This study systematically evaluated and compared different inoculum pretreatment methods to quickly select dark fermentative bacteria from anaerobic sludge for the bioconversion of food waste. The hydrogen (H) production rate was found to be highest for 'heat + CO' treated inoculum at 140.75 ± 2.61 mL/L/h compared to control experiments (60.27 ± 2.61 mL/L/h). At the same time, H yield was found to be highest for alkali-treated inoculum at 157.25 ± 7.62 mL/g of volatile solids (VS) added compared to control experiments (91.61 ± 1.93 mL/g VS). Analysis of organic acids suggests a Clostridial-type fermentation with acetate (0.52 to 1.60 g/L) and butyrate (1.69 to 2.42 g/L) being the major by-products. The microbial data analysis showed that Firmicutes (63.64-90.39%), Bacteroidota (1.16-21.88%), and Proteobacteria (2.09-9.93%) were dominant at the phylum level, whereas genus-level classification showed Clostridium sensu stricto 1 (6.37-42.63%), Streptococcus (1.87-28.96%), Prevotella (0.57-16.59%), and Enterococcus (0.56-14.51%) dominated under different experimental conditions.

High salts concentrations in wastewater hinder its biological treatment. Recent research has investigated the inhibitory effect of salinity on the anammox process, mainly focusing on NaCl. Thus, the inhibition caused by multi-electrolytes salinity on freshwater anammox bacteria remains unclear.

Agro-industrial residues have transitions from being an environmental problem to being a cost-effective source of biopolymers and value-added chemicals. However, the efficient extraction of the desired products from these residues requires pretreatments. Fungal biorefinery is a fascinating approach for the biotransformation of raw materials into multiple products in a single batch.

Biochemical methane potential tests using water hyacinth (WH), pretreated water hyacinth (PWH), and Hydrilla verticillata (HV) as substrates using sewage media were explored. This study replaced the freshwater required to prepare the slurry for AD of organic solid waste with domestic sewage. Cow dung was used as the inoculum.

Background: The eco-friendly transformation of agro-industrial wastes through microbial bioconversion could address sustainability challenges in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals. The bulk of agro-industrial waste consists of lignocellulosic materials with fermentable sugars, predominantly cellulose and hemicellulose. A number of pretreatment options have been employed for material saccharification toward successful fermentation into second-generation bioethanol.

The present study aimed to establish the feasibility of the wastewater treatment process generated from an oleaginous fermentation plant. Treatment of spent fermentation broth (SFB) poses significant environmental challenges due to its high organic load, recalcitrant compounds, and potential toxicity. The synergistic effects of combining ozone-based advanced oxidation process (O-AOP) with biological treatment for the efficient degradation of pollutants in spent fermentation broth.
