Primary, ancient, or old‐growth? Navigating the dimensions of ecological continuity in forests

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Ecological continuity is one of the key conditions for biodiversity conservation. However, concepts used to describe ecological continuity in forests remain poorly defined. To clarify ecological continuity, we present a framework with two temporal dimensions (ancientness and old‐growthness) and one spatial dimension (contiguity).

Comparative Analysis of Enzyme Production Patterns of Lignocellulose Degradation of Two White Rot Fungi: Obba rivulosa and Gelatoporia subvermispora

Biomolecules, 2022
The unique ability of basidiomycete white rot fungi to degrade all components of plant cell walls makes them indispensable organisms in the global carbon cycle.

Research Progress on the Degradation of Lignocellulosic by White Rot Fungi

Shipin gongye ke-ji
Lignocellulose is the most abundant renewable natural resource on the earth, but it is difficult to be degraded and utilized because of its dense fibrous structure.

Domestic composters as winter reservoirs for the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii in temperate climates

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Domestic composters enable year‐round emergence of Drosophila suzukii, buffering winter temperatures and supporting larval development, potentially enhancing overwintering survival and early‐season crop reinfestation. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii is an invasive pest established worldwide, including in temperate regions with harsh winters.

Construction and Identification of a Food-Grade Recombinant Cyberlindnera jadinii Strain Expressing Lignin Peroxidase

Applied Sciences, 2023
Lignin peroxidase is one of a series of enzymes involved in lignin degradation and is secreted by white-rot fungi. However, white-rot fungi have a long growth cycle and low enzyme activity, which limits their application.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum: a dual‐purpose biological control agent for weed and disease management in pastures and cereal crops

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A hypervirulent, endophytic, non‐sclerotial strain of the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum has enormous potential as a dual‐purpose bioherbicide/plant vaccine that is biosafe for use in pastures and cereal crops. Abstract The cosmopolitan phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary infects many dicotyledonous species, including major ...

Reintroduction of lignin-modifying enzymes in the brown-rot fungus Gloeophyllum trabeum restores ligninolytic activities but diminishes lignocellulose degradation

Fungal Biology and Biotechnology
Fungi have evolved two distinct strategies, white-rot and brown-rot, to degrade lignocellulose in plant biomass. White-rot fungi utilize lignin-modifying enzymes (LMEs) to deconstruct lignin and access carbohydrates, whereas brown-rot fungi, which arose ...

Photocatalytic and Biotechnological Strategies for Remediation of Persistent Organic Pollutants: Mechanisms, Toxicity, and Antimicrobial Perspectives

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) pose significant ecological and human health risks due to their persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and global distribution. Conventional remediation methods are often inadequate for achieving complete mineralization, demonstrating the need for advanced and substantial approaches.
