Rhizoctonia solani Kühn, a plant pathogenic fungus that can cause diseases in multiple plant species is considered one of the common and destructive pathogens in many crops. This study investigated the action of antimycin A1, which was isolated from Streptomyces AHF-20 found in the rhizosphere soil of an ancient banyan tree, on Rhizoctonia solani and its mechanism. The inhibitory effect of antimycin A1 on R. solani was assessed using the comparative growth rate method. The results revealed that antimycin A1 exhibited a 92.55% inhibition rate against R. solani at a concentration of 26.66 μg/mL, with an EC50 value of 1.25 μg/mL. To observe the impact of antimycin A1 on mycelial morphology and ultrastructure, the fungal mycelium was treated with 6.66 μg/mL antimycin A1, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were employed. SEM analysis demonstrated that antimycin A1 caused mycelial morphology to become stripped, rough, and folded. The mycelium experienced severe distortion and breakage, with incomplete or locally enlarged ends, shortened branches, and reduced numbers. TEM observation revealed thickened cell walls, indistinct organelle boundaries, swollen mitochondria, exosmotic substances in vesicles, slow vesicle fusion, and cavitation. Real-time quantitative PCR and enzyme activity assays were conducted to further investigate the impact of antimycin A1 on mitochondria. The physiological and biochemical results indicated that antimycin A1 inhibited complexes III and IV of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that antimycin A1 controlled the synthesis of relevant enzymes by suppressing the transcription levels of ATP6, ATP8, COX3, QCR6, CytB, ND1, and ND3 genes in mitochondria. Additionally, a metabolomic analysis revealed that antimycin A1 significantly impacted 12 metabolic pathways. These pathways likely experienced alterations in their metabolite profiles due to the inhibitory effects of antimycin A1. Consequently, the findings of this research contribute to the potential development of novel fungicides.</p

Investigation on the Physical and Chemical Properties of Hydrochar and Its Derived Pyrolysis Char for Their Potential Application: Influence of Hydrothermal Carbonization Conditions
Hydrothermal
carbonization (HTC) is an aqueous-phase procedure to prepare charred
material using biomass. To obtain a charred material with high porosity,
ash content, and thermal recalcitrance, it is necessary to investigate
the influence of HTC conditions (peak temperature, retention time,
and feedstock type) on the properties of hydrochar and its derived
pyrolysis char (HDPC). Additionally, the relative importance of these
conditions for the selected properties was also investigated by heterogeneity
index. The results indicated that the properties of both hydrochar
and HDPC samples were greatly influenced by the HTC process. The ash
content and major metal elements (Na, Mg, K, and Ca) of hydrochar
and HDPC samples were strongly influenced by the feedstock type; other
properties, such as surface area, carbon sequestration potential,
total carbon, total nitrogen, and dissolved organic carbon were moderately
influenced by the feedstock type. Overall, this study provided new
insights into the relative importance of different HTC conditions
in the properties of hydrochar and HDPC samples, which was an important
process toward obtaining a “required” charred material
for environmental remediation
Novel and High-Performance Magnetic Carbon Composite Prepared from Waste Hydrochar for Dye Removal
In
recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the hydrothermal
liquefaction (HTL) of waste biomass for the production of bio-oil
and hydrochar (a solid residue from HTL process). However, hydrochar
possesses limited porosity and surface area, hindering its environmental
application. In the present work, to promote the development of a
sustainable application of waste biomass, waste hydrochar was activated
and modified to a novel magnetic carbon composite, which exhibited
high performance for dye removal from aqueous solutions. The composite
possessed a saturation magnetization of 38.5 emu g<sup>–1</sup> at room temperature and could be facilely attracted from an aqueous
solution by an external magnet. The as-prepared composite exhibited
a superior malachite green (MG) adsorption capacity (476 mg g<sup>–1</sup>), which was much
higher than the known magnetic adsorbents. Our results suggested that
the waste hydrochar could be efficiently transformed to a high-performance
sustainable material for dye removal
Facile Fabrication of Magnetic Carbon Composites from Hydrochar via Simultaneous Activation and Magnetization for Triclosan Adsorption
Advanced
magnetic carbon composites with high specific surface
area and high microporosity are required for both environmentally
and agriculturally related applications. However, more research is
needed for the development of a facile and highly efficient synthesis
process. In the present work, a novel approach of simultaneous activation
and magnetization is proposed for the fabrication of magnetic carbon
composites via the thermal pyrolysis of hydrochar (i.e., a solid residue
from a hydrothermal carbonization process) that has been pretreated
with mixtures of ferric chloride (FeCl<sub>3</sub>) and zinc chloride
(ZnCl<sub>2</sub>). The main objective of this study is the investigation
of the variation of characteristics of magnetic carbon composites
produced at various conditions, as well as triclosan (TCS) adsorption
behavior on such composites. This presented simple one-step synthesis
method has the following advantages: (a) the hydrochar is activated
with high surface area and pore volume (up to 1351 m<sup>2</sup>/g
and 0.549 cm<sup>3</sup>/g, respectively), (b) activation and magnetization
are simultaneously achieved without further modification, (c) the
magnetic particles (γ-Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) are stable
under an acidic medium (pH of 3.0 and 4.0), and (d) the products have
the potential to remove TCS from aqueous solutions with a maximum
adsorption capacity of 892.9 mg/g. The results indicate the effectiveness
of this facile synthesis strategy in converting low-value biowaste
into a functional material with high performance for pollutant removal
from aqueous solutions
