Summary Dead fungal biomass is an abundant source of nutrition in both litter and soil of temperate forests largely decomposed by bacteria. Here, we have examined the utilization of dead fungal biomass by the five dominant bacteria isolated from the in situ decomposition of fungal mycelia using a multiOMIC approach. The genomes of the isolates encoded a broad suite of carbohydrate‐active enzymes, peptidases and transporters. In the extracellular proteome, only Ewingella americana expressed chitinases while the two Pseudomonas isolates attacked chitin by lytic chitin monooxygenase, deacetylation and deamination. Variovorax sp. expressed enzymes acting on the side‐chains of various glucans and the chitin backbone. Surprisingly, despite its genomic potential, Pedobacter sp. did not produce extracellular proteins to decompose fungal mycelia but presumably feeds on simple substrates. The ecological roles of the five individual strains exhibited complementary features for a fast and efficient decomposition of dead fungal biomass by the entire bacterial community.

There is an emerging environmental awareness and social concern regarding the environmental impact of the textile industry, highlighting the growing need for developing green and sustainable approaches throughout this industry’s supply chain. Upstream, due to population growth and the rise in consumption of textile fibers, new sustainable raw materials and processes must be found. Cellulose presents unique structural features, being the most important and available renewable resource for textiles. The physical and chemical modification reactions yielding fibers are of high commercial importance today. Recently developed technologies allow the production of filaments with the strongest tensile performance without dissolution or any other harmful and complex chemical processes. Fibers without solvents are thus on the verge of commercialization. In this review, the technologies for the production of cellulose-based textiles, their surface modification and the recent trends on sustainable cellulose sources, such as bacterial nanocellulose, are discussed. The life cycle assessment of several cellulose fiber production methods is also discussed.

“…Figure 16 shows that there are many kinds of nerve repair materials without obvious concentration, among which chitosan and cellulose have become the hot spots in recent years. Interestingly, these two materials are the two most abundant polymers in nature [ 351 , 352 ]. Cellulose is a natural polymer produced by photosynthesis and is the most abundant polymer in nature.…”

In recent years, nanomaterials have aroused extensive research interest in the world's material science community. Electrospinning has the advantages of wide range of available raw materials, simple process, small fiber diameter and high porosity. Electrospinning as a nanomaterial preparation technology with obvious advantages has been studied, such as its influencing parameters, physical models and computer simulation. In this review, the influencing parameters, simulation and models of electrospinning technology are summarized. In addition, the progresses in applications of the technology in biomedicine, energy and catalysis are reported. This technology has many applications in many fields, such as electrospun polymers in various aspects of biomedical engineering. The latest achievements in recent years are summarized, and the existing problems and development trends are analyzed and discussed.
