In this study, an iron scrap (IS)-based ecological floating bed was constructed to couple with plant biomass (FeB-EFB) for treating low-polluted water, and the nitrogen removal performance and mechanism were explored. The results showed that the nitrogen could be effectively removed in FeB-EFB, and the nitrate removal efficiency was 29.14 ± 8.06% even at a low temperature (13.9 ± 2.2 °C). After the temperature rose to 20.0 ± 0.9 °C, the denitrification rate was increased by 0.63 ± 0.16-0.81 ± 0.27 g/(m d) due to the synergistic effect of ISs and plant biomass. Plant biomass could promote the ISs release efficiency, while ISs could facilitate plant biomass availability by promoting cellulose decomposition. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed that the iron-oxidizing bacteria Pseudomonas were the dominant genus in FeB-EFB. Meanwhile, the existence of plant biomass could increase the abundance of iron-related bacteria and enrich heterotrophic and facultative denitrifying bacteria (e.g., Hydrogenophaga, Comamonas) as well, improving iron-mediated denitrification and heterotrophic denitrification simultaneously. Therefore, mixotrophic denitrification improvement played a major role in promoting nitrogen removal of FeB-EFB. These results indicated that coupling iron scraps with plant biomass may be an effective way to improve the nitrogen removal performance of EFB.

Sustainable management of textile industrial wastewater is one of the severe challenges in the current regime. It has been reported that each year huge amount of textile industry discharge especially the dye released into the environment without pre-treatment that adversely affect the human health and plant productivity. In the present study, different bacterial isolates had been isolated from the industrial effluents and investigated for their bioremediation potential against the malachite green (MG) dye, a major pollutant of textile industries.

Second-generation (2G) bioethanol production, derived from lignocellulosic biomass, has emerged as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels by addressing growing energy demands and environmental concerns. Fungal sugar transporters (STs) play a critical role in this process, enabling the uptake of monosaccharides such as glucose and xylose, which are released during the enzymatic hydrolysis of biomass. This mini-review explores recent advances in the structural and functional characterization of STs in filamentous fungi and yeasts, highlighting their roles in processes such as cellulase induction, carbon catabolite repression, and sugar signaling pathways.

With climate change, the frequency of regions experiencing water scarcity is increasing annually, posing a significant challenge to crop yield. Barley, a staple crop consumed and cultivated globally, is particularly susceptible to the detrimental effects of drought stress, leading to reduced yield production. Water scarcity adversely affects multiple aspects of barley growth, including seed germination, biomass production, shoot and root characteristics, water and osmotic status, photosynthesis, and induces oxidative stress, resulting in considerable losses in grain yield and its components.

Maximizing saccharification efficiency of lignocellulose and minimizing the production costs associated with enzyme requirements are crucial for sustainable biofuel production. This study presents a novel semi-fed-batch saccharification method that uses a co-culture of and strain A9 to efficiently break down high solid-loading lignocellulosic biomass without the need for any external enzymes. This method optimizes saccharification efficiency and enhances glucose production from alkaline-treated rice straw, a representative lignocellulosic biomass.
