Understanding the impacts and mechanisms of different antibiotics on organic phosphorus (OP) mineralization is crucial for promoting the rational utilization of resources and protecting the ecological environment. In this study, the effects of four commonly used antibiotics (sulfadiazine, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and ampicillin) on the mineralization of OP were explored using16S rRNA gene sequencing technology. The results showed that ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, and ampicillin negatively affected the mineralization capacity of OP, whereas sulfadiazine positively influenced OP mineralization.

Aerobic composting provides an environmentally friendly treatment method, but improving humification of raw materials remains a challenge. This study revealed the effect of different concentrations of potassium persulfate (PP) on humification of chicken manure and straw aerobic composting and the underlying microbial mechanisms.

The results revealed that the inoculation of combined bacteria induced quorum sensing, modulated hydrolytic enzyme production, and reshaped the community structure. Lignin-degraded genera (Pseudomonas and Sphingobacterium) were enriched, and the relative abundances of pectin- and cellulose-degraded genera (Chryseobacterium) decreased in the early degumming stages.
