The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top threats to global public health. While AMR surveillance human clinical isolates is well-established in many countries, increasing threat intensified efforts detect antibiotic genes (ARGs) accurately and sensitively environmental samples, wastewater, animals, food. Using five ARGs 16S rRNA gene, we compared quantitative PCR (qPCR) metagenomic sequencing (MGS), two commonly used methods uncover wastewater resistome. We both by evaluating ARG detection through a municipal treatment chain. Our results demonstrate that qPCR was more sensitive than MGS, particularly diluted samples with low concentrations such oxidation pond water. However, MGS potentially specific less risk off-target binding concentrated raw sewage. analysis revealed multiple subtypes each gene which could not be distinguished qPCR; these varied across different sample types. findings affect conclusions can drawn when comparing types, terms inferring removal rates or origins genes. conclude appear suitable profile resistome other depending on research question type sample.

This study evaluated how fruit fermentation liquid (FFL) enhances the conversion of chicken manure by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) and modulates their gut microbiota. Three groups were tested: control (A: 300 g + 50 water), low-dose FFL (B: 25 high-dose (C: FFL). The results show that dry matter rate significantly increased 9.5% (p < 0.05), while feed-to-larvae ratio was reduced 1.02 0.01) in group C. NH3 emissions C decreased 24.48 mg·kg-1·DM (dry substrate) day-1 (24.48 mg per kilogram substrate day) 0.01), with suppressed H2S release. Gut microbiota analysis revealed abundance Proteobacteria (6.07% decrease C) enriching Actinobacteriota (4.68% increase) beneficial genera (Corynebacterium, Gallicola). Substrate microbial diversity improved, Firmicutes increasing 11.07% 4.83%, respectively, pathogenic Sphingobacteriaceae declining 21.16% day 7. likely introduced organic acids nutrients, enhancing larval digestion nutrient absorption inhibiting production harmful gases. These findings demonstrate optimizes BSFL-driven waste efficiency through modulation microbiota, offering a sustainable strategy for management contributing to circular agricultural systems.

<p>The growing global population and increasing human demands have led to a rise in organic waste volumes. These wastes contain potential risk substances like pathogenic bacteria (PB), antibiotics (ABs), heavy metals (HMs), microplastics (MPs), which can threaten public health through direct contact or food chain transmission. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) emerged as promising solution for management crop-livestock integration. They efficiently reduce matter, produce high-quality proteins fats, generate green biofertilizers, mitigate harmful greenhouse gas emissions. However, the specific mechanisms by BSFL transform fertilizers, remain unclear, significantly limiting further development application of bioconversion technology. In recent years, numerous studies revealed that gut microbiota possess functions such promoting degradation substrate nutrients, regulating host nutrient synthesis metabolism, directly indirectly inhibiting proliferation PB, biodegrading cometabolizing ABs, mitigating mobility HMs, MPs. Therefore, exploring developing could be great significance optimizing efficiency transformation, effectively reducing waste, their wide applications biomedicine energy sectors. This review systematically summarizes composition, function, environmental impacts microbiota, focusing on roles transformation We believe in-depth exploration this field will advance integrated systems, is essential achieving humanity's sustainable goals.</p>

Managing plastic waste is one of the greatest challenges humanity faces in coming years. Current strategies-landfilling, incineration, and recycling-remain insufficient or pose significant environmental concerns, failing to address growing volume residues discharged into environment. Recently, increasing attention has focused on potential certain insect larvae species chew, consume, partially biodegrade synthetic polymers such as polystyrene polyethylene, offering novel biotechnological opportunities for management. However, insect-assisted depolymerization incomplete, leaving amounts microplastics frass (or manure), limiting its use a soil amendment. In this perspective, we propose two-step bioconversion system overcome these limitations, using insects sustainably manage while revalorizing by-products (frass). The first step involves pyrolyzing microplastic-containing from mealworms (Tenebrio molitor larvae) fed plastic-rich diets produce biochar with enhanced adsorptive properties. second stage integrates entomocomposting organic residues, food waste, black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) nutrient-rich substrates enriched carbon nitrogen. This integrated offers framework large-scale industrial applications, contributing bioeconomy by addressing both residue We critically examine advantages limitations proposed based current literature technology entomocomposting. Key research are identified, particularly concerning physiological toxicological processes involved, guide future efforts aimed at ensuring scalability sustainability innovative approach.
