A study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of supplementing swine manure with Bacillus subtilis (BS) to improve digestion of manure solids and lower odor emission. Large bioreactors (400 L) with manure (100 L) were treated with commercially available BS at a rate of 1% manure volume by...

Bacillus licheniformis MW3 degrades bird feathers. Feather keratin is rich in cysteine, which is metabolized to produce hazardous sulfide and sulfane sulfur. A challenge to B. licheniformis MW3 growing on feathers is to detoxify them. Here we identified a gene cluster in B. licheniformis MW3 to...

The complete genome sequence of Alcaligenes faecalis strain NLF5-7, which was isolated from livestock wastewater, is reported. The genome of strain NLF5-7 contains genes for assimilatory sulfate reduction, dissimilatory sulfate reduction and oxidation, and an SOX system, based on its functional...

Poultry production is a supplier of a wide range of food and non-food products. At the same time, the increase in the rate of production leads not only to an increase in the volume of products, but also to an increase in waste. As secondary raw material resources, the feathery raw material of...

The need to guarantee the geographical origin of food samples has become imperative in recent years due to the increasing amount of food fraud. Stable isotope ratio analysis permits the characterization and origin control of foodstuffs, thanks to its capability to discriminate between products...

In order to reduce the risks of sulfur-containing contaminants present in biofuels, the effects of microwave and content of hydrogen donor on the cracking of C-S bonds and the migration of sulfur were studied by co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic. The synergistic mechanism of microwave and...

The co-combustion of textile dyeing sludge (TDS) and cattle manure (CM) may enhance circularity in terms of resource and pollution controls. However, the pollutant migrations and transformations of ashes and their characterization during the co-combustion are still unclear. This study aimed to...

Novel biomass-derived carbon dots co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur were fabricated through facile and simple synthetic method from manufactured milk powder and methionine as precursors. The as-fabricated platform was used for ratiometric fluorescence sensing of Cu (II) and bisphosphonate drug...

The productivity of fodder legumes, based on internal sources of N, may be limited due to an insufficient supply of nutrients responsible for the efficient use of N accumulated by the crop during the growing season. Production risk occurs on soils that are naturally poor or depleted in nutrients...
