Abstract
Corn silage was treated by white rot fungi (WRF) to investigate the effect of pretreatment on material's ability to produce methane in anaerobic digestion (AD). The selective fungi Pleurotus ostreatus and Dichomitus squalens promoted biogas generation, whereas the non-selective Trametes versicolor and Irpex lacteus had negative effect. Cumulative methane production after 10-day pretreatment with P. ostreatus at 28 °C rose 1.55-fold. The longer pretreatments of 30 and 60-days had smaller effect. When the pretreatment with P. ostreatus was carried out at 40 °C a high H2S release affected the AD process. Effect of WRF action dependent on the type of corn silage. With typical corn silage, the lignin depolymerisation raised the methane generation from 0.301 to 0.465 m3kgVS-1. In contrast, extensive decomposition of hemicellulose in hybrid corn silage deteriorated the effect of pretreatment on methane production.

Abstract
The potential use of Bacillus velezensis FZB42 for biological control of various phytopathogens has been documented over the past few years, but its antagonistic interactions with xanthomonads has not been studied in detail. Novel aspects in this study consist of close observation of the death of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris cells in a co-culture with B. velezensis FZB42, and quantification of lipopeptides and a siderophore, bacillibactin, involved in the killing process. A new robust Xcc-SU isolate tolerating high concentrations of ferric ions was used. In a co-culture with the antagonist, the population of Xcc-SU was entirely destroyed within 24–48 h, depending on the number of antagonist cells used for inoculation. No inhibitory effect of Xcc-SU on B. velezensis was observed. Bacillibactin and lipopeptides (surfactin, fengycin, and bacillomycin) were present in the co-culture and the monoculture of B. velezensis. Except for bacillibactin, the maximum contents of lipopeptides were higher in the antagonist monoculture compared with the co-culture. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the death of Xcc-SU bacteria in co-culture was caused by cell lysis, leading to an enhanced occurrence of distorted cells and cell ghosts. Analysis by mass spectrometry showed four significant compounds, bacillibactin, surfactin, fengycin, and bacillomycin D amongst a total of 24 different forms detected in the co-culture supernatant: Different forms of surfactin and fengycin with variations in their side-chain length were also detected. These results demonstrate the ability of B. velezensis FZB42 to act as a potent antagonistic strain against Xcc.

Abstract
The purpose was to investigate a simultaneous biodegradation of the recalcitrant monoazo dye Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) in a mixed culture consisting of a biofilm of Pleurotus ostreatus-colonizing polyamide carrier and a suspension of the yeast Candida zeylanoides to see their biological interactions and possible synergistic action during degradation. Decolorization in the mixed culture was more effective than in the fungal monoculture, the respective decolorizations reaching 87.5% and 70% on day 11. The proliferation of yeast was reduced compared with the C. zeylanoides monoculture but enabled the yeast to participate in decolorization. The interaction of P. ostreatus with the yeast resulted in a gradual decrease of fungal manganese-dependent peroxidase (MnP) and laccase activities. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the degradation products brought evidence that P. ostreatus split the dye molecule asymmetrically to provide 4-(ethenylsulfonyl) benzene whose concentration was much decreased in the mixed culture suggesting its increased metabolization in the presence of the yeast. In contrast, C. zeylanoides split the azo bond symmetrically producing the metabolites 4-(ethenylsulfonyl) aniline and α-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid. Those metabolites were rapidly degraded in the mixed culture. A novel aspect is represented by the evidence of a mutual cooperative action of the fungal and yeast microorganisms in the mixed culture resulting in rapid decolorization and degradation of the dye.

Abstract
There are increasing efforts to identify biocontrol-active microbial metabolites in order to improve strategies for biocontrol of phytopathogens. In this work, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. conglutinans was confronted with three different biocontrol agents: Trichoderma harzianum, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa in dual culture bioassays. Metabolites produced during the microbial interactions were screened by a matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). T. harzianum exhibited the strongest inhibition of growth of F. oxysporum resulting in overlay of the pathogen colony with its mycelium. Recorded metabolite profiles suggested a direct attack of F. oxysporum mycelium by T. harzianum and B. amyloliquefaciens by means of membrane-attacking peptaibols and a set of antimicrobial lipopeptides and siderophores, respectively. The direct mode of the biocontrol activity of T. harzianum and B. amyloliquefaciens corresponded to their ability to suppress F. oxysporum production of mycotoxin beauvericin suggesting that this ability is not specific only for Trichoderma species. In the case of P. aeruginosa, siderophores pyoverdine E/D and two rhamnolipids were produced as major bacterial metabolites; the rhamnolipid production was blocked by F. oxysporum. The results showed that this type of biocontrol activity was the least effective against F. oxysporum. The effective application of MALDI-MS profiling to the screening of nonvolatile microbial metabolites produced during the interaction of the phytopathogen and the biocontrol microorganisms was demonstrated.

Abstract
White-rot fungi are renowned for their remarkable potential to degrade a wide range of organic pollutants. They are applicable in standard bioreactors offering both the use of the continuous mode of action and easy upscaling of the biodegradation process. The recent advance in this field consisted in the use of various fungi and different types of reactors in the treatment of real wastewaters. Most degradation studies involving white-rot fungi carried out so far used controlled, aseptic conditions. However, during bioremediation of real wastewaters, the degradation capacity of the fungi would be significantly affected by autochthonous microorganisms. Consequently, for the development of sustainable bioremediation technologies, it is important to understand the mechanisms involved in the intermicrobial interactions occurring during the bioremediation process. This review summarizes recent applications of white-rot fungi to biodegradation of recalcitrant organopollutants under non-sterile conditions describing the invading microorganism(s) and the way how they affect the stability and degradation efficiency of the fungal bioreactor cultures. In addition, studies where fungal cultures were exposed to defined microbial stress are also reported documenting the effect and mechanisms of microbial interactions. Advanced OMICs techniques, specifically the genomics and metabolomics analyses, are suggested to help in identification of the invading microorganisms and in discovery of mechanisms taking part in the interspecific interactions.

Abstract
The aim was to investigate the effect of yeast organisms on the degradation process by immobilized cultures of ligninolytic fungi. Immobilization was accomplished by 7-day colonization of polyamide mesh with mycelial fragments. Irpex lacteus decolorized >90% of the initial concentration of 150mgl-1 of anthraquinone Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye in three subsequent decolorization cycles and the degradation capacity was not negatively affected by the presence of 106Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells per ml in the mixed culture. The yeast was not able to degrade the dye. I. lacteus biofilm was also resistant to bacterial infection with E. coli. Inoculation of the yeast to pre-formed I. lacteus biofilm culture resulted in a reduction of fungal biomass by 27%. Levels of LiP, MnP and laccase of I. lacteus were not much influenced by S. cerevisiae or E. coli. Similar resilience of P. ostreatus biofilms was observed after exposure to yeast Issatchenkia occidentalis when the fungal degradation capacity measured with Reactive Orange 16 azo dye was maintained over two decolorization cycles. I. occidentalis did not degrade the dye under the conditions used. Formation of densely packed fungal biofilms with abundant extracellular polysaccharide was not impeded by the yeast. Increase of MnP and laccase levels attributable to the presence of I. occidentalis was observed.

Abstract
White-rot fungi are efficient degraders of lignin whose extracellular enzymes have a potential to degrade organopollutants. In natural conditions these fungi enter into interactions with other organisms, which may affect their biodegradation capacity. The aim was to investigate the ability of Pleurotus ostreatus to form stable biofilms and to test the capacity of the fungus to degrade Remazol Brilliant Blue R in mixed cultures with bacteria. Bacterial counts were determined to see the behavior of the bacterium in the mixed culture with the fungus. In axenic conditions, the homogenized fungal mycelium was able to form an active biofilm which quickly degraded the dye. The addition of Pseudomonas fluorescens or Bacillus licheniformis bacteria at 106CFU·mL-1 did not affect the decolorization rate by 7-d-old fungal biofilms where the decolorization rate reached 90%. In contrast, when fragments of the fungal mycelium were used for inoculation to pre-formed biofilm of P. fluorescens, the biofilm was allowed to develop for one week's time, no decolorization of RBBR was observed and low activities of MnP and laccase were detected. The use of agar disks covered with fungal mycelium for the inoculation to pre-formed biofilm of P. fluorescens resulted in a fully developed biofilm that decolorized RBBR with similar efficiency as the pure P. ostreatus. The difference between the agar-disk- and homogenized-mycelium inoculated fungal biofilms was corroborated by the measurement of total fungal biofilm biomass that was 6-fold lower in the latter biofilm. Capability of the fungus to overcome the competition of the bacterial biofilm thus depended on the type of fungal growth centres, where intact hyphae were superior to the fragments of mycelium. A similar effect was not observed with the biofilms of B. licheniformis where the bacterial growth was less massive. The ability of P. ostreatus biofilms to resist massive bacterial stress was demonstrated.

Abstract
White rot fungi (WRF) are applicable to biodegradation of recalcitrant pollutants. However, excessive biomass growth typical for WRF cultivation can hinder their large scale applications. Therefore, immobilization of Irpex lacteus to liquid-core alginate beads restricting excessive mycelium growth and simultaneously keeping high degradation rate of pollutants was tested. Effective diffusivities of dyes to the beads varied from (2.98 ± 0.69) × 10-10 to (10.27 ± 2.60) × 10-10 m2/s. Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), Reactive Orange 16 (RO16), and Naphthol Blue Black (NBB) were used as model dyes. The immobilized fungus decolorized model dyes when applied both in microwell plates and in fluidized bed reactors. Using the microwell plates, the apparent reaction rate constants ranged from (2.06 ± 0.11) × 10-2 to (11.06 ± 0.27) × 10-2 1/h, depending on the dye used and its initial concentration. High initial concentrations negatively affected the dye decolorization rate. No fungal growth outside the beads was observed in fluidized bed reactors and thus no operational problems linked to an excessive biomass growth occurred. When RBBR was decolorized in subsequent batches in the fluidized bed reactor, the apparent reaction rate constant increased from (11.63 ± 0.35) × 10-2 to (29.26 ± 7.19) × 10-2 1/h.
