The paper describes three Penicillium verruculosum 28K mutants with about threefold enhanced production of five industrially important carbohydrases. The two-stage fermentation process that we developed provided a further two- to threefold increase in the production of carbohydrases. Physiological and biochemical studies showed that the synthesis of all five carbohydrases is inducible. Carboxymethylcellulase, xylanase, and beta-glucanase are synthesized under a common regulatory control, as is evident from the concurrent increase in the synthesis of these enzymes in the presence of microcrystalline cellulose. The synthesis of avicelase and beta-glucosidase is evidently induced by other cellulose- and hemicellulose-containing compounds present in the fermentation medium and, hence, is regulated independently of the three aforementioned enzymes.

The filamentous fungus (anamorph ) has been shown to be an efficient producer of secreted cellulases, used in biorefinery processes. Understanding the mechanisms of regulation of cellulase gene expression in the fungus is a current task in industrial biotechnology, since it allows for targeted changes in the composition of the complex secreted by the fungus. Expression of cellulase genes in fungi is regulated mainly at the level of transcription via pathway-specific transcription factors (TF), the majority of which belong to the Zn(II)2Cys6 family of zinc binuclear cluster proteins.

Background/objectives: Many fungi related to can degrade a wide range of pollutants and are widely distributed globally. SJ9 was enriched from fresh strawberry inter-root soil to yield fungi capable of degrading tetracycline, enrofloxacin, and tylosin.
Methods: SJ9 genome was sequenced, assembled, and annotated in this study utilizing bioinformatics software, PacBio, and the Illumina NovaSeq PE150 technology.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how the AMF species Rhizophagus intraradices affects bacterial communities and metabolic functions in the rhizosphere of aluminum-sensitive soybeans grown in acidic soil, particularly when inoculated with other fungi.
- Results showed that while the AMF and other fungal inoculations did not significantly change soil nutrient levels or specific plant traits, they did alter the composition and function of local bacterial communities.
- Notably, co-inoculation led to an increase in beneficial bacteria associated with stress responses and improved plant resistance, as well as heightened antifungal activity within the soil environment.

The symbiosis between endophytic fungi and plants can promote the absorption of potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and other nutrients by plants. Phosphorus is one of the indispensable nutrient elements for plant growth and development. However, the content of available phosphorus in soil is very low, which limits the growth of plants.
