Abstract
Corn planting is often associated with serious atrazine pollution and excessive corn straw amounts, causing severe threats to environmental and ecological security, as well as to green agricultural development. In this context, a Paenarthrobacter sp. KN0901 strain was applied to simultaneously remove atrazine and straw at low temperatures. The results of whole genome sequencing indicated that KN0901 encoded over nine straw biodegradation-related enzymes. In addition, 100 % and 27.3 % of atrazine and straw were simultaneously degraded by KN0901 following an incubation period of seven days at 15 ºC and 180 rpm in darkness. The KN0901 strain maintained high atrazine and straw biodegradation rates under temperature and pH ranges of 4-25 ºC and 5-9, respectively. The simultaneous atrazine and corn straw additions improved the microbial growth and biodegradation rates by increasing the functional gene expression level, cell viability, inner membrane permeability, and extracellular polymeric substance contents of KN0901. The hydroponic experiment results demonstrated the capability of the KN0901 strain to mitigate the toxicity of atrazine to soybeans in four days under the presence of corn straw. The present study provides a new perspective on the development of bioremediation approaches and their application to restore atrazine-polluted cornfields with large straw quantities, particularly in cold areas.

Abstract
Chlortetracycline (CTC), a widely used typical tetracycline antibiotic, has raised increasing concerns due to its potential health and environmental risks. Biodegradation is considered an effective method to reduce CTC in environment. In this study, a strain Aspergillus sp. LS-1, which can efficiently degrade CTC, was isolated from CTC-rich activated sludge. Under optimal conditions, the maximum removal efficiency of CTC could reach 95.41%. Temperature was the most significant factor affecting the degradation efficiency of LS-1. The 19 products were identified in the CTC degradation by strain LS-1, and three degradation pathways were proposed. All the degradation pathways for CTC exhibited ring-cleaving, which may accelerate the mineralization of CTC. To gain more comprehensive insights into this strain, we obtained the genome of LS-1, which had high GC content (50.1%) and completeness (99.3%). The gene annotation revealed that LS-1 contains some vital enzymes and resistance genes that may carry functional genes involved in the CTC degradation. In addition, other antibiotic resistance genes were found in the genome of LS-1, indicating that LS-1 has the potential to degrade other antibiotics. This study provides a more theoretical basis for the investigation of CTC degradation by fungi and new insights into the biodegradation of CTC.

Abstract
The conversion of lignocellulosic waste to energy offers a cost-effective biofuel. The current study discusses the utilization of cellulose in rice husks by lichen-associated Streptomyces sp. MS2A via carbohydrate metabolism. Out of 39 actinobacteria, one actinobacterial strain MS2A, showed CMCase, FPase, and cellobiohydrolase activity. The whole genome analysis of Streptomyces sp. MS2A showed maximum similarity with Streptomyces sp. CCM_MD2014. The genome analysis confirmed the presence of cellulose-degrading genes along with xylan-degrading genes that code for GH3, GH6, GH9, GH11, GH43, GH51, and 15 other GH families with glycosyl transferase, carbohydrate-binding modules, and energy metabolism groups. Protein family analysis corroborates the enzyme family. Among the 19,402 genes of Streptomyces sp. MS2A, approximately 70 GH family codes for lignocellulose degradation enzymes. The structure of cellulase was modeled and validated. Scanning electron microscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS) was performed to analyze the lignocellulosic degradation of rice husk and the end product bioethanol.

Abstract
The simultaneous bioremediation and bioconversion of papermaking wastewater by psychrotrophic microorganisms holds great promise for developing sustainable environments and economies in cold regions. Here, the psychrotrophic bacterium Raoultella terrigena HC6 presented high endoglucanase (26.3 U/mL), xylosidase (732 U/mL), and laccase (8.07 U/mL) activities for lignocellulose deconstruction at 15 °C. mRNA monitoring and phenotypic variation analyses confirmed that cold-inducible cold shock protein A (CspA) facilitated the expression of the cel208, xynB68, and lac432 genes to increase the enzyme activities in strain HC6. Furthermore, the cspA gene-overexpressing mutant (strain HC6-cspA) was deployed in actual papermaking wastewater and achieved 44.3%, 34.1%, 18.4%, 80.2% and 100% removal rates for cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, COD, and NO3--N at 15 °C. Simultaneously, 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) was produced from the effluent with a titer of 2.98 g/L and productivity of 0.154 g/L/h. This study reveals an association between the cold regulon and lignocellulolytic enzymes and provides a promising candidate for simultaneous papermaking wastewater treatment and 2,3-BD production.

Abstract
Crop straw contains huge amounts of exploitable energy, and efficient biomass degradation measures have attracted worldwide attention. Mining strains with high yields of cellulose-degrading enzymes is of great significance for developing clean energy and industrial production of related enzymes. In this study, we reported a high-quality genome sequence of Bacillus velezensis SSF6 strain using high-throughput sequencing technology (Illumina PE150 and PacBio) and assessed its lignocellulose degradation potential. The results demonstrated that the genome of B. velezensis SSF6 was 3.89 Mb and contained 4,015 genes, of which 2,972, 3,831 and 158 genes were annotated in the COGs (Clusters of Orthologous Groups), KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and CAZyme (Carbohydrate-Active enZymes) databases, respectively, and contained a large number of genes related to carbohydrate metabolism. Furthermore, B. velezensis SSF6 has a high cellulose degradation capacity, with a filter paper assay (FPA) and an exoglucanase activity of 64.48 ± 0.28 and 78.59 ± 0.42 U/mL, respectively. Comparative genomic analysis depicted that B. velezensis SSF6 was richer in carbohydrate hydrolase gene. In conclusion, the cellulose-degrading ability of B. velezensis SSF6 was revealed by genome sequencing and the determination of cellulase activity, which laid a foundation for further cellulose degradation and bioconversion.

Abstract
Labyrinthulomycetes are a group of ubiquitous and diverse unicellular Stramenopiles and have long been known for their vital role in ocean carbon cycling. However, their ecological function from the perspective of organic matter degradation remains poorly understood. This study reports high-quality genomes of two newly isolated Labyrinthulomycetes strains, namely, Botryochytrium sp. strain S-28 and Oblongichytrium sp. strain S-429, and provides molecular analysis of their ecological functions using comparative genomics and a biochemical assay. Our results suggest that Labyrinthulomycetes may occupy multiple ecological niches in marine ecosystems because of the significant differences in gene function among different genera. Certain strains could degrade wheat bran independently by secreting cellulase. The key glycoside hydrolase families (GH1, GH5, and GH9) related to cellulase and the functional domains of carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) were more enriched in their genomes. This group can actively participate in marine biochemical cycles as decomposers. In contrast, other strains that could not produce cellulase may thrive as "leftover scavengers" and act as a source of nutrients to the higher-trophic-level plankton. In addition, our findings emphasize the dual roles of endoglucanase, acting as both exo- and endoglucanases, in the process of cellulose degradation. Using genomic, biochemical, and phylogenetic analyses, our study provides a broader insight into the nutritional patterns and ecological functions of Labyrinthulomycetes. IMPORTANCE Unicellular heterotrophic eukaryotes are an important component of marine ecosystems. However, their ecological functions and modes of nutrition remain largely unknown. Our current understanding of marine microbial ecology is incomplete without integrating these heterotrophic microeukaryotes into the food web models. This study focuses on the unicellular fungus-like protists Labyrinthulomycetes and provides two high-quality genomes of cellulase-producing Labyrinthulomycetes. Our study uncovers the basis of their cellulase production by deciphering the results of genomic, biochemical, and phylogenetic analyses. This study instigates a further investigation of the molecular mechanism of organic matter utilization by Labyrinthulomycetes in the world's oceans.

Abstract
This study emphasizes on the cellulase production characteristics of strain ZY7 and its collaboration with nitrate-dependent ferrous oxidizing (NFO) strain XL4 to achieve efficient denitrification at low carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) ratio. Results indicated that the denitrification efficiency increased from 65.47 to 97.99% at 24 h after co-culture at C/N of 1.0. Three-dimensional fluorescence excitation-emission matrix (3D-EEM) showed significant changes in the intensity of soluble microbial products (SMP), fulvic-like materials, and aromatic proteins after co-culture. Bio-precipitates were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD), which showed that cellulose structure was disrupted and the metabolites were potential carbon source for denitrification. In addition, cellulase activity suggested that the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds and oligosaccharides may be the rate-limiting steps in cellulose degradation. This work promoted the understanding of denitrification characteristics of co-culture and expanded the application of cellulose degrading bacteria in sewage treatment.

Abstract
Natural biodegradation processes hold promises for the conversion of agro-industrial lignocellulosic biomaterials into biofuels and fine chemicals through lignin-degrading enzymes. The high cost and low stability of these enzymes remain a significant challenge to economic lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Wood-degrading microorganisms are a great source for novel enzyme discoveries. In this study, the decomposed wood samples were screened, and a promising γ-proteobacterial strain that naturally secreted a significant amount of laccase enzyme was isolated and identified as Serratia proteamaculans AORB19 based on its phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The laccase activities in culture medium of strain AORB19 were confirmed both qualitatively and quantitatively. Significant cultural parameters for laccase production under submerged conditions were identified following a one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) methodology: temperature 30°C, pH 9, yeast extract (2 g/l), Li+, Cu2+, Ca2+, and Mn2+ (0.5 mM), and acetone (5%). Under the selected conditions, a 6-fold increase (73.3 U/L) in laccase production was achieved when compared with the initial culturing conditions (12.18 U/L). Furthermore, laccase production was enhanced under alkaline and mesophilic growth conditions in the presence of metal ions and organic solvents. The results of the study suggest the promising potential of the identified strain and its enzymes in the valorization of lignocellulosic wastes. Further optimization of culturing conditions to enhance the AORB19 strain laccase secretion, identification and characterization of the purified enzyme, and heterologous expression of the specific enzyme may lead to practical industrial and environmental applications.

Abstract
There is an urgent requirement to treat cellulose present in papermaking black liquor since it induces severe economic wastes and causes environmental pollution. We characterized cellulase activity at different temperatures and pH to seek thermo-alkali-stable cellulase-producing bacteria, a natural consortium of Serratia sp. AXJ-M and Arthrobacter sp. AXJ-M1 was used to improve the degradation of cellulose. Notably, the enzyme activities and the degradation rate of cellulose were increased by 30%-70% and 30% after co-culture, respectively. In addition, the addition of cosubstrates increased the degradation rate of cellulose beyond 30%. The thermo-alkali-stable endoglucanase (bcsZ) gene was derived from the strain AXJ-M and was cloned and expressed. The purified bcsZ displayed the maximum activity at 70 °C and pH 9. Mn2+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Tween-20 had beneficial effects on the enzyme activity. Structurally, bcsZ potentially catalyzed the degradation of cellulose. The co-culture with ligninolytic activities significantly decreased target the parameters (cellulose 45% and COD 95%) while using the immobilized fluidized bed reactors (FBRs). Finally, toxicological tests and antioxidant enzyme activities indicated that the co-culture had a detoxifying effect on black liquor. Our study showed that Serratia sp. AXJ-M acts synergistically with Arthrobacter sp. AXJ-M1 may be potentially useful for bioremediation for black liquor.

Abstract
Lignocellulose is a kind of renewable bioresource containing abundant polysaccharides, which can be used for biochemicals and biofuels production. However, the complex structure hinders the final efficiency of lignocellulosic biorefinery. This review comprehensively summarizes the hydrolases and typical microorganisms for lignocellulosic degradation. Moreover, the commonly used bioprocesses for lignocellulosic biorefinery are also discussed, including separated hydrolysis and fermentation, simultaneous saccharification and fermentation and consolidated bioprocessing. Among these methods, construction of microbial co-culturing systems via consolidated bioprocessing is regarded as a potential strategy to efficiently produce biochemicals and biofuels, providing theoretical direction for constructing efficient and stable biorefinery process system in the future.
