A Synergistic Role of Photosynthetic Bacteria and Fungal Community in Pollutant Removal in an Integrated Aquaculture Wastewater Bioremediation System

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how a combination of photosynthetic bacteria and naturally occurring fungi can work together to clean aquaculture wastewater effectively. The integrated treatment system successfully removed over 87% of harmful nitrogen and phosphorus compounds. The findings show that fungi play an important but previously overlooked role in wastewater treatment and could offer a cost-effective, sustainable solution for farms.

Occurrence and Distribution of Antibiotics and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in the Water and Sediments of Reservoir-Based Drinking Water Sources in Henan, China

mycolabadmin

This study examined three drinking water reservoirs in China to understand how antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread through water and sediment. Researchers found that mobile genetic elements (like integrons) play a bigger role than antibiotics themselves in spreading resistance genes among bacteria. One reservoir, Jian’gang, naturally removed most resistance genes as water flowed through, suggesting its natural purification processes are quite effective. Understanding how these factors work together helps protect drinking water supplies from antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Arbuscular Mycorrhizal and Trichoderma longibrachiatum Enhance Soil Quality and Improve Microbial Community Structure in Albic Soil Under Straw Return

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that combining two beneficial soil fungi—arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and Trichoderma longibrachiatum—significantly improved poor quality albic soils when straw was returned to fields. The combined treatment increased soil pH, nutrients, and enzyme activity while promoting beneficial bacteria like Sphingomonas. This microbial approach offers farmers a sustainable, environmentally friendly way to restore degraded soils and improve agricultural productivity in regions with challenging soil conditions.

Temporal changes in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi communities and their driving factors in Xanthoceras sorbifolium plantations

mycolabadmin

This study examined how fungal communities associated with plant roots change as Xanthoceras sorbifolium tree plantations age from 5 to 56 years old. Researchers found that these beneficial fungi form strong partnerships with the trees at all ages, with the dominant fungus Glomus gradually becoming more abundant over time. The composition and diversity of these fungal communities are primarily influenced by soil properties like pH and carbon content, as well as by characteristics of plant roots and decomposing leaf litter.

Effects of food waste mulch on the physicochemical quality and fungal community diversities of desert soil in Southeast Iran

mycolabadmin

Researchers tested whether mulch made from food waste could improve desert soil in Iran. They mixed food waste with clay and water, then spread it on desert plots over five months. The mulch significantly increased organic matter and beneficial fungi in the soil, helping to stabilize the desert sand and potentially reduce both food waste and soil erosion. This approach could provide a sustainable solution for desert regions worldwide.
