Composting has made it practicable to dispose electrolytic manganese residues (EMR) in a less toxic way, nevertheless, the decomposition and the loss of nitrogen is a critical issue. This study aimed to investigate the role of Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PC) inoculation on nitrogen migration and promotion of decomposing organic matter (OM), as well as the effect on bacterial community structure during EMR composting. The results exhibited that nitrogen loss tallied with the first-order kinetic model. PC inoculation increased the relative microbial abundance of Firmicutes, which improved the efficiency of nitrogen nitrification and OM degradation, and increased the germination index and total nitrogen content by 13.8% and 2.95 g/kg, respectively. Moreover, aromatic benzenes replaced heteropolysaccharides, alcohols and ethers as the main components of OM in fertilizer, leading up to a more stable humus structure. This study provides a rationale and a novel perspective on the resource and nutrient conservation of EMR-contaminated soils.

Copper-azole based formulations have been widely used to protect wood timbers against fungal decay. While these treatments are efficient for wood protection, leaching of both copper and azoles into the environment has deleterious impact on soils and surface waters. No bioremediation process is currently available for disposable of these wood wastes.

Article Synopsis
- White-rot fungi, like Phanerochaete chrysosporium, are essential for breaking down lignocellulosic biomass, which includes important components like cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, thus contributing to the carbon cycle.
- These fungi use various enzymes—such as lignin peroxidases and cytochrome P450 monooxygenases—to degrade lignin and its derivatives, though more research is needed to fully understand the metabolic pathways involved.
- The metabolic flexibility of these fungi allows them to adapt their enzyme production, specifically through the interplay of key pathways, enhancing their efficiency in degrading lignin for potential biotechnological applications.

Plant metabolites have a great potential for limiting the spread of harmful fungi. However, a better understanding of the mode-of-action of these molecules and the defense systems developed by fungi to resist them, is needed to assess the benefits/risks of using them as antifungal treatment. White-rot fungi are excellent models in this respect, as they have adapted to the hostile habitat that is wood.
