Summary: The expansion of moso bamboo has substantial effects on soil chemical characteristics and microbial community compositions, which in turn impact the forest ecosystem process. It decreases soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, litter carbon, and the carbon to nitrogen ratio, while increasing soil NH4+-N and pH. The expansion also alters the structure of soil fungal and bacterial communities. These findings are important for understanding the ecological changes following moso bamboo expansion.

Summary: Based on a long-term tillage experiment, it was found that non-inversion tillage can increase fungal denitrification activity in the upper soil layers, while reducing tillage intensity can increase the genetic potential for fungal denitrification. Different tillage regimes select for fungal denitrifiers with different functional capabilities and lifestyles, mainly by altering carbon and nitrogen related niches.

Summary: This study investigated the collaborative effect of bacteria-algae symbiosis on nutrients removal and microbial community in a solid-phase denitrification system. The results showed that corncob as a carrier had the highest removal efficiencies for total nitrogen and phosphorus, attributed to its higher organics availability. The addition of Chlorella algae promoted nitrate removal in all carriers, but only significant promotion in phosphorus removal was observed in the corncob reactor. Metagenomics sequencing analysis revealed the shift in microbial community structure with the addition of Chlorella algae.

Summary: In this study, the structure and dynamics of fungal communities in deteriorating round bamboo were investigated using high-throughput sequencing and multiple characterization methods over a period of 13 weeks. The richness of fungal communities in roofed bamboo samples increased, while it decreased in unroofed bamboo samples. Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the dominant phyla during the deterioration process. Temperature was found to be a major environmental factor affecting the variation in fungal communities. Results also showed a decrease in cell wall components and contact angle during the deterioration process, indicating lignin degradation.

Summary: In this study, the fungal communities in different soil compartments (rhizosphere vs. bulk soil) of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) and its four varieties were compared using high-throughput sequencing technology. The results showed that the fungal alpha diversity was higher in bulk soil than in rhizosphere soil, and it was not affected by bamboo variety. Both soil compartment and bamboo variety explained 31.74% of the variation in fungal community diversity. Soil compartment mainly affected the relative abundance of dominant fungal phylum, while bamboo variety primarily influenced the dominant fungal genus. Network analysis revealed that the fungal network in rhizosphere soil was more complex, stable, and interconnected compared to bulk soil. Our findings highlight the importance of soil compartments and plant species in shaping soil fungal communities.

Summary: The extensive use of organochloride pesticides in agriculture has raised concerns about their impact on soil microbial denitrification and N2O emissions. This study shows that fungal N2O emissions dominated in the absence of chlorothalonil, but chlorothalonil inhibited fungal and bacterial denitrification via different mechanisms, resulting in the increase of bacterial N2O emissions.

Summary: Biochar amendment can reduce N2O emissions from acidic soils in tea plantations. Fungi contribute more to N2O production than bacteria. Biochar amendment decreases fungal abundances and their contribution to N2O production, while increasing the abundances of N2O-related bacteria. The decrease in fungal contribution to N2O production is attributed to enhanced N2O consumption process and suppressed fungal dominance.

Summary: In this study, the phyllosphere fungal community and its influencing factors in three giant pandas foraging bamboo species were analyzed using metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that the abundance, diversity, and community structure of the fungal community were mainly affected by the season, host species, and elevation. The functional analysis revealed differences in the glycoside hydrolase community and antibiotic resistance gene profile between different seasons. This integrated study provides valuable information for the seasonal management of bamboo resources for giant pandas and predicts the risk of antibiotic resistance in bamboo phyllosphere fungal flora.

Summary: The management of a large amount of food waste, equivalent to 1.3 billion tons, is a major challenge. Bread waste (BW) is a promising feedstock for biorefineries, and this review focuses on its potential for sustainable production of important chemicals. The availability of over 100 million tons of BW as a feedstock for biorefineries is discussed, along with examples of platform chemicals produced from BW, such as ethanol, lactic acid, succinic acid, and 2,3-butanediol. The review compares BW-based production of these metabolites with other feedstocks. It also addresses logistic and supply chain challenges associated with using BW as feedstock, and concludes with a discussion on life cycle analysis and comparison with other feedstocks.

Summary: This study improves the co-production of 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-HP) and 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) by metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli and process optimization. The co-biosynthetic pathways of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO were recruited and optimized in E. coli, coupled with cofactor regeneration systems to increase product synthesis. Pathway rebalancing and block of by-product formation improved the net titer of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO. Glycerol flux towards 3-HP and 1,3-PDO synthesis was maximized by removing metabolic repression and fine-tuning the glycerol oxidation pathway. The optimized fermentation process produced 140.50 g/L of 3-HP and 1,3-PDO, with a net yield of 0.85 mol/mol.

Summary: This study investigated the digestibility of Aspergillus oryzae edible fungal biomass cultivated on VFAs derived from anaerobic digestion of residues. The results showed that the fungal biomass had higher crude protein content and similar neutral detergent fiber content compared to rapeseed meal. The digestion of the fungal biomass resulted in higher dry matter digestibility compared to hay clover silage and rapeseed meal. The study also found that the gas method could be used as a reliable predictor for digestibility and fermentation products. The high digestibility and fermentation product observed for the fungal biomass suggest that supplementing with fungal biomass can improve rumen digestion.
