RESUMEN
Total solid content (TS) is an important factor for biogas production during anaerobic digestion. In this study, we explored the influence of different TS (5% wet, 15% semi-solid and 25% solid state) on the relative cumulative methane production (RCMP) during anaerobic co-digestion of chicken manure with corn straw. Results showed that total ammonium nitrogen and free ammonia nitrogen concentration increased with the increase of TS. Ammonium nitrogen in treatments at 15% TS was 2.25-2.76 times as high as that at 5% TS, which was below 3 times. The highest chemical oxygen demand removal and RCMP were obtained in the treatment of 15% TS with a ratio of 2:1 chicken manure: corn straw (based on TS). The RCMP in the treatments of 15% TS were 3.63-4.59 times higher than that of 5% TS based on the volume of substrates. The abundance of Caldicoprobacter improving the degradation of corn straw was significantly positively correlated with the RCMP, and the average abundance of Caldicoprobacter at 15% TS was 8.33 and 7.02 times higher than that at 5% and 25% TS, respectively. Structural equation models analysis suggested that TS significantly impacted the RCMP by indirectly impacting free ammonia nitrogen and microbial abundance. These findings indicated semi-solid state (15% TS) decreased ammonia nitrogen releasing and improved the abundance of Caldicoprobacter, and increased RCMP during anaerobic co-digestion of chicken manure with corn straw.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in animal manure are a great threat to human health. This study investigated the effects of lignite addition at three levels (5%, 10%, 15% w/w) on the profiles of ARGs and the bacterial communities during poultry litter composting. Lignite addition effectively promoted the removal of manure-borne ARGs. After 65 days of composting, the relative abundances of ARGs decreased by 8.9% in control (no lignite), and by 15.8%, 27.7% and 41.5% in 5%, 10% and 15% lignite treatments, respectively. Although the total mobile genetic elements were enriched after composting, the enrichment of the intI-1 gene was significantly lower in the 10% and 15% lignite treatments compared with control. Network analysis indicated that Actinobacteria and Firmicutes were potential bacterial hosts for ARGs. Redundancy analysis showed that bacterial community succession played a key role in the shifts of ARGs. Taken together, this study provides evidence that lignite as additives promoted the removal efficacy of ARGs during composting of poultry litter.

Lignite could be used to promote methane production during high-solid anaerobic co-digestion (HS-AcoD) of pig manure, however, the effects of lignite amendment on the fate of ARGs during HS-AcoD are unknown. Here, we explored the influence of lignite (0%, 8%, 16%, 32%, and 64%) on the fate of ARGs during HS-AcoD of pig manure. The results showed that 16% lignite reduced the absolute abundance of ARGs by 28.71% compared with the 0% lignite treatment. Variation partitioning analysis suggested the combined effect of microbial community, mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and environmental factors was the major driver shaping the pattern of ARGs. The potential hosts of ARGs were Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus, Tissierella and Streptococcus. Structural equation models analysis suggested lignite indirectly impacted the pattern of ARGs by significantly reducing the abundance of microbial community and MGEs. These findings give an insight into the mechanistic understanding of the lignite influence on the reduction of ARGs during HS-AcoD.

Field experiments of winter wheat-summer maize rotation were conducted in North China Plain irrigation area to explore the effects of wheat season irrigation with dairy effluent on grain yield, phosphorus uptake, accumulative phosphorus usage efficiency and phosphorus accumulation in soil. The results showed that the irrigation with dairy effluent significantly improved the yields of winter wheat and summer maize. With the increasing of P2O5 carried by dairy effluent into soil, winter wheat yield increased at first and then decreased. When the P2O5 increased 137 kg · hm(-2), winter wheat yield increased to the maximum (7646.4 kg · hm(-2)) and the phosphorus utilization rate was the highest (24.8%). But excessive phosphorus decreased the winter wheat yield and phosphorus utilization efficiency. Summer maize yield and phosphorus uptake increased with the increase of P2O5 carried by dairy effluent. The summer maize yield increased by 2222.4-2628.6 kg · hm(-2) and the phosphorus uptake increased by 13.9-21.1 kg · hm(-2) in contrast to the control (CK). Under conventional phosphorus fertilization at 88 kg · hm(-2), and the summer maize yield increased by 2235.0 kg · hm(-2) compared with CK. As the time of irrigation with dairy effluent increasing, the grain yield increased more significantly. The cumulative phosphorus utilization in this rotation system increased year by year. After six seasons of crop harvest, the cumulative phosphorus utilization rate increased into 40.0%-47.7%. Under the experimental condition, two times of irrigation with the dairy effluents in the winter wheat-summer maize rotation system was the best operating mode.
