“…The application of high throughput and next-generation sequencing provides new insights into obtaining microbial ecology (Harishankar et al, 2013). It reveals that the diversity of microbial species by using independent culture methods identified a higher number of microbial communities than traditional culture-based and conventional molecular methods (Bhatt et al, 2021c(Bhatt et al, ,a, 2022aMishra et al, 2021;Ahmad et al, 2022a). Therefore, a comprehensive evaluation of microbial communities within a host species plays a vital role in understanding insect physiology and their interactions with insect hosts (Armitage et al, 2022).…”

“…Agrochemicals severely effect the ecosystem through toxic residues at the application sites, such as agricultural farms, lawns and parks ( Wu et al, 2007 ). However, these compounds pose severe threats to aquatic organisms by leaching down into the groundwater and through surface runoff into lakes, rivers, and other water bodies ( Ahmad et al, 2022a ). Furthermore, when pesticides are applied to crops, horticulture areas, home lawns and school parks, many people including, children and women, animals, beneficial arthropods, birds and wildlife creatures, are seriously affected ( Masud et al, 2018 ).…”

Synthetic pesticides are extensively and injudiciously applied to control agriculture and household pests worldwide. Due to their high use, their toxic residues have enormously increased in the agroecosystem in the past several years. They have caused many severe threats to non-target organisms, including humans. Therefore, the complete removal of toxic compounds is gaining wide attention to protect the ecosystem and the diversity of living organisms. Several methods, such as physical, chemical and biological, are applied to degrade compounds, but as compared to other methods, biological methods are considered more efficient, fast, eco-friendly and less expensive. In particular, employing microbial species and their purified enzymes makes the degradation of toxic pollutants more accessible and converts them into non-toxic products by several metabolic pathways. The digestive tract of insects is usually known as a superior organ that provides a nutrient-rich environment to hundreds of microbial species that perform a pivotal role in various physiological and ecological functions. There is a direct relationship between pesticides and insect pests: pesticides reduce the growth of insect species and alter the phyla located in the gut microbiome. In comparison, the insect gut microbiota tries to degrade toxic compounds by changing their toxicity, increasing the production and regulation of a diverse range of enzymes. These enzymes breakdown into their derivatives, and microbial species utilize them as a sole source of carbon, sulfur and energy. The resistance of pesticides (carbamates, pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorines, and neonicotinoids) in insect species is developed by metabolic mechanisms, regulation of enzymes and the expression of various microbial detoxifying genes in insect guts. This review summarizes the toxic effects of agrochemicals on humans, animals, birds and beneficial arthropods. It explores the preferential role of insect gut microbial species in the degradation process and the resistance mechanism of several pesticides in insect species. Additionally, various metabolic pathways have been systematically discussed to better understand the degradation of xenobiotics by insect gut microbial species.

Treating the liquids of the organic animal urine loaded with microbial materials is highly significant. So, employing bio-activated carbon (AC) for rabbit urine purification is a major factor in avoiding and spreading diseases. The rabbit urine may be used after treating as a good bio-fertilizer. Therefore, this research aims to identify the best components for bio-filter to purify and treat rabbit urine can used. The investigated bio-filter components were: I-Two layers of filter paper + one layer of "AC" with 5.0 cm height, II-Two layers of filter paper + one layer of AC with 5.0 cm height between two layers of sand with 4.0 cm height, and III-Two layers of filter paper + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height + one layer of AC with 5.0 cm height + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height + one layer of sand with 4.0 cm height + one layer of cork with 1.5 cm height. The measurements were conducted to determine the quality of the liquid produced as standard fertilizer under different treatments in three replications. The results indicated that the possibility of applying AC, which was made from date palm kernels, as a bio-filter media. This bio-filter was acceptable with all the tested treatments due to the ability to purify impurities such as; aspect (light to clear), sedimentation, pH (5.0 to 6.0), pus cells (3.0 to 6.0), red blood cells (1.0 to 4.0), organisms (non), and colony count (non).

Strawberries have been consistently within the top 10 pesticide residue-containing commodities in the last years. In this work, the safety of ready-to-eat strawberries in terms of pesticide residues was evaluated throughout its shelf life. The effect of conventional minimal processing operations (washing, calyx removal, and disinfection) and of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on the pesticide residue content and its evolution throughout the shelf life was investigated. Different pesticides, using a validated multiresidue method, in concentration levels between 0.014 ± 0.007 and 1.78 ± 0.008 mg kg–1 were found in commercial strawberries right after harvest. Fruit calyx removal, washing, and disinfection contributed to improvement of the product safety because the pesticide residue concentration decreased up to 80% of the original value. No influence of the atmosphere on the pesticide concentration was observed. Minimal processing and MAP contributed to the chemical safety of strawberries in terms of pesticide residues, reducing the residue concentration by more than 80%, while allowing shelf life extension.
