Summary: While fish effluents have been proven as effective fertilizers for crop production, their use is prohibited in organic production according to current European regulations. This study investigated the effects of filtered and unfiltered fish effluents on onion yield, soil nutrients, and microbiome compared to composted horse manure. The addition of fish effluents, particularly unfiltered fish water or sludge, enhanced soil fertility and resulted in the highest nitrate content. Fertilization with fish effluents resulted in higher yields than the manure, highlighting their superior performance.

Summary: In this study, myxoxanthophyll glycosides were isolated from cyanobacteria and found to exist as a mixture of geometrical isomers. The absorption maxima of myxoxanthophyll were influenced by solvent properties. Organic solvents showed no specific interactions with myxoxanthophyll, while an aqueous environment promoted intermolecular interactions. The biological significance of these observations remains to be determined.

Summary: Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) are attracting increasing attention as substitutes for polluting organic solvents due to their low or absent toxicity and volatility. They can be synthesized with natural bioavailable and biodegradable molecules, and are successfully used for extracting biofunctional molecules from plant matrices. Dilution of acid-based DESs with water has shown to be efficient for extracting molecules like quercetin from onion skin.

Summary: Bacterial diseases, particularly Aeromonads, pose a significant threat to fresh water ornamental fish farming. The trend of using probiotics in aquaculture is on the rise to combat environmental degradation caused by chemical treatments. In this study, a commercial probiotic mixture of Bacillus species demonstrated efficacy in controlling Aeromonas veronii infections in koi carp, thus reducing production losses.

Summary: The use of plant growth promoting microbes (PGP) in agriculture has increased due to negative impact of chemical fertilizers. PGP microbes enhance plant growth and productivity through various mechanisms such as nitrogen fixation, phosphorus, potassium and zinc solubilization, siderophore production, and the production of plant growth regulators, hydrolytic enzymes, and phytohormones. In this study, the impact of nitrogen fixing and potassium solubilizing bacteria on the growth of onions was investigated, and positive effects on shoot length, root length, biomass, phenolic and flavanoid content, soluble sugars, and chlorophyll content were observed. Therefore, PGP microbes could be a promising alternative for fertilizers in horticultural systems and for improving nutrient availability in soil.

Summary: Fusarium basal rot (FBR), caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae (Foc), is a severe fungal disease affecting onion and allied crops worldwide. Small RNAs (sRNAs) derived from Foc were found to facilitate cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi), suppress host immune response, and increase susceptibility of onion to FBR infection.

Summary: Onions, as an important food ingredient with health benefits, are commonly used and stored in large quantities. One of the issues during onion storage is the loss caused by sprouting and peeling. This study found that onions treated with UV-C illumination had reduced weight loss and maintained higher quality during storage.

Summary: This study compared the energy efficiency calculated using ideal LHVs with that of real LHVs, revealing a 35% higher EE value for the ideal LHVs. Additionally, the IA/PA buffer index was found to be more accurate than pH for analyzing process stability, and the removal efficiency in the methanogenic phase decreased drastically when utilizing 100% of the acidogenic phase for COD.
