Degradation of Dyes by Fungi: A Bibliometric Study and Bibliographic Review

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.
ABSTRACT The degradation of dyes from textile effluents is considered a major challenge due to their high potential for environmental contamination and health risks due to their toxicity. In this sense, the use of fungi for the degradation of these compounds is reported in the literature as an ecological alternative with great potential.

Airborne Halophilic and Non‐Halophilic Microbial Communities in an Underground Salt Mine Affected by Seasonal Environmental Fluctuations

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.
This study tests seasonal controls on airborne microbes in the UNESCO‐listed Bochnia Salt Mine. In summer, relative humidity exceeded the halite deliquescence threshold, coinciding with higher NaCl aerosol and greater densities of halophilic microbes; in winter, humidity stayed below deliquescence and halophilic microbes declined at least 13‐fold while
