Antibiotic mycelial dreg (AMD) has been categorized as hazardous waste due to the high residual hazardous contaminants. Inappropriate management and disposal of AMD can cause potential environmental and ecological risks. In this study, the potential of pleuromutilin mycelial dreg (PMD) as a novel feedstock for preparing tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) adsorbent was explored to achieve safe management of PMD. The results suggested that residual hazardous contaminants were completely eliminated after pyrolysis. With the increase of pyrolysis temperature, the yields, H/C, O/C, (O + N)/C, and pore size in PMD-derived biochars (PMD-BCs) decreased, while BET surface area and pore volume increased, resulting in the higher stability of the PMD-BCs prepared from higher temperatures. The TC adsorption of the PMD-BCs increased from 27.3 to 46.9 mg/g with the increase of the pyrolysis temperature. Surprisingly, pH value had a strong impact on the TC adsorption, the adsorption capacity of BC-450 increased from 6.5 to 71.1 mg/g when the solution pH value increased from 2 to 10. Lewis acid-base interaction, pore filling, π-π interaction, hydrophobic interaction, and charge-assisted hydrogen bond (CAHB) are considered to drive the adsorption. This work provides a novel pathway for the concurrent detoxification and reutilization of AMD.

In order to tackle the issue of terramycin mycelial dreg (TMD) diagnosis and removal of terramycin and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), this study adopted aerobic composting (AC) technology and added homemade compound microbial inoculum (HCMI) to promote the AC of TMD and enhance the removal of terramycin and ARGs. The findings demonstrated that terramycin residue could be basically harmless after AC. Moreover, HCMI not only reduced QacB and tetH but also increased the degradation rates of VanRA, VanT, and dfrA24 by 40.

The penicillin industry produces a large amount of penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD), potentially causing severe environmental problems without proper treatment and disposal. To achieve the goals of PMD management, the present work explored the potential of PMD as a novel feedstock to produce biochar with very high adsorption performance. PMD was pyrolyzed at 400-800 °C to prepare biochars (PMD-BCs), and the physical and chemical properties were characterized using various methods.

To address the problem of antibiotic mycelial dreg (AMD) treatment and removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), this study adopted anaerobic digestion (AD) technology, and added biochar (BC) and biochar loaded with nanosized zero-valent iron (nZVI-BC) to promote the AD of AMD and enhance the removal of ARGs. Results showed that nZVI-BC was better than BC in promoting AD due to the hydrogen evolution corrosion and the synergistic effect of nZVI and BC. In addition, BC and nZVI-BC can enhance the oxidative stress response and reduce ammonia stress phenomenon, which significantly reduces the abundance of aadA, ant(2″)-Ⅰ, qacEdelta1 and sul1.

Antibiotic residues lead to the risk of resistance gene enrichment, which is the main reason why penicillin mycelial dreg (PMD) is defined as hazardous waste. Hydrothermal treatment (HT) is an effective method to treat penicillin mycelial dreg, but the degradation mechanism of penicillin is unclear. In the study, we researched the effects of pH (4-10) at 80-100 °C and metal ions (Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn) at several concentrations on the HT of penicillin, identified the degradation products (DPs) under different conditions, and evaluated the antibacterial activity of hydrothermally treated samples.
