Phages enhance both phytopathogen density control and rhizosphere microbiome suppressiveness.

Bacteriophages, viruses that specifically target plant pathogenic bacteria, have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional agrochemicals. However, it remains unclear how phages should be applied to achieve efficient pathogen biocontrol and to what extent their efficacy is shaped by indirect interactions with the resident microbiota. Here, we tested if the phage biocontrol efficacy of Ralstonia solanacearum phytopathogenic bacterium can be improved by increasing the phage cocktail application frequency and if the phage efficacy is affected by pathogen-suppressing bacteria already present in the rhizosphere. We find that increasing phage application frequency improves R. solanacearum density control, leading to a clear reduction in bacterial wilt disease in both greenhouse and field experiments with tomato. The high phage application frequency also increased the diversity of resident rhizosphere microbiota and enriched several bacterial taxa that were associated with the reduction in pathogen densities. Interestingly, these taxa often belonged to Actinobacteria known for antibiotics production and soil suppressiveness. To test if they could have had secondary effects on R. solanacearum biocontrol, we isolated Actinobacteria from Nocardia and Streptomyces genera and tested their suppressiveness to the pathogen in vitro and in planta. We found that these taxa could clearly inhibit R. solanacearum growth and constrain bacterial wilt disease, especially when combined with the phage cocktail. Together, our findings unravel an undiscovered benefit of phage therapy, where phages trigger a second line of defense by the pathogen-suppressing bacteria that already exist in resident microbial communities. IMPORTANCE: Ralstonia solanacearum is a highly destructive plant-pathogenic bacterium with the ability to cause bacterial wilt in several crucial crop plants. Given the limitations of conventional chemical control methods, the use of bacterial viruses (phages) has been explored as an alternative biological control strategy. In this study, we show that increasing the phage application frequency can improve the density control of R. solanacearum, leading to a significant reduction in bacterial wilt disease. Furthermore, we found that repeated phage application increased the diversity of rhizosphere microbiota and specifically enriched Actinobacterial taxa that showed synergistic pathogen suppression when combined with phages due to resource and interference competition. Together, our study unravels an undiscovered benefit of phages, where phages trigger a second line of defense by the pathogen-suppressing bacteria present in resident microbial communities. Phage therapies could, hence, potentially be tailored according to host microbiota composition to unlock the pre-existing benefits provided by resident microbiota.

A review of passive acid mine drainage treatment by PRB and LPB: From design, testing, to construction.

An extensive volume of acid mine drainage (AMD) generated throughout the mining process has been widely regarded as one of the most catastrophic environmental problems. Surface water and groundwater impacted by pollution exhibit extreme low pH values and elevated sulfate and metal/metalloid concentrations, posing a serious threat to the production efficiency of enterprises, domestic water safety, and the ecological health of the basin. Over the recent years, a plethora of techniques has been developed to address the issue of AMD, encompassing nanofiltration membranes, lime neutralization, and carrier-microencapsulation. Nonetheless, these approaches often come with substantial financial implications and exhibit restricted long-term sustainability. Among the array of choices, the permeable reactive barrier (PRB) system emerges as a noteworthy passive remediation method for AMD. Distinguished by its modest construction expenses and enduring stability, this approach proves particularly well-suited for addressing the environmental challenges posed by abandoned mines. This study undertook a comprehensive evaluation of the PRB systems utilized in the remediation of AMD. Furthermore, it introduced the concept of low permeability barrier, derived from the realm of site-contaminated groundwater management. The strategies pertaining to the selection of materials, the physicochemical aspects influencing long-term efficacy, the intricacies of design and construction, as well as the challenges and prospects inherent in barrier technology, are elaborated upon in this discourse.

Self-motivated photoaging of microplastics by biochar-dissolved organic matter under different pyrolysis temperatures.

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) released from biochar (BDOM) can interact with microplastics (MPs) in the environment, inevitably affecting their environmental behaviour. Information regarding the influence of BDOM on MPs during photoaging and associated variations in the MP aging mechanism remains unclear. This study evaluated the effect of BDOM on the aging of polystyrene (PS) MPs. The results showed that among three pyrolysis temperatures, low-temperature BDOM significantly enhanced the photoaging process of PS MPs, with the smallest average particle size and highest carbonyl index value after 15 days of aging under light conditions. The DOM level decreased after 5 days, increased after 5-10 days, and stabilised after 15 d. BDOM accelerates PS MPs aging, leading to more DOM released from PS, which can be transformed into 1O2 via triplet-excited state (3DOM⁎ and 3PS⁎) to further enhance PS MPs aging, resulting in the realisation of the self-accelerated aging process of PS MPs. 1O2 plays a crucial role in the self-motivated accelerated aging process of PS MPs. These findings provide new insights into the effects of the DOM structure and composition on reactive oxygen species generation during MPs aging.

Innovations in chemical degradation technologies for the removal of micro/nano-plastics in water: A comprehensive review.

Micro/nanoplastics (M/NPs) in water have raised global concern due to their potential environmental risks. To reestablish a M/NPs free world, enormous attempts have been made toward employing chemical technologies for their removal in water. This review comprehensively summarizes the advances in chemical degradation approaches for M/NPs elimination. It details and discusses promising techniques, including photo-based technologies, Fenton-based reaction, electrochemical oxidation, and novel micro/nanomotors approaches. Subsequently, critical influence factors, such as properties of M/NPs and operating factors, are analyzed in this review specifically. Finally, it concludes by addressing the current challenges and future perspectives in chemical degradation. This review will provide guidance for scientists to further explore novel strategies and develop feasible chemical methods for the improved control and remediation of M/NPs in the future.

A cell-based assay to discover inhibitors of Zika virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Zika virus (ZIKV) belongs to Flaviviridae, the Flavivirus genus. Its infection causes congenital brain abnormalities and Guillain-Barré syndrome. However, there are no effective vaccines, no FDA-approved drugs to manage ZIKV infection. The non-structural protein NS5 of ZIKV has been recognized as a valuable target of antivirals because of its RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) and methyltransferase (MTase) activities essential for viral RNA synthesis. Here, we report a cell-based assay for discovering inhibitors of ZIKV NS5 and found that 5-Azacytidine potently inhibits ZIKV NS5, with EC50 of 4.9 µM. Furthermore, 5-Azacytidine suppresses ZIKV replication by inhibiting NS5-mediated viral RNA transcription. Therefore, we have developed a cell-based ZIKV NS5 assay which can be deployed to discover ZIKV NS5 inhibitors and demonstrated the potential of 5-Azacytidine for further development as a ZIKV NS5 inhibitor.

Schlafen-5 inhibits LINE-1 retrotransposition.

Long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) is the only currently known active autonomous transposon in humans, and its retrotransposition may cause deleterious effects on the structure and function of host cell genomes and result in sporadic genetic diseases. Host cells therefore developed defense strategies to restrict LINE-1 mobilization. In this study, we demonstrated that IFN-inducible Schlafen5 (SLFN5) inhibits LINE-1 retrotransposition. Mechanistic studies revealed that SLFN5 interrupts LINE-1 ribonucleoprotein particle (RNP) formation, thus diminishing nuclear entry of the LINE-1 RNA template and subsequent LINE-1 cDNA production. The ability of SLFN5 to bind to LINE-1 RNA and the involvement of the helicase domain of SLFN5 in its inhibitory activity suggest a mechanism that SLFN5 binds to LINE-1 RNA followed by dissociation of ORF1p through its helicase activity, resulting in impaired RNP formation. These data highlight a new mechanism of host cells to restrict LINE-1 mobilization.

MOV10 recruits DCP2 to decap human LINE-1 RNA by forming large cytoplasmic granules with phase separation properties.

Long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) is the only active autonomous mobile element in the human genome. Its transposition can exert deleterious effects on the structure and function of the host genome and cause sporadic genetic diseases. Tight control of LINE-1 mobilization by the host is crucial for genetic stability. In this study, we report that MOV10 recruits the main decapping enzyme DCP2 to LINE-1 RNA and forms a complex of MOV10, DCP2, and LINE-1 RNP, exhibiting liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) properties. DCP2 cooperates with MOV10 to decap LINE-1 RNA, which causes degradation of LINE-1 RNA and thus reduces LINE-1 retrotransposition. We here identify DCP2 as one of the key effector proteins determining LINE-1 replication, and elucidate an LLPS mechanism that facilitates the anti-LINE-1 action of MOV10 and DCP2.

Teicoplanin derivatives block spike protein mediated viral entry as pan-SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors.

The rapid emergence of highly transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variants poses serious threat to the efficacy of vaccines and neutralizing antibodies. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop new and effective inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 and future outbreaks. Here, we have identified a series of glycopeptide antibiotics teicoplanin derivatives that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein, interrupt its interaction with ACE2 receptor and selectively inhibit viral entry mediated by S protein. Computation modeling predicts that these compounds interact with the residues in the receptor binding domain. More importantly, these teicoplanin derivatives inhibit the entry of both pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 Delta and Omicron variants. Our study demonstrates the feasibility of developing small molecule entry inhibitors by targeting the interaction of viral S protein and ACE2. Together, considering the proven safety and pharmacokinetics of teicoplanin as a glycopeptide antibiotic, the teicoplanin derivatives hold great promise of being repurposed as pan-SARS-CoV-2 inhibitors.

Enhanced removal of aged and differently functionalized polystyrene nanoplastics using ball-milled magnetic pinewood biochars.

In this study, simple and environmentally friendly magnetic biochars were successfully prepared by ball-milling biochar with Fe3O4 nanoparticles to remove NPs from water. The magnetic biochars synthesized at various pyrolysis temperatures of 300 °C (MBC300), 500 °C (MBC500), and 700 °C (MBC700) were used to eliminate the unmodified (PS), aged under UV radiation (UVPS), amine-modified (PS-NH2) and carboxylate-modified (PS-COOH) polystyrene NPs of 100 nm in size. Results showed that the removal efficiency of MBC300, MBC500, and MBC700 for PS were 43.67, 82.73 and 57.02%, which were 3.01, 5.76, and 3.10 times greater than that of corresponding pristine biochars at the same temperatures, respectively, and the strongest removal efficiency of MBC500 was 95.2% since it has the largest specific surface area and abundant oxygen-containing functional groups. The surface properties of the NPs affected their removal, and the PS-NH2 had the highest removal rate using magnetic biochars. Compared to pristine biochars, the magnetic biochars displayed faster adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of magnetic biochars for NPs were 107.7181-229.5772 mg/g, much greater than those of the pristine biochars (55.4602-80.3096 mg/g). Mechanism analysis revealed that the hydrophobicity, electrostatic attraction, H-bonding formation and π-π conjunction between the NPs and MBCs contributed to the adsorption process. This work highlights the promising potential of ball milling to be used as a simple technique for the preparation of magnetic biochar to remove NPs, especially NPs with various surface groups.

Effects comparison between the secondary nanoplastics released from biodegradable and conventional plastics on the transfer of antibiotic resistance genes between bacteria.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have caused widespread concern because of their potential harm to environmental safety and human health. As substitutes for conventional plastics, the toxic effects of short-term degradation products of biodegradable plastics (polylactic acid (PLA) and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)) on bacteria and their impact on ARGs transfer were the focus of this study. After 60 days of degradation, more secondary nanoplastics were released from the biodegradable plastics PLA and PHA than that from the conventional plastics polystyrene (PS). All kinds of nanoplastics, no matter released from biodegradable plastics or conventional plastics, had no significant toxicity to bacteria. Nanoplastic particles from biodegradable plastics could significantly increase the transfer efficiency of ARGs. Although the amount of secondary nanoplastics produced by PHA microplastics was much higher than that of PLA, the transfer frequency after exposure to PLA was much higher, which may be due to the agglomeration of PHA nanoplastics caused by plastic instability in solution. After exposure to the 60 d PLA nanoplastics, the transfer frequency was the highest, which was approximately 28 times higher than that of control. The biodegradable nanoplastics significantly enhanced the expression of the outer membrane pore protein genes ompA and ompC, which could increase cell membrane permeability. The expression levels of trfAp and trbBp were increased by repressed major global regulatory genes korA, korB, and trbA, which eventually led to an increase in conjugative transfer frequency. This study provides important insights into the evaluation of the environmental and health risks caused by secondary nanoplastics released from biodegradable plastics.

Identification of Darunavir Derivatives for Inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro.

The effective antiviral agents that treat severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) are urgently needed around the world. The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 plays a pivotal role in virus replication; it also has become an important therapeutic target for the infection of SARS-CoV-2. In this work, we have identified Darunavir derivatives that inhibit the 3CLpro through a high-throughput screening method based on a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assay in vitro. We found that the compounds 29# and 50# containing polyphenol and caffeine derivatives as the P2 ligand, respectively, exhibited favorable anti-3CLpro potency with EC50 values of 6.3 µM and 3.5 µM and were shown to bind to SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro in vitro. Moreover, we analyzed the binding mode of the DRV in the 3CLpro through molecular docking. Importantly, 29# and 50# exhibited a similar activity against the protease in Omicron variants. The inhibitory effect of compounds 29# and 50# on the SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro warrants that they are worth being the template to design functionally improved inhibitors for the treatment of COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 hijacks cellular kinase CDK2 to promote viral RNA synthesis.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has devastated global health. Identifying key host factors essential for SARS-CoV-2 RNA replication is expected to unravel cellular targets for the development of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs which have been quested for the preparedness of future viral outbreaks. Here, we have identified host proteins that associate with nonstructural protein 12 (nsp12), the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) of SARS-CoV-2 using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomic approach. Among the candidate factors, CDK2 (Cyclin-dependent kinase 2), a member of cyclin-dependent kinases, interacts with nsp12 and causes its phosphorylation at T20, thus facilitating the assembly of the RdRp complex consisting of nsp12, nsp7 and nsp8 and promoting efficient synthesis of viral RNA. The crucial role of CDK2 in viral RdRp function is further supported by our observation that CDK2 inhibitors potently impair viral RNA synthesis and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Taken together, we have discovered CDK2 as a key host factor of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp complex, thus serving a promising target for the development of SARS-CoV-2 RdRp inhibitors.

The Zinc-Finger protein ZCCHC3 inhibits LINE-1 retrotransposition.

Long-interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) is an autonomous non-LTR retrotransposon. Its replication can cause mutation and rearrangement of host genomic DNA, which may result in serious genetic diseases. Host cells therefore developed defense strategies to restrict LINE-1 mobilization. In this study, we reported that CCHC-type zinc-finger protein ZCCHC3 can repress LINE-1 retrotransposition, and this activity is closely related to its zinc-finger domain. Further studies show that ZCCHC3 can post-transcriptionally diminish the LINE-1 RNA level. The association of ZCCHC3 with both LINE-1 RNA and ORF1 suggests that ZCCHC3 interacts with LINE-1 RNP and consequently causes its RNA degradation. These data demonstrate collectively that ZCCHC3 contributes to the cellular control of LINE-1 replication.

Repurposing of HIV/HCV protease inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen that caused the global COVID-19 outbreak. The 3C-like protease (3CLpro) of SARS-CoV-2 plays a key role in virus replication and has become an ideal target for antiviral drug design. In this work, we have employed bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET) technology to establish a cell-based assay for screening inhibitors against SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro, and then applied the assay to screen a collection of known HIV/HCV protease inhibitors. Our results showed that the assay is capable of quantification of the cleavage efficiency of 3CLpro with good reproducibility (Z' factor is 0.59). Using the assay, we found that 9 of 26 protease inhibitors effectively inhibited the activity of SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro in a dose-dependent manner. Among them, four compounds exhibited the ability to bind to 3CLproin vitro. HCV protease inhibitor simeprevir showed the most potency against 3CLpro with an EC50 vale of 2.6 µM, bound to the active site pocket of 3CLpro in a predicted model, and importantly, exhibited a similar activity against the protease containing the mutations P132H in Omicron variants. Taken together, this work demonstrates the feasibility of using the cell-based BRET assay for screening 3CLpro inhibitors and supports the potential of simeprevir for the development of 3CLpro inhibitors.

ANO1: More Than Just Calcium-Activated Chloride Channel in Cancer.

ANO1, a calcium-activated chloride channel (CACC), is also known as transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A). It plays a vital role in the occurrence, development, metastasis, proliferation, and apoptosis of various malignant tumors. This article reviews the mechanism of ANO1 involved in the replication, proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of various malignant tumors. Various molecules and Stimuli control the expression of ANO1, and the regulatory mechanism of ANO1 is different in tumor cells. To explore the mechanism of ANO1 overexpression and activation of tumor cells by studying the different effects of ANO1. Current studies have shown that ANO1 expression is controlled by 11q13 gene amplification and may also exert cell-specific effects through its interconnected protein network, phosphorylation of different kinases, and signaling pathways. At the same time, ANO1 also resists tumor apoptosis and promotes tumor immune escape. ANO1 can be used as a promising biomarker for detecting certain malignant tumors. Further studies on the channels and the mechanism of protein activity of ANO1 are needed. Finally, the latest inhibitors of ANO1 are summarized, which provides the research direction for the tumor-promoting mechanism of ANO1.

The combined effects of nanoplastics and dibutyl phthalate on Streptomyces coelicolor M145.

The environmental and human health risks posed by nanoplastics have attracted considerable attention; however, research on the combined toxicity of nanoplastics and plasticizers is limited. This study analyzed the combined effects of nanoplastics and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) on Streptomyces coelicolor M145 (herein referred to as M145) and its mechanism. The results demonstrated that when the concentration of both nanoplastics and DBP was 1 mg/L, the co-addition was not toxic to M145. When the DBP concentration increased to 5 mg/L, the combined toxicity of 1 mg/L nanoplastics and 5 mg/L DBP reduced when compared to the 5 mg/L DBP treatment group. Similarly, the combined toxicity of 10 mg/L nanoplastics and 1 mg/L DBP on M145 was also lower than that of only 10 mg/L nanoplastics. The co-addition of 10 mg/L nanoplastics and 5 mg/L DBP resulted in the lowest survival rate (41.3%). The key reason for differences in cytotoxicity were variations in the agglomeration of nanoplastics and the adsorption of DBP on nanoplastics. The combination of 10 mg/L nanoplastics and 5 mg/L DBP maximized the production of antibiotics; actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin yields were 3.5 and 1.8-fold higher than that of the control, respectively. This indicates that the excessive production of antibiotics may be a protective mechanism for bacteria. This study provides a new perspective for assessing the risk of co-exposure to nanoplastics and organic contaminants on microorganisms in nature.

Ball-milled biochar can act as a preferable biocompatibility material to enhance phenanthrene degradation by stimulating bacterial metabolism.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different concentrations of ball-milled biochar pyrolyzed at 300-700 °C on the lethality, growth, metabolism, and degradability of gram-negative petroleum-degrading bacteria. BM-biochar was not toxic to Acinetobacter venetianus, only slowing the growth rate and extending the logarithmic phase. The ability of A. venetianus to produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) and biosurfactants was positive with ROS level. The highest degradation efficiency of phenanthrene (PHE) was 2.84-fold that of the control. Mechanism analysis revealed that increased EPS stimulated the adsorption of PHE and biosurfactant enhanced PHE solubility. The improved PHE biodegradability of A. venetianus through phthalic acid pathway is mainly owing to the intensify of PHE bioavailability and accessibility. These findings provide new insights into effects of BM-biochar on cellular responses and indicate that BM-biochar can act as a biocompatible material to enhance the degradation of organic pollutants.

DeepUMQA: ultrafast shape recognition-based protein model quality assessment using deep learning.

MOTIVATION: Protein model quality assessment is a key component of protein structure prediction. In recent research, the voxelization feature was used to characterize the local structural information of residues, but it may be insufficient for describing residue-level topological information. Design features that can further reflect residue-level topology when combined with deep learning methods are therefore crucial to improve the performance of model quality assessment. RESULTS: We developed a deep-learning method, DeepUMQA, based on Ultrafast Shape Recognition (USR) for the residue-level single-model quality assessment. In the framework of the deep residual neural network, the residue-level USR feature was introduced to describe the topological relationship between the residue and overall structure by calculating the first moment of a set of residue distance sets and then combined with 1D, 2D and voxelization features to assess the quality of the model. Experimental results on the CASP13, CASP14 test datasets and CAMEO blind test show that USR could supplement the voxelization features to comprehensively characterize residue structure information and significantly improve model assessment accuracy. The performance of DeepUMQA ranks among the top during the state-of-the-art single-model quality assessment methods, including ProQ2, ProQ3, ProQ3D, Ornate, VoroMQA, ProteinGCN, ResNetQA, QDeep, GraphQA, ModFOLD6, ModFOLD7, ModFOLD8, QMEAN3, QMEANDisCo3 and DeepAccNet. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The DeepUMQA server is freely available at http://zhanglab-bioinf.com/DeepUMQA/. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

5-Iodotubercidin inhibits SARS-CoV-2 RNA synthesis.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a newly emerged infectious disease caused by a novel coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The rapid global emergence of SARS-CoV-2 highlights the importance and urgency for potential drugs to control the pandemic. The functional importance of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) in the viral life cycle, combined with structural conservation and absence of closely related homologs in humans, makes it an attractive target for designing antiviral drugs. Nucleos(t)ide analogs (NAs) are still the most promising broad-spectrum class of viral RdRp inhibitors. In this study, using our previously developed cell-based SARS-CoV-2 RdRp report system, we screened 134 compounds in the Selleckchemicals NAs library. Four candidate compounds, Fludarabine Phosphate, Fludarabine, 6-Thio-20-Deoxyguanosine (6-Thio-dG), and 5-Iodotubercidin, exhibit remarkable potency in inhibiting SARS-CoV-2 RdRp. Among these four compounds, 5-Iodotubercidin exhibited the strongest inhibition upon SARS-CoV-2 RdRp, and was resistant to viral exoribonuclease activity, thus presenting the best antiviral activity against coronavirus from a different genus. Further study showed that the RdRp inhibitory activity of 5-Iodotubercidin is closely related to its capacity to inhibit adenosine kinase (ADK).

Enhanced degradation of petroleum hydrocarbons by immobilizing multiple bacteria on wheat bran biochar and its effect on greenhouse gas emission in saline-alkali soil.

In this study, an immobilization method for forming and keeping dominant petroleum degradation bacteria was successfully developed by immobilizing Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Sphingobacterium genus bacteria on wheat bran biochar pyrolyzed at 300, 500, and 700 °C. The removal efficiency indicated that the highest TPHs (total petroleum hydrocarbons) removal rate of BC500-4 B (biochar pyrolyzed at 500 °C with four kinds of petroleum bacteria) was 58.31%, which was higher than that of BC500 (36.91%) and 4 B (43.98%) used alone. The soil properties revealed that the application of biochar increased the content of organic matter, available phosphorus, and available potassium, but decreased pH and ammonium nitrogen content in soil. Bacterial community analysis suggested that the formation of dominant degrading community represented by Acinetobacter played key roles in TPHs removal. The removal rate of alkanes was similar to that of TPHs. Besides, biochar and immobilized material can also mediate greenhouse gas emission while removing petroleum, biochar used alone and immobilized all could improve CO2 emission, but decrease N2O emission and had no significant impact on CH4 emission. Furthermore, it was the first time to found the addition of Acinetobacter genus bacteria can accelerate the process of forming a dominant degrading community in wheat bran biochar consortium. This study focused on controlling greenhouse gas emission which provides a wider application of combining biochar and bacteria in petroleum soil remediation.
