“…2001) mentioned that nitrification was responsible for the decreasing pH values during organic waste decomposing. Similarly, Aboukila et al, (2018b) stated that increasing application rate of mozzarella cheese whey decreased the pH in both clay and calcareous soil. Reductions in pH with application of organic amendments to saltaffected soils were also stated by other researchers (Wong et al, 2009;Mahdy, 2011;Franco-Otero et al, 2012;.…”

“…Ketterings et al (2017) recorded that acid whey supplies soils with N, P, and K. In average, an addition level of 16.84 m 3 h -1 supplies about 185 kg h -1 of total N, 279 kg h -1 of P2O5, and 336 kg h -1 of K2O. Aboukila et al (2018b) reported that application of cheese whey to calcareous and clay soils led to increasing SOM, soil available N, P, and K.…”

Incubation and germination experiments were carried out to evaluate spent grain, cheese whey, gypsum and compost for reclamation of sodic soils and enhancing Corn (Zea mays L.) germination. Seven treatments included two levels of mozzarella cheese whey, two levels of compost, one level of gypsum, one level of spent grain and an untreated control. The treatments were added to sodic soil, packed in pots and incubated under natural field conditions. One month after the incubation, 4 corn seeds were sown in the soil pots. The germination experiment was lasted for 15 days. Results indicate that all organic amendments most effectively reduced exchangeable sodium percent (ESP), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and soil pH; while enhanced soil organic matter, macronutrients, and corn germination percentages, compare to gypsum and control. Spent grain was the most effective amendment in reducing soil sodicity and enhancing soil fertility and corn germination in the sodic soils. Further increasing the application rates of cheese whey and compost did not significantly enhance corn germination or reduce sodicity. The positive impacts of all amendments followed the arranging; spent grain > cheese whey > compost > gypsum > control. Moreover, one-month incubation was enough time for amendments to ameliorate soil sodicity before crop plantation. Spent grain and cheese whey are more effective than gypsum and compost in remediating sodic soils and are much inexpensive.

“…Currently, the most common methods for CWW disposal are: (1) direct discharge into water bodies, such as rivers, lakes, oceans, or into municipal drainage/sewer systems (Prazeres et al, 2012), (2) used as a fertilizer or soil amendment in agriculture (Aboukila et al, 2018), (3) used as a food supplement for fattening animals, and (4) biological pre-treatment prior to end disposals. Consequently, these types of disposal can have several negative effects, such as reducing the quality of water and soils (inducing anoxia, eutrophication, acidification, toxicity, and pH imbalance), affecting metabolic interactions in aquatic and semi-aquatic environments (Tirado et al, 2018;Mostafa-Imeni et al, 2019), increasing contamination of nutrient runoff and groundwater (Ghaly et al, 2007), and generating digestive problems in animals due to an unbalanced diet (Sutera et al, 2023).…”

The cheese-making process generates large amounts of cheese whey wastewater (CWW), which is abundant in nutrients but difficult to dispose of, contributing to the eutrophication of natural environments due to inadequate waste management. Here we show the anaerobic digestion of CCW by syntrophy between bacteria and archaea in an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) bioreactor as a low-cost alternative for bioremediation and biofuel production. The performance of the EGSB bioreactor and the composition of the natural microbial community were evaluated. During the operation of the EGSB bioreactor, physicochemical parameters such as alkalinity ratio (0.25), pH (7.5), and temperature (26°C) were attained and maintained, as well as light- and oxygen-free conditions, which favored the metabolism of oxygen-sensitive bacteria and methane-producing archaea (methanogens). Under these conditions, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal rate was highly efficient (> 89%). Methane (CH4) was produced from organic matter degradation by a few methanogens, mainly from Methanosaeta spp., and was enhanced by the metabolic interaction between bacteria and archaea. The biochemical methane potential (BMP) was >335 mL CH4/gCOD, indicating that the syntrophic microbial community is very efficient in removing organic matter and CH4 produced from CWW. Our results suggest that CWW could be treated in EGSB bioreactors and used as a sustainable alternative to CH4 production and also provide insights for the design of synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) for bioremediation, biogas production, and other biotechnological processes.
