“…Divergences may arise because our study was conducted in situ with the implementation of bacteria only. Reports indicating the high utility of fungal cultures align with the findings of Marycz et al, which demonstrated the effectiveness of employing fungal co-cultures in hydrophobic VOCs removal [55]. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that VOCs exhibit lower solubility in water compared to NH 3 and H 2 S [23].…”

One of the most noticeable problems associated with the close location of piggeries is gaseous compounds emission. Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions affect the quality of life of people living in the vicinity of such facilities. Among the diverse methods for managing and controlling malodorous substances, biological methods, which involve the utilization of microbiological agents, are widely employed. The use of bacterial strains is a relatively simple, low-cost, and ecological method. The study aimed to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the implementation of a novel consortium of deodorizing bacteria. The study involved the selection of bacteria, assessment of the antagonistic properties, implementation of the inoculum in a mesh-filled biofilter, and analysis of ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and fine dust content in the air before and after passing through the mature biological bed. The results obtained demonstrate the effectiveness of the biofiltration bed in reducing ammonia levels, with a maximum decrease observed at 73.90%. For hydrogen sulfide, a removal efficiency of >72.08% was observed. Reduction in fine dust pollution also decreased from a level of 3.75 mg/m3 to 1.06 mg/m3. The study’s findings demonstrate the promising potential of utilizing a consortium of deodorizing bacteria as an effective approach to mitigating emissions from piggeries.

“…In recent years, biofiltration using fungi became attractive [9,10]. Comparing to bacteria, fungi are more resistant to low humidity [32,33] and increased temperature variation [2,32,33]. Moreover, co-cultures of yeast and telluric fungi can degrade a wide variety of hydrocarbons (n-hexane, alpha-pinene, trichloroethylene) at very low costs [33].…”

Human activity leads to the production and release of many aliphatic and aromatic compounds that have long been considered a major source of pollution that needs to be addressed. Especially those substances that possess one or several aromatic rings (MAHs and PAHs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are of concern, and numerous studies have tried to understand mechanisms of degradation and develop biological solutions to this problem.Many microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi have been documented to be able to degrade and even use as a source of carbon and energy these types of organic pollutants. White-rot fungi are well documented for their ability to degrade aromatic compounds due to their enzyme system involved in lignin decomposition. However, several less studied anamorphic fungi and yeasts can grow on different organic compounds (including PAHs and VOCs) as a sole source of carbon. These species are of a great importance for developing strategies for organic pollutants biodegradation, and have often been isolated from sources traditionally contaminated, such as soil and industrial debris.In this study, mycobiota from different types of soil contaminated with aromatic compounds has been studied to understand the way the pollutants affect the microbiome and fungal communities' composition. Several fungi have been demonstrated to grow well on contaminated soils and their potential for biodegradation of organic compounds is discussed. These insights contribute to moving forward the possible biological pathways involved in the biofiltration of the gaseous pollutants from urban automotive underground spaces and other related applications.

This study synthesized the copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate metal-organic framework (Cu-BTC) by the hydrothermal method in mixed solvent water/ethanol/PEG. The formed MOF-199 material has a uniform, sharp, octahedral crystal morphology with a 5 ÷ 8 µm size. The surface area of MOF-199 with the BET model is 1.360,76 m2/g. This material can adsorb volatile organic compounds with high capacity. The saturation adsorption capacity of MOF-199 with ethanol, acetone, benzene, toluene, and butyl acetate was 99,50; 86,80; 91,00; 79,00; 104,50 mg/g, respectively. The regenerative capacity of the material also showed that the material was resistant to volatile organic solvents when used 7 times in a row, only decreased under 10%.
