Article Abstract
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is promising for treating high-strength wastewater. However, the effect of operational parameters on microbial communities of AD with sulfate is not yet fully understood. To explore this, four reactors were operated under rapid- and slow-filling modes with different organic carbons. Reactors in the rapid-filling mode generally exhibited a fast kinetic property. For example, the degradation of ethanol was 4.6 times faster in ASBR than in ASBR, and the degradation of acetate was 11.2 times faster in ASBR than in ASBR. Nevertheless, reactors in the slow-filling mode could mitigate propionate accumulation when using ethanol as organic carbon. Taxonomic and functional analysis further supported that rapid- and slow-filling modes were suitable for the growth of r-strategists (e.g., Desulfomicrobium) and K-strategists (e.g., Geobacter), respectively. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into microbial interactions of AD processes with sulfate through the application of the r/K selection theory.

In vitro simulation of rumen fermentation is critical for improving feed efficiency, assessing dietary interventions, and supporting methane mitigation strategies in ruminant production systems. However, existing fermentation platforms are often expensive, technically complex, or poorly suited for long-term microbial viability under near-rumen conditions-especially in resource-limited settings. This study presents the development and validation of a modular, low-cost engineered to replicate key physiological parameters of the rumen, including temperature control (39-40 °C), continuous buffering via artificial saliva infusion, anaerobic regulation, and simulated motility through mixing pumps.

This study investigated the impact of dietary zeolite supplementation on growth, cecal microbiota and digesta viscosity, digestive enzymes, carcass traits, blood constituents, and antioxidant parameters of broilers. A completely randomized design was used with 240 one-day-old broiler chicks randomly assigned to three dietary treatments (0%, 1.5%, and 3% zeolite as a feed additive) with four replicates of 20 chicks each.

Large-scale anaerobic treatment involves a high risk of antibiotic pollution in anaerobically digested (AD) biosolids, which hinders the efficient utilization of farmland AD biosolids. Herein, a process for the in situ removal of antibiotics from AD biosolids using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt dihydrate as the release agent synergized with sodium persulfate oxidation is reported. The developed process was used to remove antibiotics from actual AD biosolids.

Livestock wastewater is a critical reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) that poses significant public health risks. This study comprehensively evaluated the seasonal dynamics and associated risks of ARGs in a full-scale livestock wastewater treatment plant using an integrated metagenomic and metatranscriptomic approach. The results showed that untreated livestock wastewater harbored high abundance (4.

Sulfur-modified nanoscale zero-valent iron (S-nZVI) has emerged as a promising additive for enhancing anaerobic treatment of refractory wastewater. However,its long-term effectiveness and role in toxic shock resistance remain unclear. Herein, S-nZVI was first applied to continuous-flow anaerobic reactors treating wastewater containing 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP).
