TL;DR: Composting can be considered as an efficient treatment to recycle this type of wastes, due to composts presented a stable and humified organic matter and without phytotoxic effects, which makes them suitable for their agronomic use.

TL;DR: The maturity degree reached by different samples of several mixtures from winery and distillery residues composted using the Rutgers composting system is assessed by means of excitation-emission matrix (EEM) fluorescence spectroscopy by using the quantitative method of fluorescence regional integration (FRI).

TL;DR: An overview about the environmental and safety challenges of composting of manures is made considering the compost quality requirements established by the main demanding sectors and co-composting and additive strategies are presented as feasible options for the improvement of compost quality.

TL;DR: The use of reverse micelles in maintaining high activities of halophilic extremozymes under unfavourable conditions could open new fields of application such as the use of these enzymes as biocatalysts in organic media.

TL;DR: The halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei is able to grow in a minimal medium containing ammonium acetate as a carbon and nitrogen source, and α-amylase activity is excreted to the medium in low concentration.
