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

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.

Cyanobacteria and Chloroflexota cooperate to structure light-responsive biofilms

Researchers studied how two types of bacteria found in hot spring mats work together to form stronger communities. When cultured alone, one bacterium moved toward light while the other moved randomly and one was better at forming sticky biofilms. When combined, the bacteria moved together toward light more effectively and created much stronger biofilms, suggesting they cooperate to build the layered structures seen in natural hot spring ecosystems.
