“…The effect of FBs on other edible organisms or other food can be beneficial as well as disruptive for human well‐being. Examples for beneficial ES effects include the use of FBs, including non‐native species, as chicken feeds (McLaughlan, Rose & Aldridge, 2014; Bayerle et al ., 2017), as diffusers of antibiotic resistance in trout aquaculture (Sicuro et al ., 2020), and – in the form of shell powder – as antimicrobial agents in soybean curd preservation (Yang et al ., 2019). Disruptive effects in this respect mostly refer to non‐native FBs, including the observed decrease of commercially harvested fish following introduction of Dreissena spp.…”

“…Laboratory experiments in Italy provided similar results for the non‐native D. polymorpha , which almost completely removed E. coli from the water (Mezzanotte et al ., 2016). Also in Italy, mesocosm experiments showed that integration of the non‐native unionid S. woodiana can reduce the environmental impacts of inland trout farming in terms of reducing total bacterial concentrations by up to 72% (Sicuro et al ., 2020).…”

Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise the global evidence on ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalves, a heterogenous group of >1200 species, including some of the most threatened (in Unionida) and invasive (e.g. Dreissena polymorpha) taxa globally. Our systematic literature review resulted in a data set of 904 records from 69 countries relating to 24 classes of provisioning (N = 189), cultural (N = 491) and regulating (N = 224) services following the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES). Prominent ecosystem services included (i) the provisioning of food, materials and medicinal products, (ii) knowledge acquisition (e.g. on water quality, past environments and historical societies), ornamental and other cultural contributions, and (iii) the filtration, sequestration, storage and/or transformation of biological and physico-chemical water properties. About 9% of records provided evidence for the disruption rather than provision of ecosystem services. Synergies and trade-offs of ecosystem services were observed. For instance, water filtration by freshwater bivalves can be beneficial for the cultural service 'biomonitoring', while negatively or positively affecting food

Benzonitrile is a compound found in pesticides. The use of these pesticides can cause environmental contamination, and the search for non-aggressive methods to eliminate these residues is necessary. In this study, fungi Aspergillus isolated from cocoa were investigated for their benzonitrile bioremediation potential. The fungi were cultured in a solid medium supplemented with nitrile and glucose (a), nitrile (b), and glucose (c). Independent variables: time, inoculum, and nitrile were optimized using a central composite design to determine the best microbial growth and wet biomass (dependent variable) as a response in the bioremediation process. A. niger Tiegh 8285 showed good adaptation, especially in situation b in nitrile 5 days, 3 mycelial inoculums and 54 μL of benzonitrile for microbial growth, resulting in 1.83 ± 0.03 g of wet biomass, confirming the efficiency of the selected mathematical model. A. niger Tiegh 8285 proved to be a promising bioremediation agent for benzonitrile.
