DNA damage repair is a crucial cellular mechanism for rectifying DNA lesions arising during growth and development. Among the various repair pathways, postreplication repair (PRR) plays a pivotal role in resolving single-stranded gaps induced by DNA damage. However, the contribution of PRR to virulence remains elusive in the fungal pathogen .

DNA damage checkpoints are essential for coordinating cell cycle arrest and gene transcription during DNA damage response. Exploring the targets of checkpoint kinases in and other fungi has expanded our comprehension of the downstream pathways involved in DNA damage response. While the function of checkpoint kinases, specifically Rad53, is well documented in the fungal pathogen , their targets remain poorly understood.

Article Synopsis
  • Dry anaerobic digestion (dry-AD) can handle high-solid materials but faces challenges like blockages and inhibition, limiting its use.
  • Researchers developed new continuous dry co-digestion systems in the lab and pilot stages, analyzing factors like digestate recirculation and the ratio of cow dung to corn straw to improve performance.
  • The best results were achieved with a total solids (TS) content of 30%, cow dung to corn straw ratio of 1:3, and a recirculation ratio of 40%, yielding a daily biogas production rate of 0.386 NL/d/g VS, while increasing protein-producing microbes also supported better biogas output.

The composition of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion (AD) is typically not ideal due to high CO content. In the study, cottonwood biochar was used as an enhanced mediator for the continuously stirred tank reactor AD of cornstalk. The effects of substrate loading and biochar dosage on biogas composition, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), NH-N, and microbial community characteristics were systematically explored.

This study conducted a small scale, push flow, continuous, dry anaerobic digestion experiment using 50% and 60% digestate recirculation ratios to investigate the effects of digestate recirculation ratio on continuous dry anaerobic digestion and to analyze microbial community succession. The results showed that the volumetric biogas production rate could reach 1.6 L/L·d during the 60% digestate recirculation ratio.
