Summary: This study cloned thirty-nine cytochrome P450 genes from the T. atroviride T23 genome, with 21 of them being involved in xenobiotic degradation. The quantitative expression of these genes showed different patterns in the presence of dichlorvos at varying concentrations. Specifically, the deletion of TaCyp548-2 reduced the concentration of 2,2-dichloroethanol, indicating its role in the degradation process.

Summary: Excessive use of organophosphate pesticides poses a threat to human health. In this study, it was found that dichlorvos inhibited the growth and degradation activity of T. atroviride T23. However, T23 could release metabolites to tolerate dichlorvos stress and produce enzymes for its degradation.

Summary: The aim of this research was to address the application of a sustainable methodology for arsenic removal through mycoremediation aerated with micro-nanobubbles (MNBs), leading to bioscorodite (FeAsO4 center dot 2H(2)O) generation. The fungus Trichoderma atroviride was cultivated in a medium amended with arsenic and iron salts, leading to the synthesis of bioscorodite crystals. The results showed a 70% decrease in arsenic concentration and the successful formation of bioscorodite crystals.

Summary: Trichoderma atroviride acts as a biological control agent against fungal plant pathogens, and the perception of prey-derived signals and regulation of morphogenetic responses are crucial for successful mycoparasitism. The fungus experiences significant polarity stress when approaching its fungal preys, with responses varying depending on the prey species and interaction stage, reflecting the high selectivity of the signalling process. Deletion of MAP kinases Tmk1 and Tmk3 affects tip polarization, chemotropic growth, and contact-induced morphogenesis, underscoring the importance of a sensitive polarized tip growth apparatus for successful mycoparasitism.

Summary: Expression of the TaEPL1 gene in Arabidopsis plants confers increased resistance to bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae and necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea. The expression lines showed reduced disease symptoms and bacterial titers, as well as higher levels of SA- and JA-response genes. EPL1 can be used as an elicitor to generate crops with improved resistance to broad-spectrum diseases.

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.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of magnetite on the nitrogen cycle of pig manure biostabilisation. The addition of magnetite increased N2O emissions and decreased NH3 emissions during composting. It also increased the total nitrogen content but should be considered for its significant increase in N2O emissions in engineering practice.
