Abstract
This article presents future trends in research using microbiological methods to intensify bioprocesses for biogas production. The pretreatment by combinations of physical and chemical methods, such as cavitation and electrolysis, is considered. The approach of the article involved reviewing the residual area on the intensification technologies of anaerobic digestion with current methods to improve the quality and quantity of biogas. The most valuable reported positive results of the pretreatment of biological raw materials in the cavitation process were reviewed and are presented here. A model of the effect of electrolysis on the species diversity of bacteria in anaerobic digestion was developed, and changes in the dominance of the ecological and trophic systems were revealed on the basis of previous studies. The stimulating effect on biogas yield, reduction in the stabilization period of the reactor, and inactivation of microorganisms at lower temperatures is associated with different pretreatment methods that intensify anaerobic digestion. More research is recommended to focus on the electrolysis treatment of different types of waste and their ratios with optimization of regime parameters, as well as in combination with other pretreatments to produce biomethane and biohydrogen in larger quantities and in better qualities.

PHYTOCHEMISTRY REVIEWS : PROCEEDINGS OF THE PHYTOCHEMICAL SOCIETY OF EUROPE 2022; 22:1-26. [PMID: 35250414 PMCID: PMC8889523 DOI: 10.1007/s11101-022-09805-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2021] [Accepted: 01/19/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
Algal biomass is a promising feedstock for sustainable production of a range of value-added compounds and products including food, feed, fuel. To further augment the commercial value of algal metabolites, efficient valorization methods and biorefining channels are essential. Algal extracts are ideal sources of biotechnologically viable compounds loaded with anti-microbial, anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous and several therapeutic and restorative properties. Emerging technologies in biomass valorisation tend to reduce the significant cost burden in large scale operations precisely associated with the pre-treatment, downstream processing and waste management processes. In order to enhance the economic feasibility of algal products in the global market, comprehensive extraction of multi-algal product biorefinery is envisaged as an assuring strategy. Algal biorefinery has inspired the technologists with novel prospectives especially in waste recovery, carbon concentration/sequestration and complete utilisation of the value-added products in a sustainable closed-loop methodology. This review critically examines the latest trends in the algal biomass valorisation and the expansive feedstock potentials in a biorefinery perspective. The recent scope dynamics of algal biomass utilisation such as bio-surfactants, oleochemicals, bio-stimulants and carbon mitigation have also been discussed. The existing challenges in algal biomass valorisation, current knowledge gaps and bottlenecks towards commercialisation of algal technologies are discussed. This review is a comprehensive presentation of the road map of algal biomass valorisation techniques towards biorefinery technology. The global market view of the algal products, future research directions and emerging opportunities are reviewed.

Abstract
Dairy wastewater is characterized by high concentration of organic compounds and is commonly used for energy production. Methods for enhancement of biogas production include application of magnetizers on the digester to induce static magnetic field (SMF). The study aimed at investigation of Bacteria and Archaea communities during anaerobic digestion of model dairy wastewater exposed to SMF. Magnetic field caused a significant increase in methane production to 373.2 mL/g VS compared to 200.2 mL/g VS in a control reactor and methane content to 56.8% compared to 49.1% in a control reactor. In both reactors, the biomass was dominated by Trichococcus sp. The relative abundance of lactic acid bacteria was of about 10% higher in the reactor exposed to SMF. This higher number of Lactobacillales resulted from a higher acetate production, which additionally caused enhanced growth of Methanosarcinacaea in the reactor exposed to SMF. SMF also stimulated the growth of hydrogenotrophic methanogens.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most energy-efficient waste treatment technologies for biodegradable wastes. Owing to the increasing trend of metallic nanoparticle applications in industry, they are ubiquitous to the waste streams, which may lead to remarkable impacts on the performance of the AD process. This review addresses the knowledge gaps and summarises the findings from the academic articles published from 2010 to 2019 focusing on the influences on both AD processes of biochemical hydrogen-generation and methane-production from selected metallic nano-materials. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses were conducted with selected indicators to evaluate the metallic nanoparticles' influences on the AD process. The selected metallic nanoparticles were grouped in the view of their chemical formulations aiming to point out the possible mechanisms behind their effects on AD processes. In summary, most metallic nanoparticles with trace-element-base (e.g. iron, cobalt, nickel) have positive effects on both AD hydrogen-generation and methane-production processes in terms of gas production, effluent quality, as well as process optimisation. Within an optimum concentration, they serve as key nutrients providers, aid key enzymes and co-enzymes synthesis, and thus stimulate anaerobic microorganism activities. As for the nano-additives without trace-element base, their positive influences are relied on providing active sites for the microorganism, as well as absorbing inhibitory factors. Moreover, comparisons of these nano-additives' impacts on the two gas-production phases were conducted, while methane-production phases are found to be more sensitive to additions of these nanoparticles then hydrogen-production phase. Research perspectives and research gaps in this area are discussed.

The Effect of Static Magnetic Field on Methanogenesis in the Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Sewage Sludge. ENERGIES 2021.

Abstract
The present study aimed to determine the effect of a 17.6 mT static magnetic field (SMF) on the efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD) of municipal sewage sludge (MSS). The SMF had a significant impact on methane (CH4) production efficiency, the levels of fermentation rate (ηFMSS) vs. removal rate (ηVS), and the structure of the anaerobic bacteria consortium, but it did not affect cumulative biogas production. The highest CH4 yield (431 ± 22 dm3CH4/kgVS) and the highest methane content in the biogas (66.1% ± 1.9%) were found in the variant in which the SMF exposure time was 144 min/day. This variant also produced the highest ηFMSS and ηVS values, reaching 73.8% ± 2.3% and ηVS 36.9% ± 1.6%, respectively. Longer anaerobic sludge retention time in the SMF area significantly decreased AD efficiency and caused a significant reduction in the number of methanogens in the anaerobic bacteria community. The lowest values were observed for SMF exposure time of 432 min/day, which produced only 54.8 ± 1.9% CH4 in the biogas. A pronounced reduction was recorded in the Archaea (ARC915) and Methanosaeta (MX825) populations in the anaerobic sludge, i.e., to 20% ± 11% and 6% ± 2%, respectively.

Anaerobic Digestion Technology for Methane Production Using Deer Manure Under Different Experimental Conditions. ENERGIES 2019.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is an important technology for the treatment of livestock and poultry manure. The optimal experimental conditions were studied, with deer manure as a fermentation material and mushroom residue as an inoculum. At the same time, methane production was increased by adding zeolite and changing the magnetic field conditions. The results showed that a 6% solid content was the best condition for producing methane. The optimal conditions for methane production were obtained by adding 35 g of mushroom residue to 80 g of deer manure at 35 °C. The addition of organic wastewater (OW) improved methane production. The result of improving the methane production factor showed that adding zeolite during the reaction process could increase the methane production rate. When the amount of zeolite was over 8% total solids (TSes), methane production could improve, but the rate decreased. Setting a different magnetic field strength in the AD environment showed that when the distance between the magnetic field and the reactor was 50 mm and the magnetic field strength was 10–50 mT, the methane production increment and the content of methane in the mixed gases increased.

Abstract
Two types of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), i.e. Ni ferrite nanoparticles (Fe2NiO4) and Ni Zn ferrite nanoparticles (Fe4NiO4Zn) containing the trace metals Ni and Fe, were added to the anaerobic digestion of synthetic municipal wastewater at concentrations between 1 and 100 mg Ni L-1 in order to compare their effects on biogas (methane) production and sludge activity. Using the production of methane over time as a measure, the assays revealed that anaerobic digestion was stimulated by the addition of 100 mg Ni L-1 in Fe2NiO4 NPs, while it was inhibited by the addition of 1-100 mg Ni L-1 in Fe4NiO4Zn NPs. Especially at 100 mg Ni L-1, Fe4NiO4Zn NPs resulted in a total inhibition of anaerobic digestion. The metabolic activity of the anaerobic sludge was tested using the resazurin reduction assay, and the assay clearly revealed the negative effect of Fe4NiO4Zn NPs and the positive effect of Fe2NiO4 NPs. Re-feeding fresh synthetic medium reactivated the NPs added to the anaerobic sludge, except for the experiment with 100 mg Ni L-1 addition of Fe4NiO4Zn NPs. The findings in this present study indicate a possible new strategy for NPs design to enhance anaerobic digestion.

Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a microbiologically coordinated process with dynamic relationships between bacterial players. Current understanding of dynamic changes in the bacterial composition during the AD process is incomplete. The objective of this research was to assess changes in bacterial community composition that coordinates with anaerobic codigestion of microalgal biomass cultivated on municipal wastewater. An upflow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor was used to achieve high rates of microalgae decomposition and biogas production. Samples of the sludge were collected throughout AD and extracted DNA was subjected to next-generation sequencing using methanogen mcrA gene specific and universal bacterial primers. Analysis of the data revealed that samples taken at different stages of AD had varying bacterial composition. A group consisting of Bacteroidales, Pseudomonadales, and Enterobacteriales was identified to be putatively responsible for the hydrolysis of microalgal biomass. The methanogenesis phase was dominated by Methanosarcina mazei. Results of observed changes in the composition of microbial communities during AD can be used as a road map to stimulate key bacterial species identified at each phase of AD to increase yield of biogas and rate of substrate decomposition. This research demonstrates a successful exploitation of methane production from microalgae without any biomass pretreatment.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a static magnetic field (SMF) on the composition of activated sludge biocenosis. The experiment was carried out in two parallel bench scale Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBRs). Both SBRs were treated with dairy wastewater. The activated sludge in the first SBR was exposed to an SMF via the induction of a 0.6 T magnetic field generated by four magnetic liquid activators. The second reactor (control reactor) was operated at the same operational parameters but the activated sludge was not exposed to the SMF. The mean length of the bacterium Eikelboom Type 0092 was lower in the SMF-exposed reactor than in the control reactor. Different activated sludge morphologies in SBRs were reflected in the values of the sludge volume index and sludge biotic index calculated on the basis of the microfauna composition.
