Abstract
Morel is a popular edible mushroom with considerable medicinal and economic value which has garnered global popularity. However, the increasing heavy metal (HM) pollution in the soil presents a significant challenge to morels cultivation. Given the susceptibility of morels to HM accumulation, the quality and output of morels are at risk, posing a serious food safety concern that hinders the development of the morel industry. Nonetheless, research on the mechanism of HM enrichment and mitigation strategies in morel remains scarce. The morel, being cultivated in soil, shows a positive correlation between HM content in its fruiting body and the HM content in the soil. Therefore, soil remediation emerges as the most practical and effective approach to tackle HM pollution. Compared to physical and chemical remediation, bioremediation is a low-cost and eco-friendly approach that poses minimal threats to soil composition and structure. HMs easily enriched during morels cultivation were examined, including Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb, and we assessed soil passivation technology, microbial remediation, strain screening and cultivation, and agronomic measures as potential approaches for HM pollution prevention. The current review underscores the importance of establishing a comprehensive system for preventing HM pollution in morels.

Abstract
Soil Cd pollution seriously threatens environment and human health. Due to its ability to absorb and accumulate Cd in mycelia, Stropharia rugosoannulata could be a potential candidate for bioremediation of Cd-contaminated soils; however, the response mechanism of mycelia to Cd stress is still unclear. In this study, the physiologic and proteomic differences of S. rugosoannulata mycelia under 0.2 mg/L (low) and 2 mg/L (high) Cd stress were investigated. The results showed that Cd accumulation and mycelial growth inhibition exhibited a concentration-depended trend. Analysis of antioxidant system indicated that SOD, GR, GSH, GSSG and ASA played key roles in resisting the toxic effects of Cd. Via proteome analysis, 24 and 267 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) were observed under low and high Cd stress, respectively. GO and KEGG analysis found that the mycelial growth inhibition might due to the down-regulation of some DEPs involved in "valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis" and "tyrosine metabolism"; the certain tolerance to high Cd stress might attribute to the regulation of DEPs referred to energy metabolism and antioxidant system-related pathways, maintaining cellular energy homeostasis and removing ROS. These results provide a theoretical basis for further elucidation of response mechanisms in S. rugosoannulata to Cd stress.

Characterization of copper stress response in Fusarium tricinctum M6: A metal-resistant microorganism isolated from an acid mine drainage-affected environment. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2021; 412:125216. [PMID: 33951861 PMCID: PMC8108702 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2021.125216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2020] [Revised: 01/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/21/2021] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Acid mine drainage-affected environments are interesting microbial niches for the isolation of metal-resistant microorganisms. In this sense, the aim of the present work is to isolate and characterize metal-resistant microorganisms from sediments of an abandoned gold mine located in San Luis (Argentina). For these purposes, the metal removal capacity and the microelemental composition of the biomass exposed to metals were evaluated. Likewise, proteomic techniques were applied to understand the removal and resistance mechanisms. Fusarium tricinctum M6 was isolated and identified as tolerant to Cu(II), Fe(II) and Cr(VI). When faced with 40 µg mL-1 Cu(II), the growth was affected by 60% and the removal capacity was 30-35%. Copper was found uniformly distributed in the biomass (5.23% w/w) and variations in the proportion of other biomass constituent elements were detected. When exposed to Cu(II), F. tricinctum M6 showed differential expression of intra and extracellular proteins involved in different metabolic processes. A large number of proteins with metal ion binding sites were detected both at intra and extracellular levels. The results obtained in the present work indicated bioadsorption of the metal on the cell surface and an important readjustment of the protein expression to counteract the stress produced by Cu(II).

Abstract
Trace metal contamination is a widespread and complex environmental problem. Because fungi are capable of growing in adverse environments, several fungal species could have an interesting potential in remediation technologies for metal contaminated environments. This study proposes to test the ability to tolerate and biosorb three trace metals (Cd, Cu and Pb) of 28 fungal isolates collected from different soils. First, a tolerance assay in agar medium was performed. Each isolate was grown in the presence of Cd, Cu, and Pb at different concentrations. Then, we exposed each soil fungus to 50 mg L-1 of Cd, Cu, or Pb during 3 days in liquid medium. Parameters such as biomass production, pH, and biosorption were evaluated. The results showed that responses to metal exposure are very diverse even with fungi isolated from the same soil sample, or belonging to the same genera. Several isolates could be considered as good metal biosorbents and could be used in future mycoremediation studies. Among the 28 fungi tested, Absidia cylindrospora biosorbed more than 45% of Cd and Pb, Chaetomium atrobrunneum biosorbed more than 45% of Cd, Cu, Pb, and Coprinellus micaceus biosorbed 100% of Pb.

Abstract
Lentinula edodes, also known as Xiang'gu, is commonly eaten in cultures around the world. However, L. edodes is particularly susceptible to enrichment with heavy metals, particularly cadmium (Cd), which is toxic to human health. Understanding the molecular mechanism and mining key genes involved in Cd enrichment will facilitate genetic modification of L. edodes strains. Two L. edodes genotypes, Le4625 (with higher Cd enrichment capability) and Le4606 (with lower Cd enrichment capability) were used in this study. The Cd concentrations in the mycelia of the tested genotypes differed significantly after Cd (0.1 mg/L) exposure; and the Cd content in Le4625 (1.390 ± 0.098 mg/kg) was approximately three-fold that in Le4606 (0.440 ± 0.038 mg/kg) after 7 h of Cd exposure. A total of 24,592 transcripts were assessed by RNA-Seq to explore variance in Cd accumulation. Firstly, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were analyzed separately following Cd exposure. In comparison with Ld4625, Ld4606 showed a greater number of Cd-induced changes in transcription. In Ld4606, DEGs following Cd exposure were associated with transmembrane transport, glutathione transfer and cytochrome P450, indicating that these genes could be involved in Cd resistance in L. edodes. Next, Le4606 and Le4625 were exposed to Cd, after which DEGs were identified to explore genetic factors affecting Cd accumulation. After Cd exposure, DEGs between Le4606 and Le4625 encoded proteins involved in multiple biological pathways, including transporters on the membrane, cell wall modification, oxidative stress response, translation, degradation, and signaling pathways. Cadmium enrichment in cells may activate MAPK signaling and the anti-oxidative stress response, which can subsequently alter signal transduction and the intracellular oxidation/reduction balance. Furthermore, several possible candidate genes involved in the Cd accumulation were identified, including the major facilitator superfamily genes, heat shock proteins, and laccase 11, a multicopper oxidase. This comparison of the transcriptomes of two L. edodes strains with different capacities for Cd accumulation provides valuable insight into the cultivation of mushrooms with less Cd enrichment and also serves as a reference for the construction of engineered strains for environmental pollution control.

Abstract
Background Metal contamination in soils affects both above- and belowground communities, including soil microorganisms. Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi are an important component in belowground community and tolerant strains have great potential in enhancing plant-based remediation techniques. We assessed cadmium and zinc toxicity in five ECM species in liquid media (Hebeloma subsaponaceum; H. cylindrosporum; H. crustuliniforme; Scleroderma sp.; Austroboletus occidentalis) and investigated the potential of Zn to alleviate Cd toxicity. Due to highly divergent results reported in the literature, liquid and solid media were compared experimentally for the first time in terms of differential toxicity thresholds in Cd and Zn interactions. Methods A wide range of Cd and Zn concentrations were applied to ectomycorrhizal fungi in axenic cultures (in mg L−1): 0; 1; 3; 9; 27; 81; 243 for the Cd treatments, and 0; 1; 30; 90; 270; 810; 2,430 for Zn. Combined Zn and Cd treatments were also applied to H. subsaponaceum and Scleroderma sp. Dry weight was recorded after 30 days, and in case of solid medium treatments, radial growth was also measured. Results and Discussion All species were adversely affected by high levels of Cd and Zn, and A. occidentalis was the most sensitive, with considerable biomass decrease at 1 mg L−1 Cd, while Scleroderma sp. and H. subsaponaceum were the most tolerant, which are species commonly found in highly contaminated sites. Cd was generally 10 times more toxic than Zn, which may explain why Zn had little impact in alleviating Cd effects. In some cases, Cd and Zn interactions led to a synergistic toxicity, depending on the concentrations applied and type of media used. Increased tolerance patterns were detected in fungi grown in solid medium and may be the cause of divergent toxicity thresholds found in the literature. Furthermore, solid medium allows measuring radial growth/mycelial density as endpoints which are informative and in this case appeared be related to the high tolerance indices found in H. subsaponaceum.

Abstract
Lentinula edodes (shiitake mushroom) is a common edible mushroom with a number of potential therapeutic and nutritional applications. It contains various medically important molecules, such as polysaccharides, terpenoids, sterols, and lipids, were contained in this mushroom. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is a powerful tool to analyze the mechanisms underlying the biosynthetic pathways of these substances. qRT-PCR is used for accurate analyses of transcript levels owing to its rapidity, sensitivity, and reliability. However, its accuracy and reliability for the quantification of transcripts rely on the expression stability of the reference genes used for data normalization. To ensure the reliability of gene expression analyses using qRT-PCR in L. edodes molecular biology research, it is necessary to systematically evaluate reference genes. In the current study, ten potential reference genes were selected from L. edodes genomic data and their expression levels were measured by qRT-PCR using various samples. The expression stability of each candidate gene was analyzed by three commonly used software packages: geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper. Base on the results, Rpl4 was the most stable reference gene across all experimental conditions, and Atu was the most stable gene among strains. 18S was found to be the best reference gene for different development stages, and Rpl4 was the most stably expressed gene under various nutrient conditions. The present work will contribute to qRT-PCR studies in L. edodes.
