As farming practices evolve and climate conditions shift, achieving sustainable food production for a growing global population requires innovative strategies to optimize environmentally friendly practices and minimize ecological impacts. Agroecosystems, which integrate agricultural practices with the surrounding environment, play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and ensuring food security. Rhizosphere management has emerged as a pivotal approach to enhancing crop yields, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers, and supporting sustainable agriculture.

Biosorption performance toward Co(II) and Cd(II) by irradiated Fusarium solani biomass.

Environ Geochem Health

January 2025

Soil and Water Research Department, Nuclear Research Center, Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority, Cairo, 13759, Egypt.

Fusarium solani biomass plays a significant role in water pollution remediation due to its ability to sequester heavy metals, particularly cobalt (Co(II)) and cadmium (Cd(II)), which pose severe environmental and health risks. This study aimed to identify fungi from sewage-contaminated sites and evaluate their efficiency in absorbing and reducing Co(II) and Cd(II) ions. The biosorption potential of irradiated Fusarium solani biomass for removing Co(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions was investigated.

To overtake competitors, microbes produce and secrete secondary metabolites that kill neighbouring cells and sequester nutrients. This metabolite-mediated competition probably evolved in complex microbial communities in the presence of viral pathogens. We therefore hypothesized that microbes secrete natural products that make competitors sensitive to phage infection.

The Response Mechanism of the cbbM Carbon Sequestration Microbial Community in the Alpine Wetlands of Qinghai Lake to Changes in Precipitation.

Biology (Basel)

December 2024

Qinghai Province Key Laboratory of Physical Geography and Environmental Process, College of Geographical Science, Qinghai Normal University, Xining 810008, China.

The dramatic changes in precipitation patterns on the Tibetan Plateau affected the carbon-sequestering microbial communities within wetland ecosystems, which were closely related to the responses and adaptation mechanisms of alpine wetland ecosystems to climate change. This study focused on wetland soils subjected to different precipitation gradient treatments and employed high-throughput sequencing technology to analyze the soil cbbM carbon-sequestering microbial communities. The results indicated that Proteobacteria were the dominant microbial community responsible for carbon sequestration in the Wayan Mountain wetland.

The efficacy of ferrihydrite in remediating Cd-contaminated soil is tightly regulated by Fe(II)-induced mineralogical transformations. Despite the common coexistence of iron minerals such as goethite and lepidocrocite, which can act as templates for secondary mineral formation, the impact of these minerals on Fe(II)-induced ferrihydrite transformation and the associated Cd fate have yet to be elucidated. Herein, we investigated the simultaneous evolution of secondary minerals and Cd speciation during Fe(II)-induced ferrihydrite transformation in the presence of goethite versus lepidocrocite.
