Anti-Therapeutic Action: oxidative stress induction

Phyto- and Microbial-Based Remediation of Rare-Earth-Element-Polluted Soil

Rare-earth elements from mining and industry accumulate in soil, posing environmental and health risks. This review explores how plants and beneficial microorganisms can work together to clean up contaminated soil by absorbing or immobilizing these elements. The combined approach of using specific plant species alongside soil microorganisms is more effective than using either method alone, offering a natural and cost-effective solution for soil remediation.

Modulation of Abortiporus biennis Response to Oxidative Stress by Light as a New Eco-Friendly Approach with a Biotechnological Perspective

Researchers studied how different colored lights and a chemical called menadione affect a white rot fungus called Abortiporus biennis. They found that combining red light with menadione significantly increased the fungus’s metabolic activity and production of useful compounds like laccase, an enzyme with industrial and medical applications. The study shows that using simple, eco-friendly stressors like colored light could help boost the fungus’s beneficial properties for practical use.

A bibliometric analysis of fungal volatile organic compounds

Fungi release distinctive smells made up of volatile compounds that help them communicate with plants, bacteria, and other organisms. These fungal smell chemicals have grown from being studied mainly in wine fermentation to being explored for helping crops grow better, fighting plant diseases naturally, and creating food flavors without chemicals. This research shows that understanding how fungi use these smell chemicals could lead to more sustainable farming practices and natural alternatives to harmful pesticides.
