Article Abstract

Fungi, especially Aspergillus species, could have a significant role in tackling challenges of global sustainability because of their diverse industrial and biotechnological applications. The current work aims to explore the biotechnological and industrial potential of Aspergillus fumigatus in achieving sustainable development goals. This fungus has the capability to secrete valuable industrial enzymes, including cellulases, lipases, and proteases, promoting eco-friendly substitutes for chemical processes in different fields such as food, textiles, biofuels, and detergents. Moreover, A. fumigatus and its enzymes support bioremediation, waste management, and circular economy processes by breaking down environmental pollutants. Further, its nanotechnological applications strengthen its potential for sustainable healthcare applications. Notwithstanding its pathogenicity, A. fumigatus's biotechnological significance emphasizes its potential as a useful resource for environmentally friendly industrial operations. This review emphasizes the relevance of this fungal species and the need for more investigation to fully explore its uses while reducing health hazards.

Plant viewing activities, which encompass the enjoyment of seasonal plant phenomena such as flowering and autumn leaf coloration, have become popular worldwide. Plant viewing activities are increasingly challenged by climate change, as key components like plant phenology and climate comfort are highly sensitive to global warming. However, few studies have explored the impact of climate change on viewing activities, particularly from an integrated, multi-factor perspective.

Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a significant flavivirus that poses a threat to public health, as it induces encephalitis in humans and reproductive disorders in sows. We have recently identified that zinc finger protein 33B (ZNF33B) is required for JEV infection by CRISPR-based functional genomic screening, yet the precise functions and mechanisms are not fully comprehended. In this study, ZNF33B was found to be involved in JEV infection, wherein it bound with JEV RNA to enhance its stability during replication.

The increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices has driven a renewed interest in plant-microbiome interactions as a basis for the next "green revolution." Central to these interactions are root-derived metabolites that act as mediators of microbial recruitment and function. Plants exude a chemically diverse array of compounds that influence the assembly, composition, and stability of the root microbiome.

The accumulation of nitrate (NO) from agricultural runoff poses a growing threat to ecosystems and public health. Converting nitrate into ammonia (NH) through the electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NORR) offers a promising strategy to mitigate environmental contamination while creating a sustainable circular route to fertilizer production. However, achieving high NH production and energy efficiency remains challenging.
