Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Agricultural Soils: A Comprehensive Review of the Hidden Crisis and Exploring Control Strategies

mycolabadmin

Antibiotics used in farming and medicine are creating resistant bacteria that accumulate in soil, threatening food safety and human health through the food chain. This review explains how these resistant genes spread through soil microorganisms and presents practical solutions including special soil treatments, chemical processes, and beneficial microorganisms to reduce the problem. The authors emphasize the need for stricter regulations on antibiotic use in agriculture and better management of farm manure to protect both soil health and public health.

Scoping Review on Mitigating the Silent Threat of Toxic Industrial Waste: Eco-Rituals Strategies for Remediation and Ecosystem Restoration

mycolabadmin

This review examines how industrial waste contaminates soil and water through heavy metals and chemicals, harming ecosystems and human health through food chain contamination. The study shows that pollutants like cadmium and lead kill aquatic life, reduce soil fertility, and disrupt beneficial soil microorganisms. The review recommends solutions including cleaner manufacturing practices, advanced wastewater treatment, and eco-friendly methods like using plants to absorb contaminants.

Metabarcoding Unveils Seasonal Soil Microbiota Shifts and Their Influence on Boletus edulis and Boletus reticulatus Mycelium in Quercus robur Stands

mycolabadmin

This research studied how soil bacteria and fungi change across fall months in oak forests in Spain and how these changes relate to the growth of valuable edible mushrooms (Boletus species). Scientists used DNA analysis to identify thousands of different microorganisms in the soil. They found that September had the most diverse microbial communities, October showed a decline, and November saw partial recovery. Importantly, Boletus mycelium showed different patterns of growth depending on the month and was associated with specific beneficial bacteria and fungi.

Synergistic effects of beneficial microbial inoculants and SMS-amendments on improving soil properties and Pinus seedling growth in degraded soils

mycolabadmin

This study shows how mixing beneficial bacteria with mushroom waste can improve poor soil quality. The bacteria help break down the mushroom waste into nutrients that plants need, while also creating a healthier soil environment full of beneficial microbes. When this treated mushroom waste was added to degraded soil and used to grow pine seedlings, the plants grew taller with thicker stems and more leaves than in untreated soil. This approach offers a practical way to recycle agricultural waste while restoring damaged soils.
