Article Synopsis
  • Understanding microbial communities is crucial for characterizing microbiomes, but traditional quantification methods can be complicated and slow.
  • Flow cytometry is a faster, high-throughput technique that allows researchers to study various microbial attributes and is especially useful when combined with other omics-based methods.
  • This review explores the potential applications of flow cytometry in environmental microbiology, including areas like bioremediation and water quality regulation, highlighting both its advantages and challenges.

Cattle are usually raised for food, manure, leather, therapeutic, and draught purposes. Biowastes from cattle, such as dung and urine, harbor a diverse group of crucial compounds, metabolites/chemicals, and microorganisms that may benefit humans for agriculture, nutrition, therapeutics, industrial, and other utility products. Several bioactive compounds have been identified in cattle dung and urine, which possess unique properties and may vary based on agro-climatic zones and feeding practices.

The ever-increasing consumption of antibiotics in both humans and animals has increased their load in municipal and pharmaceutical industry waste and may cause serious damage to the environment. Impact of antibiotics on the performance of commercially used anaerobic digesters in terms of bioenergy output, antibiotics' removal and COD removal have been compared critically with a few studies indicating >90% removal of antibiotics. AnMBR performed the best in terms of antibiotic removal, COD removal and methane yield.
