This study aimed to investigate effects of continuous low-speed biogas agitation on the anaerobic digestion (AD) performance and microbial community of high-solids pig manure (total solids content of 10%). Our results reveal that at a biogas agitation intensity of 1.10 L/g /d, CH production increased by 16.67% compared to the non-agitated condition, the removal efficiency of HS reached 63.18%, and the abundance of Methanosarcina was the highest. The presence of Hungateiclostridiaceae was associated with HS concentrations. An increasing biogas agitation intensity led to an elevated pH and a decreased oxidation-reduction potential (ORP). Acetate concentrations, pH, and ORP values indicated changes in HS concentrations. Sedimentibacter demonstrates the potential to indicate biogas agitation intensity and pH. We demonstrate that continuous low-speed biogas agitation effectively increases CH production and reduces HS concentrations in AD of high-solids pig manure, offering a potential technical pathway for developing AD processes for high-solids pig manure, it also demonstrates that AD process can reduce the risk of pathogen and parasite transmission.

Levulinic acid, which can be obtained from biomass, has sparked great interest as a biologically-based chemical building block with wide versatility and potential. Its esterification with alcohols of different chain lengths is a promising valorization process for obtaining esters with various applications in the areas of biofuels/biolubricants, food and cosmetics, among others. In this work, the enzymatic esterification of levulinic acid and 1-octanol using a biocatalyst derived from Araujia sericifera latex was studied in systems with and without solvent.

Background: Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a natural polymer material, gained significant popularity among researchers and industry. It has great potential in areas, such as textile manufacturing, fiber-based paper, and packaging products, food industry, biomedical materials, and advanced functional bionanocomposites. The main current fermentation methods for BNC involved static culture, as the agitated culture methods had lower raw material conversion rates and resulted in non-uniform product formation.

Dry anaerobic digestion (dry-AD) is an attractive process for solid wastes such as agri-food waste. However, some limitations mainly associated to lack of effective mixing, can hinder the methane production capacity of the systems. Bulking agent (BA) has been proposed as a solution to the compaction issues in systems without mechanical agitation, such as leaching bed reactors.
