Wang R, Li D, Deng F, Cao Z, Zheng G. Production of artificial humic acid from rice straw for fertilizer production and soil improvement. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 906:167548. [PMID: 37802338 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.167548] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/30/2023] [Indexed: 10/08/2023]
Abstract
In this study, artificial humic acid (AHA) was produced from rice straw at room temperature. The response surface methodology was used to investigate the response of artificial humic acid to time, liquid-solid ratio, and KOH concentration. The optimal reaction conditions were determined: reaction time of 2 h, liquid-solid ratio of 6, and KOH concentration of 1.5 mol/L. The artificial humic acid content under these conditions was 32.29 g/L, which satisfied the Chinese agricultural industry standard for water-soluble humic acid fertilizers (humic acid content ≥30 g/L). Compared with chemical fertilizers, artificial humic acid fertilizer promoted chard growth and increased soil organic matter and humic acid. The stability of artificial humic acid was better, with a retention rate of 60.47 % in the soil. Water-soluble humic acid fertilizer also promoted chard growth by increasing the relative abundance of growth-promoting bacteria such as Glutamicibacter and Pseudomonas and, as well as growth-promoting fungi such as Mortierella. The application of water-soluble humic acid fertilizers has implications for both soil improvement and the reduction of agricultural carbon emissions.

Antiproliferative activity of antimicrobial peptides and bioactive compounds from the mangrove Glutamicibacter mysorens. Front Microbiol 2023; 14:1096826.

Abstract
The Glutamicibacter group of microbes is known for antibiotic and enzyme production. Antibiotics and enzymes produced by them are important in the control, protection, and treatment of chronic human diseases. In this study, the Glutamicibacter mysorens (G. mysorens) strain MW647910.1 was isolated from mangrove soil in the Mangalore region of India. After optimization of growth conditions for G. mysorens on starch casein agar media, the micromorphology of G. mysorens was found to be spirally coiled spore chain, each spore visualized as an elongated cylindrical hairy appearance with curved edges visualized through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The culture phenotype with filamentous mycelia, brown pigmentation, and ash-colored spore production was observed. The intracellular extract of G. mysorens characterized through GCMS analysis detected bioactive compounds reported for pharmacological applications. The majority of bioactive compounds identified in intracellular extract when compared to the NIST library revealed molecular weight ranging below 1kgmole-1. The Sephadex G-10 could result in 10.66 fold purification and eluted peak protein fraction showed significant anticancer activity on the prostate cancer cell line. Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis revealed Kinetin-9-ribose and Embinin with a molecular weight below 1 kDa. This study showed small molecular weight bioactive compounds produced from microbial origin possess dual roles, acting as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and anticancer peptides (ACPs). Hence, the bioactive compounds produced from microbial origin are a promising source of future therapeutics.

Abstract
Plant diseases and pests are risk factors that threaten global food security. Excessive chemical pesticide applications are commonly used to reduce the effects of plant diseases caused by bacterial and fungal pathogens. A major concern, as we strive toward more sustainable agriculture, is to increase crop yields for the increasing population. Microbial biological control agents (MBCAs) have proved their efficacy to be a green strategy to manage plant diseases, stimulate plant growth and performance, and increase yield. Besides their role in growth enhancement, plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria/fungi (PGPR/PGPF) could suppress plant diseases by producing inhibitory chemicals and inducing immune responses in plants against phytopathogens. As biofertilizers and biopesticides, PGPR and PGPF are considered as feasible, attractive economic approach for sustainable agriculture; thus, resulting in a "win-win" situation. Several PGPR and PGPF strains have been identified as effective BCAs under environmentally controlled conditions. In general, any MBCA must overcome certain challenges before it can be registered or widely utilized to control diseases/pests. Successful MBCAs offer a practical solution to improve greenhouse crop performance with reduced fertilizer inputs and chemical pesticide applications. This current review aims to fill the gap in the current knowledge of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM), provide attention about the scientific basis for policy development, and recommend further research related to the applications of PGPM used for commercial purposes.
