Some ions in soils may affect the growth and metabolism of microorganisms and subsequently alter the remediation efficiency of Cr(VI). Here, the effects of different Ca and SO levels on the reduction of Cr(VI) by Penicillium oxalicum SL2 were investigated. The results showed that Cr(VI) reduction by P. oxalicum SL2 in potato dextrose liquid (PDL) medium was accelerated by the presence of exogenous Ca and SO. The Cr(VI) reduction rates were increased by 52.5% (200 mg L Ca treated) and 55.9% (2000 mg L SO treated), respectively. High concentration of Ca in medium resulted in the production of calcium oxalate crystals, which was contributed to the adsorption of chromium. In addition, X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) analysis showed that P. oxalicum SL2 could reduce the toxicity of Cr(VI) by synthesizing cysteine (Cys) and reduced glutathione (GSH). The decrease of thiol compounds (Cys and GSH) in P. oxalicum SL2 mycelia treated with SO proved the alleviation of oxidative stress. In conclusion, exogenous Ca could reduce the damage of Cr(VI) to P. oxalicum SL2 by maintaining the integrity of cell wall, and the addition of SO alleviated the Cr(VI) toxicity to P. oxalicum SL2, thus accelerating the reduction of Cr(VI).

The exploration of microbial resources to reduce Pb accumulation in rice attracted great attention. In this study, we found Penicillium oxalicum SL2, a Pb-tolerant strain with good capability of dissolving phosphorus and stabilizing Pb in soil, was able to colonize on the root surface of rice seedlings without additional carbon sources, and promoted the secretion of metabolites related to amino acid metabolism, organic acid metabolism, signal transduction and other pathways in rhizosphere exudates, in which the secretion of oxalate increased by 47.7 %.

Article Synopsis
- Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) struggles with Cr(VI) remediation due to issues like aggregation, but a filamentous fungus (SL2) shows promise by activating nZVI for effective chromium removal.
- The combined action of SL2 and nZVI achieved high Cr(VI) removal rates (89.1%) through nonenzymatic reduction processes and the solubilization of iron precipitates.
- SL2's adaptations, like enhancing organic acid secretion and regulating iron transport, help in reducing Cr(VI) levels, while also providing antioxidant effects that protect the fungus from Cr(VI) toxicity, making this combined method a viable strategy for environmental cleanup.

Article Synopsis
- Penicillium oxalicum SL2 shows potential for bioremediation of lead (Pb) contamination by affecting Pb morphology and stressing responses to Pb exposure.
- The study found that Pb stabilization varies based on nutrient availability: with sufficient phosphorus, Pb stabilizes as Pb(PO) or Pb(PO)Cl; with sulfur sufficiency, it forms PbSO; and with deficiencies in both, it turns into PbCO.
- Proteomic and metabolomic analyses revealed 578 proteins and 194 metabolites linked to Pb tolerance in P. oxalicum SL2, highlighting processes like chitin synthesis and sulfur metabolism which enhance Pb stabilization through various mechanisms.
