Summary: The effect of microbial succession on the quality and flavor of Mucor wutungkiao fermented sufu remains unclear. In this study, the changes in physicochemical properties and flavor compounds of Mucor wutungkiao-fermented sufu during fermentation were investigated using Mucor wutungkiao 40477 as a starter culture. The results revealed that the levels of amino acid nitrogen and total acid increased, and the pH, hardness, and elasticity of the sufu decreased. 17 free amino acids and 51 flavor compounds were detected, with umami amino acids and esters being the major contributors, respectively. Unclassified_f_Enterobacteriaceae, Lactococcus, and Aspergillus were the dominant microorganisms during fermentation.

Summary: This study aims to investigate the dynamics of earthworm gut microbiota during vermicomposting. The results showed that the dynamics of foregut and hindgut bacteria differed in terms of diversity, composition, and structure, which were related to changes in nutrient provision. Day 3 was a crucial turning point, with little overlap in abundant bacteria between the foregut and hindgut. At the end of vermicomposting, a stable bacterial structure appeared in the hindgut, while the foregut exhibited a more muddled structure. Understanding the dynamics of earthworm gut microbiota is essential for improving the efficiency of organic waste vermicomposting.

Summary: Pile-fermentation is a common processing step for Phyllanthus emblica L. fruit (PEF) in its producing area, which enhances its flavor and health benefits. The mechanism of pile-fermentation and the key factors impacting PEF quality were investigated, revealing acetic acid and ethyl acetate as distinguishing markers and 2-methoxy-3-isobutylpyrazine as a contributor to odor differences. Analysis also showed microbial succession and changes in differential components, which improve the quality of PEF.

Experimental findings show that the microbial changes induced by cover crops can persist until the onset of the main growing season, suggesting that cover crops have the potential to steer the soil microbiome in a way that supports sustainable crop production.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the responses of fungal communities under continuous aromatic hydrocarbon stress and found a decreasing trend in fungal diversity during the treatment. Community succession was observed, with an increase in the relative abundance of some typical degraders. Predicted functions of the fungal community suggested the importance of certain enzymes in degradation processes. The study also demonstrated the deterministic assembly process of fungal communities under continuous aromatic hydrocarbon stress, with environmental selection dominating succession.

Summary: Although the autotrophic phytoplankton and heterotrophic zooplankton are important in marine ecosystems, their interactions and spatial patterns have not been well studied at a continental scale. This study collected seawater samples along the Chinese coastline and investigated the diversity of planktonic organisms. Using a new approach called Inter-Domain Ecological Networks (IDENs), the interaction networks between phytoplankton and zooplankton were constructed. The results showed that the structure of the phyto-zooplankton network varied across different regions, with more complexity and connections in the southern coast. Additionally, specific associations between zooplankton and phytoplankton groups were found to be localized in certain regions. The seawater temperature and salinity were identified as the major driving forces shaping these planktonic interaction networks.

Summary: This study investigated fungal succession and their ecological and engineering value in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems using food waste. The results showed that fungal biomass and diversity followed a similar pattern, decreasing from the initial time point and then rising and stabilizing. The dominant fungal taxa had the potential to degrade complex organic matter and alleviate fatty acid and ammonia accumulation. The fungal community structure and composition changed during the AD process, and the assembly succession was mainly determined by environmental changes. AD bioreactors could select specific fungal taxa over time, but function prediction based on existing databases may underestimate fungal function. Overall, fungi have important ecological and engineering values in AD systems.

Summary: The linkages between phytoplankton and zooplankton are crucial for the stability of complex food webs and the flow of energy within the marine ecosystem. This study found that zooplanktonic body sizes have significant negative effects on the topological properties of phyto-zooplanktonic networks (PZNs), with smaller zooplankton associated with more complex and stable networks. Additionally, abiotic factors and environmental factors were found to significantly influence PZNs, and the relationship between zooplanktonic body sizes and environmental factors played a role in shaping network structure.

Summary: In this study, the biogeographic patterns of microeukaryotic plankton diversity, community structure, and co-occurrence patterns were investigated using environmental DNA methods. The results showed a unimodal pattern of planktonic alpha diversity with latitude, and nutrient-related factors were found to be the main drivers of spatial patterns. Additionally, significant regional biogeographic patterns and potential drivers for planktonic communities were identified, with inorganic nitrogen and heavy metals having the greatest impact. Furthermore, the study revealed that anthropogenic activity factors strongly influenced the networked topology and structure of the planktonic community.

Summary: The use of antibacterial and disinfection products has been increasing recently. This study investigated the impacts of long-term exposure to para-chloro-meta-xylenol (PCMX), a widely used antimicrobial agent, on anaerobic sequencing batch reactors. High concentration of PCMX severely inhibited the nutrient removal process, while low concentration slightly affected the removal efficiency which recovered after 120 days. PCMX inactivated the microbes and shifted the microbial communities, leading to a reduction in diversity and complexity. The study also found that PCMX affected the behavior of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), with potential risks in ecosystems.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
