“…A sustainable increase in the human population and the global reduction in the agricultural area force the requirement for higher plant yields (per unit area) with enhanced quality ( Shah et al, 2021 ). However, extensive agriculture for food supplementation and the toxic negative effect of industrial discharge are challenged by numerous milestones that restrict the continuous food supply and result in significant financial losses ( Abd El-Rahim et al, 2016 ; Saeed et al, 2021 ). Plant viral infection is a dominant agriculture challenge that adversely affects yield and quality ( Abdelkhalek and Hafez, 2020 ).…”

Rhizobium spp. manifests strong nitrogen fixation ability in legumes. However, their significance as biocontrol agents and antivirals has rarely been investigated. Under greenhouse conditions, the molecularly identified nitrogen-fixing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae strain 33504-Alex1, isolated from the root nodules of faba bean plants, was tested as a soil inoculum or a foliar application to trigger faba bean plants’ resistance against Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) infection. Compared to the non-treated faba bean plants, the applications of 33504-Alex1 in either soil or foliar application significantly promoted growth and improved total chlorophyll content, resulting in a considerable reduction in disease incidence and severity and the inhibition index of BYMV in the treated faba bean plants. Furthermore, the protective activities of 33504-Alex1 were associated with significant reductions in non-enzymatic oxidative stress markers [hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA)] and remarkably increased DPPH free radical scavenging activity and total phenolic content compared to the BYMV treatment at 20 days post-inoculation. Additionally, an increase in reactive oxygen species scavenging enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO)] and induced transcriptional levels of pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins (PR-1, PR-3, and PR-5) were observed. Of the 19 polyphenolic compounds detected in faba bean leaves by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis, gallic and vanillic acids were completely shut down in BYMV treatment. Interestingly, the 33504-Alex1 treatments were associated with the induction and accumulation of the most detected polyphenolic compounds. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis showed hexadecanoic acid 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, tetraneurin-A-Diol, oleic acid, and isochiapin B are the major compounds in the ethyl acetate extract of 33504-Alex1 culture filtrate (CF), suggesting it acts as an elicitor for the induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in faba bean plants. Consequently, the capacity of R. leguminosarum bv. viciae strain 33504-Alex1 to enhance plant growth and induce systemic resistance to BYMV infection will support the incorporation of 33504-Alex1 as a fertilizer and biocontrol agent and offer a new strategy for crop protection, sustainability, and environmental safety in agriculture production.

Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) is one of the most extensively used plasticizers for providing elasticity to plastics. Being potentially harmful to humans, investigating eco-benign options for its rapid degradation is imperative. Microbe-mediated DBP mineralization is well-recorded, but studies on the pollutant’s fungal catabolism remain scarce. Thus, the present investigation was undertaken to exploit the fungal strains from toxic sanitary landfill soil for the degradation of DBP. The most efficient isolate, SDBP4, identified on a molecular basis as Aspergillus flavus, was able to mineralize 99.34% dibutyl phthalate (100 mg L−1) within 15 days of incubation. It was found that the high production of esterases by the fungal strain was responsible for the degradation. The strain also exhibited the highest biomass (1615.33 mg L−1) and total soluble protein (261.73 µg mL−1) production amongst other isolates. The DBP degradation pathway scheme was elucidated with the help of GC-MS-based characterizations that revealed the formation of intermediate metabolites such as benzyl-butyl phthalate (BBP), dimethyl-phthalate (DMP), di-iso-butyl-phthalate (DIBP) and phthalic acid (PA). This is the first report of DBP mineralization assisted with A. flavus, using it as a sole carbon source. SDBP4 will be further formulated to develop an eco-benign product for the bioremediation of DBP-contaminated toxic sanitary landfill soils.

This work depicts that rice straw (RS), which is one of the major lignocellulosic wastes all over the world and causing many environmental problems, has considerable amounts of protein, ash, macronutrients, and micronutrients of approximately 11.38%, 16.77%, 2.27 mg/kg, and 771.9 mg/kg, respectively; besides, a C/N ratio of 15.18, a total N, P2O5, and K2O content of 1.85%, and a considerably low concentration of undesirable heavy metals and silica of approximately 77.69 mg/kg and 109 mg/kg are also present, which recommends its applicability as a precursor feedstock for the production of organic fertilizer and animal fodder. The batch solid-state fermentation (SSF) of RS by Trichoderma longibrachiatum DSMZ 16517 produced considerable amount of total reducing sugars (TRS) of approximately 339.2 mg TRS/g RS under the optimum operatic conditions of 20% (w:v) substrate concentration, pH 7, 1% inoculum size, a 9-day incubation period, and 30°C incubation temperature. The readily available and cost-effective agroindustrial waste, sugarcane molasses, proved to enhance the fungal biomass growth and (hemi) cellulolytic enzymes activities. The inoculated RS-SSF batch process with T. longibrachiatum precultured on 10% molasses enhanced the (hemi) cellulolytic enzymatic activities and TRS production rate by approximately 5.82 and 3.8 folds, respectively, relative to that inoculated by T. longibrachiatum precultured in the conventional potato dextrose broth medium. The separate hydrolysis and fermentation processes by different yeast strains Candida tropicalis DSM 70156, C. shehatae ATCC 58779, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 64712 revealed an efficient bioethanol yield and productivity that ranged between 0.36 and 0.38 g/g sugars and 0.22 and 0.23 g/L/h, respectively, with concomitant competent fermentation efficiencies that ranged between 48.35% and 51.25%. The proximate analysis of rice straw before and after fungal hydrolysis proved calorific values of approximately 15.8 MJ/kg and 16.05 MJ/kg, respectively, recommending their applicability as primary and secondary solid biofuels. Thus, this study proved the waste prosperity of RS for environmental opulence and sustainability.
