“…The mechanical grinding and secretion of several digestive enzymes are the major reasons behind pathogen elimination during gut transit of organic wastes (Lazcano et al, 2008; Rodríguez‐Canché et al, 2010; Aira et al, 2011; Moran‐Salazar et al, 2016). The grazing action of earthworms through crushing and grinding of wastes during gut transit results in increased surface area for further action of the endosymbiotic microbes (Sen and Chandra, 2009; Prakash and Karmegam, 2010).…”

“…Several researchers have studied the physiology of earthworms and emphasized the release of coelomic fluids possessing antibacterial properties that kill pathogens (Contreras‐Ramos et al, 2005; Sinha et al, 2008a, 2012; Rodríguez‐Canché et al, 2010; Kumar and Shweta, 2011; Castillo et al, 2013; Moran‐Salazar et al, 2016). The secreted coelomic fluid in earthworm E. fetida contains a lytic factor (i.e., coelomic cytolytic factor [CCF‐1]) that recognizes the peptidoglycan constituent muramic acid and muramyl dipeptide of the bacterial cell wall and lyses them to kill pathogens (Bilej et al, 2001; Salzet et al, 2006).…”

Management of both municipal and industrial organic wastes remains a major threat to biota and the environment due to the presence of pathogens in abundance. Vermicomposting employing earthworms is increasingly gaining attention as a sustainable and ecofriendly technique to transform and sanitize a variety of organic wastes into nutrient-rich biofertilizer. Although considerable research has been undertaken to show that vermicomposting can significantly reduce pathogenic contents, there is little effort to summarize the various mechanisms responsible for it. With the aim to assess the fate of pathogens during vermicomposting of various organic wastes, this article provides a comprehensive summary on the occurrence of pathogens in a variety of wastes vis-à-vis pathogens standards, the efficacy of the process for pathogen reduction, and current knowledge of the plausible mechanisms involved. It is evident from the present study that earthworms and endosymbiotic microbes during vermicomposting tend to eliminate pathogens by enhancing enzymatic activities in both gut- and cast-associated processes. Pathogen reduction during vermicomposting can be plausibly attributed to direct actions like microbial inhibition due to intestinal enzymatic action, and secretion of coelomic fluids with antibacterial properties, as well as indirect actions like stimulation of endemic microbes leading to competition and antagonism, and aeration by burrowing activity. Further, the pathogen reduction during vermicomposting is largely selective, and earthworms exert a differential effect according to the earthworm species and whether the pathogen considered is Gram-positive or -negative, owing to its cell wall composition. However, further research is necessary to understand the exact mechanisms involved for pathogen reduction during vermistabilization of municipal and industrial organic wastes.

“…This time can be reduced to 3 months using a pretreatment with the fungus Bjerkandera adusta, followed by vermicomposting with Eisenia fetida. 54 Also, the leaf extracts of A. americana show both insecticidal and inhibitory activity against digestive proteases of Sitophilus oryzae, putatively due to the presence of phenolic compounds. 55 In other regards, erosion by wind, rain, and human and animal traffic can affect the properties of soil and, as a consequence, the efficient or optimal plant or vegetation growth.…”

Agaves are a group of succulent plants that thrive in arid or semiarid environments. Indeed, genes associated with their resilience are a potential resource for genetic engineering of other agronomically important crops grown in adverse climates. Agave is mainly used for the production of distilled (spirits) and non-distilled alcoholic beverages, including tequila, mezcal, bacanora, raicilla, and pulque, all of which have special connections to Mexican history and culture, and contribute to the Mexican economy. In recent years, there has been growing interest to maximize the use of agave plant materials for other purposes, as the bulk of their biomass pre-and post-production is wasted. In traditional practice, during the passage from fields to factories, only agave cores are used, and the leaves and bagasse are not always harnessed. To place this in perspective, during the period from 2010 to 2019, 2674.7 × 10 6 L of tequila was produced in Mexico, which required 9 607 400 tons of agave cores. This generated approximately the same amount of leaves and 3 842 960 tons of bagasse. The economic base of agave plants can be expanded if expended biomass could be transformed into products that are useful for applications in food, forage, ensilage, agriculture, medicine, energy, environment, textiles, cosmetics, and esthetics. This review focuses on the current utility of agave plants, as well as our perspective for future studies and uses of this formidable plant.

“…El compostaje es un proceso biológico aeróbico controlado, en el que intervienen numerosos microorganismos quienes destruyen la estructura molecular de los compuestos orgánicos, ocasiona cambios de temperatura y pH durante el proceso, liberando elementos nutritivos en formas asimilables para las plantas (Moran-Salazar, Marino-Marmolejo, Rodriguez-Campos, Davila- Vazquez, & Contreras-Ramos, 2016). Asimismo se produce materia orgánica estable, libre de patógenos y disponible para ser utilizada como mejorador de suelos (Antunes, Scoriza, da Silva, & Correia, 2016).…”

La investigación se realizó en 2016, en Calvillo, Aguascalientes, con el propósito de elaborar abono orgánico a partir del compostaje de los residuos orgánicos producidos en las huertas de guayabo, mediante distintas proporciones de poda (ramas molidas), estiércol de bovino; fruta de desecho y zacate nativo, se elaboraron seis compostas. Los porcentajes más altos de MO, CO y N, se obtuvieron en la composta 4 (P (33.3%) + Z (33.3%) + E (33.3%)). La CE dSm-1 y los porcentajes de K y Mg fueron mayores en composta 1 (F (50%) + E (50%)). El porcentaje de Ca resulto elevado en la composta 5 (P (50%) + E (50%)). El contenido más grande de Zn mg kg-1 y Mn mg kg-1 se registró en la composta 6 (Z (50%) + E (50%)). Se concluye que el compostaje produce un abono orgánico de calidad agronómica y puede utilizarse como mejorador físico-químico del suelo.
