Among pollution remediation technologies, advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are genuinely efficient since they are based on the production of strong, non-selective oxidants, mainly hydroxyl radicals (·OH), by a set of physicochemical methods. The biological counterparts of AOPs, which may be referred to as advanced bio-oxidation processes (ABOPs), have begun to be investigated since the mechanisms of induction of ·OH production in fungi are known. To contribute to the development of ABOPs, advanced oxidation of a wide number of dyes by the white-rot fungus , via a quinone redox cycling (QRC) process based on Fenton's reagent formation, has been described for the first time.

Article Synopsis
  • * Whole-genome sequencing of 14 ST196 isolates revealed significant genetic variability, with 30 to 52 single nucleotide polymorphisms leading to eight distinct sublineages and identifying a novel prophage possibly involved in genetic changes.
  • * The research adds to existing genomic databases and suggests that Swiss B. hyodysenteriae strains of the same type may have independently evolved, highlighting the complexity of their genetic landscape and potential for horizontal gene transfer.
