Maintaining ocean ecosystem health with hydrocarbonoclastic microbes

mycolabadmin

Oil spills and petroleum pollution threaten ocean health worldwide. Special bacteria and archaea called hydrocarbonoclastic microorganisms naturally break down oil hydrocarbons in seawater, sediments, and Arctic regions. Scientists are improving cleanup strategies by understanding how these microbes work and combining natural degradation with engineered approaches like adding nutrients and biosurfactants.

Searching for Chemical Agents Suppressing Substrate Microbiota in White-Rot Fungi Large-Scale Cultivation

mycolabadmin

This research addresses a practical challenge in growing edible mushrooms and using fungi to clean polluted materials: unwanted bacteria and molds prevent beneficial white-rot fungi from growing. Scientists tested various cheap chemicals to find which ones kill unwanted microbes while letting white-rot fungi thrive. They discovered that hydrogen peroxide at 1.5-3% concentration works best, effectively eliminating competing microorganisms without harming the desired fungi, making large-scale mushroom farming and pollution cleanup more feasible and economical.

Phytostabilization of Heavy Metals and Fungal Community Response in Manganese Slag under the Mediation of Soil Amendments and Plants

mycolabadmin

This research shows that adding spent mushroom compost and a mineral amendment called attapulgite to contaminated mining waste, combined with planting a hardy tree species, significantly reduces heavy metal pollution. The tree and amendments work together by improving soil quality and promoting beneficial fungi that help stabilize harmful metals in the soil, preventing them from leaching into groundwater and surrounding ecosystems.
