isolates were collected from moist soils near a water source in different areas of China. ITS sequences were submitted to MIST (Multiloci Identification System for ) and meets the [ITS] standard. Combined analyses of phylogenetic analyses of both phylograms (-α and ) and morphological characteristics, revealed five new species of , namely , , , and . Phylogenetic analyses showed and belong to the Polysporum clade, , while and belong to the Viride clade. Each new taxon formed a distinct clade in phylogenetic analysis and have unique sequences of -α and that meet the new species standard. The conidiation of typically appeared in white pustules in concentric rings on PDA or MEA and its conidia had one or few distinctly verrucose. Conidiophores of are short and rarely branched, phialides usually curved and irregularly disposed. The aerial mycelium of and formed strands to floccose mat, conidiation tardy and scattered in tufts, conidiophores repeatedly rebranching in dendriform structure. The phialides of lageniform are curved on PDA and its conidia are globose to obovoidal and large.

There are many examples in nature in which the ability to detect is combined with decision-making, such as the basic survival instinct of plants and animals to search for food. We can technically translate this innate function via the use of robotics with integrated sensors and artificial intelligence. However, the integration of sensing capabilities into robotics has traditionally been neglected due to the significant associated technical challenges.

Life at Robinson Ridge, located in the Windmill Islands region of East Antarctica, is susceptible to a changing climate. At this site, responses of the vegetation communities and moss-beds have been well researched, but corresponding information for microbial counterparts is still lacking. To bridge this knowledge gap, we established baseline data for monitoring the environmental drivers shaping the soil microbial community on the local 'hillslope' scale.

Environmental changes, such as climate warming and higher herbivory pressure, are altering the carbon balance of Arctic ecosystems; yet, how these drivers modify the carbon balance among different habitats remains uncertain. This hampers our ability to predict changes in the carbon sink strength of tundra ecosystems. We investigated how spring goose grubbing and summer warming-two key environmental-change drivers in the Arctic-alter CO fluxes in three tundra habitats varying in soil moisture and plant-community composition.

The recycling and upcycling of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the most widely used polyester plastic globally, has attracted growing attention concerning its disposal as non-degradable waste in the natural environment. Transforming end-of-life PET into (bio)degradable polyester offers a novel approach to managing its waste. In this study, we introduce a simple process capable of converting waste PET into degradable polyester, polyethylene terephthalate-polyethylene-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (PET-PECHD), by partly hydrogenating the aromatic rings (x) into aliphatic ones (y).
