Green waste was separately inoculated on day 0 and day 14 with either Trametes versicolor or Phanerochaete chrysosporium to determine their effects on composting time and compost quality. Inoculation with T. versicolor and P. chrysosporium caused more rapid and higher increases in compost temperatures, increased the duration of the thermophilic temperature stage, and reduced the maturity time. Inoculation with T. versicolor and P. chrysosporium greatly increased the quality of the final composts in terms of pH, electrical conductivity, organic matter concentration, C/N ratio, germination index, and nutrient content. Inoculation with T. versicolor and P. chrysosporium also significantly increased the degradation of lignin by 7.1% and 8.2%, respectively, and increased the degradation of cellulose by 10.6% and 13.6%, respectively.

The purpose of this work was to assess how salt-tolerant wheat endophytic fungi promoted the growth of salt-sensitive wheat after inoculation. The endophytic fungal assemblages from salt-tolerant wheat genotypes (KRL-213, KRL-210 and KRL-19) and from salt-sensitive wheat genotype (PBW-343) were characterized, identified and determined for the current study. Of the fifty fungal isolates collected from both the salt-tolerant and the salt-sensitive wheat genotypes, 8 isolates recovered from salt-tolerant varieties were found to be resistant at high salt concentrations.

The use of white-rot fungi is a promising approach for removing organophosphate flame retardants (OPFRs) from wastewaters. Immobilization in wood for this purpose ensures the predominance of the fungus but also contributes to OPFRs sorption. This work focused on the ability of T.

The human biting rate (MBR) and entomological inoculation rate (EIR) are common parameters routinely used to measure the risk of malaria transmission. Both parameters can be estimated using human landing catches (HLC). Although it is considered the gold-standard, HLC puts collectors at higher risk of infection with mosquito-transmitted pathogens.

In this work, it is presented a first approach of a mathematical and kinetic analysis for improving the decoloration and further degradation process of an azo dye named acid red 27 (AR27), by means of a novel microbial consortium formed by the fungus and the bacterium . A multivariate analysis was carried out by simulating scenarios with different operating conditions and developing a specific mathematical model based on kinetic equations describing all stages of the biological process, from microbial growth and substrate consuming to decoloration and degradation of intermediate compounds. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed by using a factorial design and the Response Surface Method (RSM), for determining individual and interactive effects of variables like, initial glucose concentration, initial dye concentration and the moment in time for bacterial inoculation, on response variables assessed in terms of the minimum time for: full decoloration of AR27 (R = 2.

The global pandemic of COVID-19, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has been developing all over the world for more than 3 years. In late 2020, several variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2 virus emerged, with increased viral fitness and transmissibility by mutations of the spike proteins of the viral particle, denting hopes of the use of early-generation vaccines for a widespread protective immunity against viral infection. The use of adjuvants may enhance the immune responses of the conventional application of the COVID-19 vaccine.
