In a controlled experiment, we assessed the effect of phosphate-solubilizing bacterium (PSB) on the soil metal (Cu) phytoremediation by Wedelia trilobata and examined the effect of the interaction of Cu contamination and PSB on the growth of W. trilobata. We also explored the effect of the interaction of Cu contamination and PSB on the soil microflora. The results showed that the removal efficiency of Cu from soil by W. trilobata increased with an increase in the concentration of PSB, and the translocation factors of Cu (i.e., leaf:root and stem:root) were both significantly upregulated by PSB. The PSB significantly promoted the growth of W. trilobata; however, the effect of the Cu-PSB interaction on the leaf net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of W. trilobata was not significant, whereas copper contamination had a significant negative influence on the soil microflora, PSB had a significant positive influence on the soil microflora. Thus, PSB improved the phytoremediation efficiency of W. trilobata in Cu-contaminated soil because of the positive influence on the soil microflora, improving soil quality, which then increased the growth of W. trilobata in Cu-contaminated soil. The vigorous growth of W. trlobata led to higher of Cu absorption and translocation from soil as the ultimate result.

Introduction: Thinning is a common practice to enhance tree growth, but its effect on rhizosphere soil microorganisms in subtropical secondary evergreen broadleaved forests remains unclear.
Methods: This study used 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing to explore soil microflora of five shrubs and five tree species.
Results: The results showed that thinning altered nutrient distribution and pH in rhizosphere soil, impacting microbial richness, which varied by tree species.

Organic raw materials are the renewable sources of substrates for our industries and for our microbial communities. As industrial, agricultural or forestry side streams, they are usually affordable if the process entities, equipment and protocols are properly designed. The microbial communities that are used as biocatalysts take care of the process development together with us or with the process team.

Xylooligosaccharides (XOS) are excellent prebiotic which improve health through selective modulation of beneficial gut microbiome. Its production from agroresidues using microbial xylanase is considered as sustainable and economic approach. In this study a xylanase producing bacterium isolated from decaying wood soil was phylogenetically identified and designated as Bacillus stercoris DWS1.

Article Synopsis
- A new bioremediation material (BHF@DK-P3) combining humic acid, iron-modified corn stover biochar, and beneficial bacteria was developed to tackle contamination from DBP residues in black soils.
- The included microbiota, consisting of DBP-degrading and nutrient-solubilizing bacteria, formed a strong partnership that enhanced soil health and nutrient availability.
- The application of BHF@DK-P3 improved soil structure and nutrient levels, increasing available phosphorus by 21.45%, potassium by 12.54%, and nitrogen by 14.74%, while stabilizing microbial functions under DBP and pH stress.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) are widely applied across multiple industries and ultimately accumulate in water and soil environments, raising significant concern about their toxicity to organisms in various ecosystems. While the effects of ZnONPs on microflora have been reported, their ecotoxicity to specific biogeochemical process and microbial activities and metabolic functions remains relatively unclear. In this study, a 56-day microcosmic experiment was conducted to explore the toxicity mechanism of ZnONPs (1000 mg kg soil) on straw decomposition, soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization, and changes in microbial activities and functions in agricultural soil with general wheat straw incorporation using the C isotope tracer technique.
