 by rumen microbiota. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the impact of different concentrations of IAA on the removal of AFB1 by rumen microbiota using an in vitro technique. Experiment 1: interaction between AFB1 and rumen fermentation. Experiment 2: The study used a randomized design with five IAA levels (0, 15, 150, 1,500, and 7,500 mg/kg) to examine the effect of IAA on AFB1 removal and its impact on rumen fermentation. The results showed: (1) the content of AFB1 gradually decreased, removal rate of up to 75.73% after 24 h. AFB1 exposure altered the rumen fermentation pattern, with significantly decreased in the acetic acid/propionic acid ratio (p < 0.05). It significantly reduced the relative proportions of R. amylophilus, P. ruminicola, and F. succinogenes (p < 0.05). (2) As the content of IAA increased, AFB1 exposure decreased. A total of 15 and 150 mg/kg IAA significantly mitigated the negative impact of AFB1 on key rumen bacteria (R. amylophilus, P. ruminicola and F. succinogenes), increased acetate levels and acetate/propionate ratio (p < 0.05). However, 1,500 mg/kg IAA lowered levels of propionate and isovalerate, adversely affected enzyme activities (pectinase, xylan and Carboxymethyl-cellulase) and relative proportions of microbiota (R. flavefaciens, P. ruminicola and F. succinogenes). In conclusion, IAA significantly removed AFB1, and in the range of 150 mg/kg of IAA reduced the negative effects of AFB1 on in vitro fermentation characteristics and fermentation end-products.

Abstract
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) regulates plant behavior in both agricultural and environmental fields. However, the regulatory mechanisms by which DOM influences soil-plant system interactions during the phytoremediation of Cd-contaminated soils remain unclear. Therefore, this study investigated the enhanced effect of kitchen compost-derived DOM on the Cd remediation capability of ryegrass across three phases of phytoremediation. The main pathways and mechanisms of DOM-assisted phytoremediation were identified through the analysis of changes in soil microbial communities and metabolism functions. The results revealed that DOM increased the bioavailability of soil Cd and significantly enhanced the Cd enrichment capacity of ryegrass, regardless of the application rate. The application of 20 % DOM to soil with a 20 mg/kg Cd content increased the bioconcentration factors of ryegrass roots and shoots by up to 38.19 and 11.08 times, respectively, compared with the control group. The direct or indirect optimizing effects of DOM on Cd fraction transformation, microbial communities, and their metabolism functions significantly enhanced the Cd enrichment capacity of ryegrass. Notably, DOM exhibited dual effects on ryegrass growth, mainly influenced by changes in soil physicochemical properties, optimization of microbial communities, and alterations in nitrogen metabolic functions. Additionally, the Cd reserves in ryegrass, which serve as a vital indicator of phytoremediation, exhibited a positive response to DOM. This study provides insights into the various reinforcing roles of kitchen compost-derived DOM in Cd-contaminated soil phytoremediation. These findings support the development of effective agronomic strategies for precise Cd regulation.

Effective microorganism combinations improve the quality of compost-bedded pack products in heifer barns: exploring pack bacteria-fungi interaction mechanisms. BMC Microbiol 2024; 24:302. [PMID: 39134973 PMCID: PMC11321024 DOI: 10.1186/s12866-024-03447-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/29/2024] [Indexed: 08/15/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Compost-bedded pack barns (CBP) are getting huge attention as an alternative housing system for dairy cows due to their beneficial impact on animal welfare. Effective microorganisms (EM) inoculums are believed to enhance compost quality, improve soil structure and benefit the environment. However, little information is available on the impact of incubation with external EM combinations on the barn environment, compost quality and microbial diversity in CBP. This experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of inoculating different combinations of EM [Lactobacillus plantarum (L), Compound Bacillus (B) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S)] on compost quality and microbial communities of CBP products, as well as the relationship with the heifers' barn environment. CBP barns were subjected to the following four treatments: CON with no EM inoculum, LB/LS/LBS were Incubated with weight ratios of 1:2 (L: B), 1:2 (L: S), 1:1:1 (L: B: S), respectively. RESULTS The EM inoculation (LB, LS, LBS) reduced the concentration of respirable particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) in the CBP, and decreased the serum total protein and total cholesterol levels in heifers. Notably, LBS achieved the highest content of high-density lipoprotein compared to other treatments. Microbiome results revealed that EM inoculation reduced the bacterial abundance (Chao1 index) and fungal diversity (Shannon & Simpson indexes), while increasing the relative abundance of various bacterial genera (Pseudomonas, Paracoccus, Aequorivita) and fungi (Pestalotiopsis), which are associated with cellulose decomposition that ultimately resulted in accelerating organic matter degradation and humification. Furthermore, high nutrient elements (TK&TP) and low mycotoxin content were obtained with EM inoculation, with LBS showing a particularly pronounced effect. Meanwhile, LBS contributed to a decline in the proportion of fungal pathogen categories but also led to an increase in fungal saprotroph categories. CONCLUSION Generally, EM inoculation positively impacted compost product quality as organic fertilizer and barn environment by modifying the abundance of cellulolytic bacteria and fungi, while inhibiting the reproduction of pathogenic microbes, especially co-supplementing with L, B and S achieved an amplifying effect.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Penicillium oxalicum is an important fungal agent in the composting of cattle manure, but the changes that occur in the microbial community, physicochemical factors, and potential functions of microorganisms at different time points are still unclear. To this end, the dynamic changes occurring in the microbial community and physicochemical factors and their correlations during the composting of cattle manure with Penicillium oxalicum were analysed. RESULTS The results showed that the main phyla observed throughout the study period were Firmicutes, Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Halanaerobiaeota, Apicomplexa and Ascomycota. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) illustrated that Chitinophagales and Eurotiomycetes were biomarker species of bacteria and eukaryote in samples from Days 40 and 35, respectively. Bacterial community composition was significantly correlated with temperature and pH, and eukaryotic microorganism community composition was significantly correlated with moisture content and NH4+-N according to redundancy analysis (RDA). The diversity of the microbial communities changed significantly, especially that of the main pathogenic microorganisms, which showed a decreasing trend or even disappeared after composting. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, a combination of high-throughput sequencing and physicochemical analysis was used to identify the drivers of microbial community succession and the composition of functional microbiota during cattle manure composting with Penicillium oxalicum. The results offer a theoretical framework for explaining microecological assembly during cattle manure composting with Penicillium oxalicum.

Abstract
Highly acidic citrus pomace (CP) is a byproduct of Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae production and causes significant environmental damage. In this study, a newly isolated acid-tolerant strain of Serratia sp. JS-043 was used to treat CP and evaluate the effect of reduced acid citrus pomace (RACP) in passivating heavy metals. The results showed that biological treatment could remove 97.56% of citric acid in CP, the organic matter in the soil increased by 202.60% and the catalase activity in the soil increased from 0 to 0.117 U g-1. Adding RACP into soil can increase the stabilization of Cu, Zn, As, Co, and Pb. Specifically, through the metabolism of strain JS-043, RACP was also involved in the stabilization of Zn and Pb, and Residual Fraction in the total pool of these metals increased by 10.73% and 10.54%, respectively. Finally, the genome sequence of Serratia sp. JS-043 was completed, and the genetic basis of its acid-resistant and acid-reducing characteristics was preliminarily revealed. JS-043 also contains many genes encoding proteins associated with heavy metal ion tolerance and transport. These findings suggest that JS-043 may be a high-potential strain to improve the quality of acidic organic wastes that can then be useful for soil bioremediation.

Abstract
Intensive aquaculture production generates large amounts of sludge. This waste could be considered as a potential source of nutrients that can be recovered and utilized. Little attention has been paid to nutrient recovery from fish sludge. In this study, bioconversion of sludge was evaluated in lab scale under anaerobic (AN), facultative anaerobic (FA) and aerobic (AE) conditions. After 40 days of fermentation, AN recovered the highest values of dissolved total nitrogen (82.7 mg L-1), while AE showed the highest dissolved total phosphorus (11.8 mg L-1) and the highest reduction of total suspended solids (36.0 %). Microbial analysis showed that AN exhibited a distinct bacterial community than that of FA and AE. Furthermore, C. sorokiniana grown in AN effluents collected after 12 days of fermentation achieved the highest biomass production (1.96 g L-1). These results suggest that AN has the best potential to recover nutrients from sludge for production of C. sorokiniana.

Abstract
The role of protein shell (PS) amendment in altering the fungal community during pig manure (PM) composting was investigated. Six different dosages of PS based on the dry weight of PM (0 %, 2.5 %, 5 %, 7.5 %, 10 %, and 12 %; T1-T6, respectively) were mixed with wheat straw to make the initial feedstock and composted for 42 days. The results showed that Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Giomeromycota were the most abundant phyla in all treatments. However, the relative abundance of Giomeromycota was the highest in the control treatment, although a substantially greater population was observed in all treatments. Genus abundance declined steadily from T1 to T6; however, T4 and T6 had smaller populations. Correlation analysis also suggested that T6 amendment increased the overall fungal dynamics and organic matter degradation. Thus, T6 was more efficient to enhance the overall fungal population and dynamics with considerable network connections among all the analyzed parameters.

Abstract
Microplastics and perfluorooctanoic acid coexist in the aquatic environment. Duckweed was exposed to a range of concentrations (0.1-1000 μg L-1) of solutions containing polypropylene (PP) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) for 14 days to measure their toxicity. The result showed the single and combined PP and PFOA treatments did not significantly influence the growth of duckweed. The greatest PP and PFOA concentrations of combined pollution affect plant chlorophyll. Moreover, the combined treatment of duckweed consistently resulted in increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, indicating oxidative damage. As an antioxidant stress response, the combination-treated plants were encouraged to produce superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT). Meanwhile, 3519 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were identified in the duckweed rhizosphere. Proteobacteria was the most predominant microbial community. Shannon, Simpson, and Chao1 discovered that microbial communities changed in response to single and combination PP and PFOA treatments, with decreased diversity and increased abundance. In addition, SEM analysis also revealed that the combined treatment significantly phyllosphere microorganisms. The findings of this investigation add to our knowledge of how PP and PFOA affect duckweed and the rhizospheric microorganisms, expanding the theoretical basis for employing duckweed in complex contamination.

Abstract
Pig farming contributes to the economic development of nations and supplies human food demand; however, it generates a large amount of organic waste which, if not managed properly, becomes a risk to the environment and human and animal health. Considering the relevance of composting and its usefulness for the use of waste, this study aimed to determine the global trends in the management of composting manure, mortality and other organic waste produced on pig farms over the last five years (2017-2022). Systematic search involved four databases: ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Ebsco and Scielo. Of the total findings, 56 articles were included in the review, further classified into 14 categories for their respective analysis: co-substrates/additives, microbial communities, antibiotic resistance, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, microbiological/parasitological quality, phytopathogens, nitrogen transformation, bioinoculants, comparison/combination with other waste management techniques, factors affecting composting, swine mortality and plant growth promotion/phytotoxicity. The review exemplified the importance of swine mortality composting as an alternative for organic matter management in pig farms, considering that the process also includes manure, vegetable waste and wood chips, among others. Controlled factors throughout the process are a requirement to obtain a stable product with physicochemical and microbiological quality that complies with national and international regulations and that will be useful and safe for application on crops, ensuring environmental, animal, and human health.

Abstract
This study investigated the impacts of adding FeSO4 and biochar to cattle manure and rice straw composts on functional genes controlling nitrogen loss, bacterial community, nitrification, and denitrification. Four treatments were established, including a control group (CP), and CP mixtures that included 4% biochar (TG1), 4% FeSO4 (TG2), or 2% FeSO4 and 2% biochar (TG3). Compared to CP, TG1-3 had a lower total nitrogen loss rate, and TG3 resulted in reduced NH3 (52.4%) and N2O (35.6%) emissions to mitigate nitrogen loss. The abundance of amoA and narG gene in TG3 was higher than in the other groups, and TG3 was beneficial to the growth of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria. According to redundancy and Pearson analysis, TG3 had a positive effect on the nitrification process by increasing the abundance of amoA and narG. Thus, biochar and FeSO4 addition mitigate nitrogen loss by regulating the nitrification processes.

Abstract
Effectively reduce antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in ectopic fermentation system (EFS) is essential for practical production. In this study, three experiments were performed to explore how to remove ARGs in EFS effectively. Results demonstrated that ARGs were easily enriched in rice-husk-sawdust padding; simultaneous addition of laccase and cellulase suppressed the ARGs, mainly by increasing soluble carbohydrate concentration and promoting humic acid concentration; addition of corn stalks into rice-husk-sawdust decreased the abundance of ARGs by improving the carbon source structure and enhancing cellulase activity. In conclusion, the present study provides a guidance to reduce the threat of ARGs in EFS, which paved a potential pathway to safely utilize manure resources.

Abstract
The by-product from the anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW) called the digestate (DFW) needs proper disposal because of its high environmental burden. Composting can transform DFW into a nutrient-containing soil improver via a series of microbial metabolic activities. However, the long composting time and high amount of ammonia emission are the key concerns of DFW composting. In the present study, the effect of DFW-derived biochar (BC-DFW) on microbial succession and its involvement in nitrogen transformation and humification during DFW composting were investigated. The results indicated that the BC-DFW accelerated bacterial and fungal evolution, and the bacterial diversity was augmented by increasing the amount of BC-DFW. In particular, Cryomorpha, Castellaniella, Aequorivita, and Moheibacter were enriched by the addition of BC-DFW, thereby enhancing the degradation of organic matter and nitrogen transformation and increasing the germination index. The group with 25% BC-DFW contained a higher relative abundance of Cryomorpha (2.08%, 2.47%) than the control (0.39%, 1.72%) on days 19 and 35 which benefited the degradation of organic matter. The group with 25% BC-DFW quickly enhanced the growth of Nitrosomonas, thereby accelerating the conversion of ammonium-nitrogen to nitrate-nitrogen and reducing the phytotoxicity of the composting product.

Abstract
Due to high concentration of organic matter and the ease of disease transmission, blackwater pose a serious threat to both the environment and human health, especially in rural areas where wastewater treatment is dispersed. The reuse of biomass waste is also a difficult issue to be addressed urgently. In this study, an ectopic fermentation system (EFS) was used to treat toilet blackwater, and the effects of different biomass waste combinations on bacterial communities and functions during aerobic fermentation of blackwater were compared. The results showed that adding bran powder prolonged the high temperature period of 11 d, improved blackwater absorption capacity by 7.5% and was beneficial to microbial metabolic activities to enhance organic degradation. By contrast, the combination of corn straw and rice husk obtained abundant bacterial OTUs and diversity. Bacillus, Thermobifida and Thermopolyspora were the main microorganisms involved in the degradation of organic matter in EFS, and their abundance varied in different filler combinations. Bacterial communities were directly affected by environmental factors such as temperature, NH4+-N and organic carbon as well as biomass materials during fermentation. This study revealed the role of corn straw, rice husk and bran powder in EFSs, provided new technical support for blackwater treatment and a new direction for the resource utilization of agricultural biomass waste.

Abstract
Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets. Resource-saving and environmentally friendly industrial structures, production, and living modes are pursued continuously for sustainable ecological development. According to the Second National Pollution-Source Survey, agricultural non-point pollution is still the most important source of the current water pollution. In order to improve the water environment and control the pollution, the meaning and content of the eco-agricultural industrial chain was introduced. Based on this conception, the eco-agricultural industrial chain, integrating a whole circular system with different sessions of crop farming, animal breeding, agricultural product processing, and rural living, was innovatively put forward to control the agricultural non-point pollution and protect the water environment systematically for the first time in this paper. The sustainable development was realized at a large scale from the reduction and harmlessness at the source, resource utilization in the process, and ecological restoration in the end. Core techniques were innovated based on the integration of agricultural industries to achieve the high-quality and green development of agriculture. The system included ecological breeding technologies, ecological cultivation technologies, as well as rural sewage treatment and recycling technologies, in the principle of reduce, reuse, and resource. Based on this, the agricultural production changed from the traditional mode of "resources-products-wastes" to the circulation pattern of "resources-products-renewable resources-products". Thus, the final aim could be achieved to realize the material's multilevel use and energy conversion in the system. The eco-agricultural industrial chain technology was proven to be efficient to achieve both the good control of agricultural non-point pollution and an effective improvement in the water quality.

Abstract
Co-composting of forest residues (FR) with cattle manure (CM) results in a low nitrogen (N) conversion efficiency, a low organic matter (OM) degradation rate, and a low quality compost product. This study evaluated the effects of addition of bone charcoal (BC), pumice (PM), or straw biochar (SB) at a ratio of 10 % (w/w) on the co-composting of FR with CM. The highest quality compost was obtained with addition of 10 % PM. Compared with the control (without any additive), PM addition increased the OM degradation rate, the nitrate-N, the available phosphorus, and the available potassium by 25 %, 110 %, 24 %, and 9 %, respectively, and increased the relative abundance of bacteria (Planomicrobium, Flavobacterium, and Pseudomonas) involved in lignocellulose degradation and N transformation. With the addition of PM, the co-composting of FR with CM generated a high quality, useful product in only 39 days.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to interactions with variety of environmental and physicochemical factors, the composition and diversity of bacteria and fungi in manure ectopic fermentation are constantly changing. The purpose of this study was to investigated bacterial and fungal changes in dairy manure ectopic fermentation, as well as the relationships between keystone species and physicochemical characteristics. METHODS Ectopic fermentation was carried out for 93 days using mattress materials, which was combined with rice husk and rice chaff (6:4, v/v), and dairy waste mixed with manure and sewage. Physicochemical characteristics (moisture content, pH, NH4+-N (NN), total organic carbon (TO), total nitrogen (TN) and the C/N ratio) of ectopic fermentation samples were measured, as well as enzymatic activity (cellulose, urease, dehydrogenase and alkaline phosphatase). Furthermore, the bacterial and fungal communities were studied using 16S rRNA and 18S rRNA gene sequencing, as well as network properties and keystone species were analyzed. RESULTS During the ectopic fermentation, the main pathogenic bacteria reduced while fecal coliform increased. The C/N ratio gradually decreased, whereas cellulase and dehydrogenase remained at lower levels beyond day 65, indicating fermentation maturity and stability. During fermentation, the dominant phyla were Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Actinobacteria of bacteria, and Ascomycota of fungi, while bacterial and fungal community diversity changed dramatically and inversely. The association between physicochemical characteristics and community keystone taxon was examined, and C/N ratio was negative associated to keystone genus. CONCLUSION These data indicated that microbial composition and diversity interacted with fermentation environment and parameters, while regulation of keystone species management of physicochemical factors might lead to improved maturation rate and quality during dairy manure ectopic fermentation. These findings provide a reference to enhance the quality and efficiency of waste management on dairy farm.

Abstract
The secondary fermentation stage is critical for stabilizing composting products and producing various secondary metabolites. However, the low metabolic rate of mesophilic bacteria is regarded as the rate-limiting stage in composting process. In present study, two indoleacetic acid (IAA)-producing bacteria (Bacillus safensis 33C and Corynebacterium stationis subsp. safensis 29B) were inoculated to strengthen the secondary fermentation stage to improve the plant-growth promoting potential of composting products. The results showed that the addition of IAA-producing bacteria promoted the assimilation of soluble salt, the condensation and aromatization of humus, and the accumulation of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The bioaugmentation strategy also enabled faster microbial community succession during the medium-late phase of secondary fermentation. However, the colonization of Bacillus and Corynebacterium could not explain the disproportionate increase of IAA yield, which reached up to 5.6 times compared to the control group. Deeper analysis combined with physicochemical properties and microbial community structure suggested that IAA-producing bacteria might induce the increase of salinity, which enriched halotolerant bacteria capable of producing IAA, such as Halomonas, Brachybacterium and Flavobacterium. In addition, the results also proved that it was necessary to shorten secondary fermentation time to avoid IAA degradation without affecting composting maturity. In summary, enhancing secondary fermentation of composting via adding proper IAA-producing bacteria is an efficient strategy for upgrading the quality of organic fertilizer.

Abstract
Due to its high amount of organic and biodegradable components that can be recycled, biowaste is not only a major cause of environmental contamination, but also a vast store of useful materials. The transformation of biowaste into energy and resources via biorefinery is an unavoidable trend, which could aid in reducing carbon emissions and alleviating the energy crisis in light of dwindling energy supplies and mounting environmental difficulties related with solid waste. In addition, the current pandemic and the difficult worldwide situation, with their effects on the economic, social, and environmental aspects of human life, have offered an opportunity to promote the transition to greener energy and sources. In this context, the current advancements and possible trends of utilizing widely available biowaste to produce key biofuels (such as biogas and biodiesel) and resources (such as organic acid, biodegradable plastic, protein product, biopesticide, bioflocculant, and compost) are studied in this review. To achieve the goal of circular bioeconomy, it is necessary to turn biowaste into high-value energy and resources utilizing biological processes. In addition, the usage of recycling technologies and the incorporation of bioconversion to enhance process performance are analyzed critically. Lastly, this work seeks to reduce a number of enduring obstacles to the recycling of biowaste for future use in the circular economy. Although it could alleviate the global energy issue, additional study, market analysis, and finance are necessary to commercialize alternative products and promote their future use. Utilization of biowaste should incorporate a comprehensive approach and a methodical style of thinking, which can facilitate product enhancement and decision optimization through multidisciplinary integration and data-driven techniques.

Abstract
The reuse of human wastes as biofertilizer resources offers a new option for meeting the growing demand for food and addressing poor soil productivity. Feces and black water are ubiquitous human wastes that usually require proper treatment, such as composting and anaerobic digestion, to remove potentially harmful substances before they can be applied as fertilizers. As an effective treatment technology for livestock farming wastes, the ectopic fermentation bed system (EFS) provides a new means of treating human waste and producing organic fertilizer from decomposed filler. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the nutrient content and fertilizer potential of decomposed fillers obtained after EFS treatment of human feces and black water under different application conditions. The results showed that the application of fillers increased the yield of pakchoi by 3.60⁓29.32% and nutrient uptake by 8.09⁓83.45% compared to the CK, which could effectively promote the growth of pakchoi. This approach also improved the quality of pakchoi and enhanced soil fertility, and differences were observed in the effects of different kinds and application amounts of fillers. Soil EC was the soil property that had the greatest effect on the growth characteristics of pakchoi in this study. These findings help to better clarify the agronomic value of human wastes, but the effects of long-term filler application need to be further explored.

Abstract
The combined contamination of heavy metals and microplastics is widespread in freshwater environments. However, there are few researches on their combined effects on aquatic plants. In this study, the effects of single and combined stress of 0.01 mg L-1 cadmium (Cd), 50 mg L-1 polyethylene and 50 mg L-1 polypropylene for 15 days on the physiological response, ultrastructure and rhizosphere microbial community of duckweed were investigated. The results showed that Cd and microplastics single or combined stress inhibited the growth of duckweed, shortened the root length and decreased the chlorophyll content. Compared with single Cd treatments, the combination of microplastics and Cd increased duckweed growth rate and increased superoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde content and reduced chloroplast structural damage, indicating that the combined stress could reduce the toxicity of heavy metals to duckweed. Through the study of rhizosphere microbial diversity, 1381 Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTUs) were identified and rich microbial communities were detected in the duckweed rhizosphere. Among them, the main microbial communities were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, and Cyanobacteria. Compared with Cd single stress, the ACE and chao index of rhizosphere microbial community increased under combined stress, indicating that the diversity and abundance of microbial communities were improved after combined stress treatment. Our study revealed the effects of heavy metals and microplastics on aquatic plants, providing a theoretical basis for duckweed applications in complex water pollution.

Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the response characteristics of N2O emission, enzyme activities, and functional gene abundances involved in nitrification/denitirification process with biochar and biogas residue amendments during rice straw composting. The results revealed that N2O release mainly occurred during the second fermentation phase. Biogas residue amendment promoted N2O emission, while biochar addition decreased its emission by 33.6%. The nirK gene was abundant through composting process. Biogas residues increased the abundance of denitrification genes, resulting in further release of N2O. Biochar enhanced nosZ gene abundance and accelerated the reduction of N2O. Nitrate reductase (NR), nitrite reductase (NiR), N2O reductase (N2OR), and ammonia monooxygenase (AMO) activities were greatly stimulated by biochar or biogas residue rather than their combined addition. Pearson regression analysis indicated that N2O emission negatively correlated with ammonium and positively correlated with nosZ, nirK, 18S rDNA, total nitrogen, and nitrate (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Ectopic fermentation system (EFS) is an effective technology for treating mass livestock manure. However, the associations between microbial communities and substance transformation remain controversial. This study aimed to investigate chicken manure EFS lasting 170 days using 16S rRNA sequencing and electrochemical, spectroscopic, and chromatographic analyses. The results showed a noticeable transformation of protein-like substances into humus-like substances. Meanwhile, the electron–accepting capacity increased persistently, effectively reflecting the humification of organic substances. The contents of phenols that promoted electron transfer continued to increase from 2.80 to 6.00%, which could be used as a maturity indicator for EFS. During the heating period, the dominant microbial communities were Chloroflexi and Proteobacteria, whereas thermotolerant bacteria Cyanobacteria and Planctomycetes were significantly enriched from 1.64 to 50.15% during the continuous thermophilic period of EFS. The correlation analysis manifested that these thermotolerant bacteria were the major functional bacteria for the formation of phenols and the key to driving the humification of organic substances. This study provides insights into understanding the humification mechanisms and implementing regulatory strategies in EFS.

Abstract
In this study, we explored the pathways and mechanisms of nitrogen (N) transformation driven by functional microbes carrying key genes in an ex situ fermentation system (EFS). Temperature and N content were found to be the most important factors driving variation in bacterial and fungal communities, respectively; Bacillus became the most abundant bacteria and Batrachochytrium became the most abundant fungi. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that some bacteria including Halomonas, Truepera, and Gemmatimonas species carry genes that promote mineralization, nitrification, dissimilatory/assimilatory nitrate reduction, denitrification, anammox reactions, and N fixation. The maximum rate of total mineralization reached 136.60 μg N g-1 d-1. Functional microbes promoted various N conversion processes at different rates in the EFS, with levels increasing by at least 0.23 μg N g-1 d-1. These results provide a theoretical basis for feasible optimization measures to address N loss during fermentation.

Abstract
Tylosin fermentation residues (TFR) pose an ecotoxicological risk through antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARBs) and their corresponding genes (ARGs). This study evaluated the ecotoxicity of TFR to soil biological activity, and further explored the mechanisms of vermicomposting to reduce the toxicological risk. The results showed that tylosin (TYL) was moderately degradable with a half-life (t1/2) of 37.5 d, inducing 28-44% inhibition rate of nitrogen transformation in soil, and the EC50 of earthworm avoidance was 880 mg/kg. The 30-d vermicomposting reduced the pH and OM content, while increased the EC and TN content, accelerated compost maturation (C/N ratio up to 20), and enriched the microbial community. ARGs were reduced by earthworm through removal of TYL (>70% degradation, t1/2 of <20 d), inhibiting abundance of intI1 and ARBs. We conclude that vermicomposting is an efficient method for TFR treatment and its eco-risk management.

Abstract
Here, we investigated the impact of different turning frequency (TF) on dynamic changes of N fractions, NH3 emission and bacterial/archaeal community during chicken manure composting. Compared to higher TF (i.e., turning every 1 or 3 days in CMS1 or CMS3 treatments, respectively), lower TF (i.e., turning every 5 or 7 days in CMS5 or CMS7 treatments, respectively) decreased NH3 emission by 11.42-18.95%. Compared with CMS1, CMS3 and CMS7 treatments, the total nitrogen loss of CMS5 decreased by 38.03%, 17.06% and 24.76%, respectively. Ammonia oxidizing bacterial/archaeal (AOB/AOA) communities analysis revealed that the relative abundance of Nitrosospira and Nitrososphaera was higher in lower TF treatment during the thermophilic and cooling stages, which could contribute to the reduction of NH3 emission. Thus, different TF had a great influence on NH3 emission and microbial community during composting. It is practically feasible to increase the abundance of AOB/AOA through adjusting TF and reduce NH3 emission the loss of nitrogen during chicken manure composting.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of garbage enzyme (GE), pelelith (PL), and biochar (BC) on nitrogen (N) conservation, nitrogenase (Nase) and N-fixing bacteria during the composting of sewage sludge. Results showed that the addition of GE, PL, and BC reduced NH3 emissions by 40.9%, 29.3%, and 67.4%, and increased the NO3-N contents of the end compost by 161.4, 88.2, and 105.8% relative to control, respectively, thus increasing the TN content. Three additives improved Nase, cellulase, and fluorescein diacetate hydrolase (FDA) activities and the abundances of nifH gene, and the largest increase was BC, followed by PL and GE. In addition, the additives also markedly influenced the succession of N-fixing bacteria, and significantly increased the abundance of Proteobacteria during the whole process. The BC and PL additions strengthened the sensitivity of N-fixing bacteria to environmental variables, and FDA, TN, moisture content, and NO3-N significantly affected the N-fixing bacteria at genus level.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2021; 769:144712. [PMID: 33465630 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.144712] [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: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 12/08/2020] [Accepted: 12/20/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Dairy farms produce considerable quantities of nutrient-rich effluent, which is generally stored before use as a soil amendment. Unfortunately, a portion of the dairy effluent N can be lost through volatilization during open pond storage to the atmosphere. Adding of covering materials to effluent during storage could increase contact with NH4+ and modify effluent pH, thereby reducing NH3 volatilization and retaining the effluent N as fertilizer for crop application. Here the mitigation effect of cover materials on ammonia (NH3) volatilization from open stored effluents was measured. A pilot-scale study was conducted using effluent collected at the Youran Dairy Farm Company Limited, Luhe County, Jiangsu, China, from 15 June to 15 August 2019. The study included seven treatments: control without amendment (Control), 30-mm × 25-mm corn cob pieces (CC), light expanded clay aggregate - LECA (CP), lactic acid (LA) and lactic acid plus CC (CCL), CP (CPL) or 20-mm plastic balls (PBL). The NH3 emission from the Control treatment was 120.1 g N m-2, which was increased by 38.1% in the CP treatment, possibly due to increased effluent pH. The application of CC reduced NH3 loss by 69.2%, compared with the Control, possibly due to high physical resistance, adsorption of NH4+ and effluent pH reduction. The lactic acid amendment alone and in combination with other materials also reduced NH3 volatilization by 27.4% and 31.0-46.7%, respectively. After 62 days of storage, effluent N conserved in the CC and CCL treatments were 21.0% and 22.0% higher than that in the Control (P < 0.05). Our results suggest that application of corn cob pieces, alone or in combination with lactic acid, as effluent cover could effectively mitigate NH3 volatilization and retain N, thereby enhancing the fertilizer value of the stored dairy effluent and co-applied as a soil amendment after two months open storage.
