Fungal endophytes are recognized as an essential source of bioactive compounds. Besides producing a wide variety of compounds, fungal endophytes can also facilitate a biotransformation process. In this process, endophytes act as an enzyme source to catalyze chemical reactions and modify the structures of bioactive compounds.

Article Synopsis
  • A healthy ocean significantly contributes to human well-being by providing essential resources like medicines, food, and recreational opportunities, but its benefits are often overlooked.
  • Climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity, and social inequities pose serious threats to both ocean health and human health.
  • To harness the ocean's health benefits sustainably, there must be a focus on equitable partnerships, enforcement of laws, and attention to human rights, social justice, and sustainability, with the healthcare sector playing a key role in this initiative.

Unlabelled: The COVID-19 pandemic has considerable mental health impacts. Immersive nature-based interventions, such as swimming or snorkeling, may help mitigate the global mental health crisis caused by the pandemic. To investigate this, we collected cross-sectional data from residents of coastal villages (n = 308) in Kepulauan Selayar, Indonesia.

Despite a growing interest in interdisciplinary research, systematic ways of how to integrate data from different disciplines are still scarce. We argue that successful resource management relies on two key data sources: natural science data, which represents ecosystem structure and processes, and social science data, which describes people's perceptions and understanding. Both are vital, mutually complementing information sources that can underpin the development of feasible and effective policies and management interventions.

A bloom of the non-toxic cyanobacterium Romeria elegans in waste stabilisation ponds (WSPs) within Angaston waste water treatment plant (WWTP) has posed an unprecedented treatment challenge for the local water utility. The water from the WSPs is chlorinated for safety prior to reuse on nearby farmland. Cyanobacteria concentrations of approximately 1.

In conventional water treatment processes, where the coagulation and flocculation steps are designed to remove particles from drinking water, cyanobacteria are also concentrated into the resultant sludge. As a consequence, cyanobacteria-laden sludge can act as a reservoir for metabolites such as taste and odour compounds and cyanotoxins. This can pose a significant risk to water quality where supernatant from the sludge treatment facility is returned to the inlet to the plant.
