Native herbivores indirectly facilitate the growth of invasive Spartina in a eutrophic saltmarsh - Xiao Xu; Yan Zhang; Songshuo Li; Hongyang Chen; Mu Liu; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Ecology, 2022)
Current theory (e.g., consumer‐controlled theory) predicts that nutrient enrichment typically amplifies herbivory and thereby suppresses the growth and expansion of invasive plants. Herbivores can facilitate plant regrowth in the native community by stimulating complementary growth or ameliorating habitat conditions (e.g., by increasing soil oxygen and nutrient availability), but whether they have similar positive effects on invasive plants, especially under nutrient enrichment, remains unknown. Using a field nitrogen (N)‐enrichment × crab exclusion experiment, we evaluated and compared the effects of both N enrichment and crab herbivory on the growth performance of a global invasive cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora , and a co‐occurring native plant, Phragmites australis . We found that crabs consistently suppressed P. australis by density and aboveground biomass regardless of N enrichment. In contrast, for S. alterniflora , the negative effects of crabs under ambient N were replaced by positive effects under N enrichment, with crabs stimulating complementary increases in density and aboveground biomass. The differing effects between the N treatments were driven by crab burrowing activity, which increased soil N availability, and the nutrient‐use efficiency of S. alterniflora . Our findings revealed that native herbivores can have opposing effects on native and invasive plants, which broadens our understanding of how exotic plants can achieve dominance in a changing world.

Design optimization of perforation on deflector for improved performance of vortex settling basin * - Zhuoyun Mu; Yiyi Ma; Lin Li (Irrigation and Drainage, 2022)
For vortex settling basins (VSBs) installed with a deflector, perforation is an effective retrofit to reduce the self‐weight of the deflector and sediment deposition on it. The current study investigated experimentally the performance of VSBs the deflector of which was perforated at different locations with various opening ratios. The results showed that perforating the outside overflow area of the deflector was the optimum for reducing sediment deposition. With an opening ratio of 8.67–13% in the outside overflow area of the deflector, the VSB exhibited similar sediment removal efficiency to the original design without any openings on the deflector. The current study provided the design optimization for deflector perforation in VSBs.

Development of Recombinant Dihydrolipoamide Dehydrogenase Subunit Vaccine against Vibrio Infection in Large Yellow Croaker - Xiaomeng Li; Yuanzhen Tan; Zheng Zhang; Yupeng Huang; Pengfei Mu; Zhengwei Cui; Xinhua Chen (Fishes, 2022)
Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea), an economically important marine fish in China, has suffered from serious vibriosis, which has resulted in great economic losses for the large yellow croaker industry. Vaccination has been considered to be a safe and effective method to prevent and control vibriosis. However, due to the complex diversity and serotypes of the Vibrio genus, the progress of Vibrio vaccine development is still slow. In this study, we prepared recombinant Vibrio dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (rDLD) protein and investigated its potential as a candidate to be a subunit vaccine against Vibrio. The lysozyme activity and the rDLD-specific antibody level in sera of large yellow croakers immunized with rDLD were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the transcript levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β), MHC IIα/β, CD40, CD8α, IL-4/13A, and IL-4/13B were significantly up-regulated in the spleen and head kidney of large yellow croakers immunized with rDLD, suggesting that rDLD could induce both specific and nonspecific immune responses in this species. In addition, rDLD protein increased the survival rate of large yellow croakers against Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, with the relative percent of survival (RPS) being 74.5% and 66.9%, respectively. These results will facilitate the development of a potential subunit vaccine against Vibrio in large yellow croaker aquaculture.

Exploring the Occurrence Characteristics of Microplastics in Typical Maize Farmland Soils With Long-Term Plastic Film Mulching in Northern China - Jiajia Zhang; Guoyuan Zou; Xuexia Wang; Wencheng Ding; Li Xu; Baoyin Liu; Yunsen Mu; Xuran Zhu; Lianjie Song; Yanhua Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Microplastics pollution has been threatening the global environmental security, in which agricultural activities are considered as a main source of microplastics occurrence in soils. However, little is known about the occurrence characteristics of microplastics in agricultural soils with long-term plastic film mulching. Therefore, the abundance, distribution, and composition of microplastics were investigated by analyzing 225 soil samples collected from typical maize ( Zea mays L.) planting zones with and without long-term (>20 years) plastic film mulching in northern China. Microplastics abundance in mulched soils (754 ± 477 items kg –1 ) was significantly higher than that in non-mulched soils (376 ± 149 items kg –1 ), which indicated that plastic film mulching contributed half of microplastics in soils. Moreover, microplastics abundance was significantly positively related to the length of time with film mulching applied. The percentage of microplastics <0.5 mm in mulched soils (50.9%) was significantly lower than that in non-mulched soils (62.2%). Microplastics abundance and size in mulched and non-mulched soils decreased with increased soil depth. Most microplastics were fragments of polypropylene, films of polyethylene, and fibers of polyester. The proportion of films in mulched soils was significantly higher than in non-mulched soils, whereas that of fibers was significantly higher in non-mulched soils. This study confirmed that long-term plastic film mulching increases microplastics pollution in agricultural soils, warranting further evaluation of the associated ecological risks of microplastics in soil ecosystems.

Plant invasion alters latitudinal pattern of plant‐defense syndromes - Mu Liu; Yuanfei Pan; Xiaoyun Pan; Alejandro Sosa; Dana M. Blumenthal; Mark Van Kleunen; Bo Li (Ecology, 2021)
The relationship between herbivory and latitude may differ between native and introduced populations of invasive plants, which can generate latitudinal heterogeneity in the strength of enemy release. However, still little is known about how latitudinal heterogeneity in herbivore pressure influences latitudinal variation in defense phenotypes of invasive plants. We tested how latitudinal patterns in multi‐variate defense syndromes differed between native (Argentinian) and introduced (Chinese) populations of the invasive herb Alternanthera philoxeroides . In addition, to better understand the drivers underlying latitudinal patterns, we also tested whether associations of defense syndromes with climate and herbivory differed between native and introduced ranges. We found that native plant populations clustered into three main defense syndromes associated with latitude. In contrast, we only found two defense syndromes in the introduced range. One matched the high‐latitude syndrome from the native range, but was distributed at both the northern and southern range limits in the introduced range. The other was unique to the introduced range and occurred at mid‐latitudes. Climatic conditions were associated with variation in syndromes in the native range, and climatic conditions and herbivory were associated with variation in syndromes in the introduced range. Together, our results demonstrate that plants may under the new environmental conditions in the introduced range show latitudinal patterns of defense syndromes that are different from those in their native range. This emphasizes that geographical dependence of population differentiation should be explicitly considered in studies on the evolution of defense in invasive plants.

Metabolic Changes in Scylla paramamosain During Adaptation to an Acute Decrease in Salinity - Hongzhi Yao; Xing Li; Yuhao Chen; Guoling Liang; Gao Gao; Huan Wang; Chunlin Wang; Changkao Mu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The mud crab Scylla paramamosain is an important euryhaline mariculture species. However, acute decreases in salinity seriously impact its survival and can result in large production losses. In this study, we evaluated metabolic changes in S. paramamosain exposed to an acute salinity reduction from 23 psu to 3 psu. After the salinity decrease, hemolymph osmolality declined from 726.75 to 642.38 mOsm/kg H 2 O, which was close to the physiological equilibrium state. Activities of osmolality regulation-related enzymes in the gills, including Na + -K + -ATPase, CA, and V-ATPase all increased. Using LC-MS analysis, we identified 519 metabolites (mainly lipids). Additionally, 13 significant metabolic pathways ( P < 0.05) were identified via enrichment analysis, which were mainly related to signal pathways, lipids, and transportation. Our correlation analysis, which combined LC-MS and previous GC-MS data, yielded 28 significant metabolic pathways. Amino acids and energy metabolism accounted for most of these pathways, and lipid metabolism pathways were insignificant. Our results showed that amino acids and energy metabolism were the dominant factors involved in the adaptation of S. paramamosain to acute salinity decrease, and lipid metabolites played a supporting role.

Developing the non‐dimensional framework for water distribution formulation to evaluate sprinkler irrigation* - Ang Li; Xinyuan Mu; Xia Zhao; Jiamin Xu; Majid Khayatnezhad; Reza Lalehzari (Irrigation and Drainage, 2021)
Improving the application efficiency and leaching of solutes from the root zone in a sprinkler irrigation system are directly related to the uniformity of water distribution at the field surface. The coefficient of uniformity and distribution uniformity are affected by changes in wind speed and its direction, sprinkler characteristics and variations in operating pressure. The objective of this paper is to present modified equations for evaluating pressurized irrigation systems based on non‐dimensional infiltrated depths. The equations were obtained by four data groups including the average of the measured infiltration depths in any quarter. Coefficient of uniformity (CU), distribution uniformity (DU), application efficiency ( E a ) and deep percolation (DP) were used as performance indicators to evaluate the sprinkler irrigation system. The suggested method was compared to the existing approach to assess the evaluation indicators. Three data sets of observed information for wheel‐move, permanent solid set and semi‐solid set irrigation systems were collected in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari provinces to evaluate the proposed formulation. Furthermore, the relationships between CU and DU were analysed for three scenarios of infiltration depth. Results show that the application efficiency was 12% less than previous equations because of using four average values.

Molecular and functional identification of a β‐defensin homolog in large yellow croaker ( Larimichthys crocea ) - Kexin Li; Wanru Li; Xiaojuan Chen; Tian Luo; Yinnan Mu; Xinhua Chen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
β‐defensin (BD) is a cysteine‐rich cationic antibacterial peptide that is active against a wide range of bacteria. Here, a β‐defensin homolog ( Lc BD2) was identified in large yellow croaker ( Larimichthys crocea ). The open reading frame of Lc BD2 contains 195 nucleotides, encoding a protein of 64 amino acids that possesses a typical arrangement of six conserved cysteine residues (C 31 , C 37 , C 41 , C 53 , C 59 and C 60 ). Lc BD2 transcripts were constitutively expressed in all examined tissues and significantly increased in head kidney, spleen and gills by Vibrio alginolyticus . The synthetic Lc BD2 peptide imparted antimicrobial effects on both Gram‐negative bacteria ( V . campbellii , V . parahaemolyticus , V . alginolyticus , V . harveyi and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida ) and Gram‐positive bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis ). We also observed that after treatment with synthetic Lc BD2 peptide, numerous blisters appeared on the membrane of P . plecoglossicida , which in turn may result in cell membrane breakage and bacterial death. Moreover, the synthetic Lc BD2 peptide significantly upregulated the expression levels of TNF‐α2, IL‐1β and CXCL8_L1 in monocytes/macrophages, while downregulated expression level of IL‐10. The Lc BD2 peptide also remarkedly enhanced the phagocytosis of monocytes/macrophages. These results indicate that Lc BD2 not only protects large yellow croaker against multiple bacterial pathogens but also plays a role in activation of monocytes/macrophages.

(Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Type II toxin‐antitoxin (TA) systems modulate many essential cellular processes in prokaryotic organisms. Recent studies indicate certain type II antitoxins also transcriptionally regulate other genes, besides neutralizing toxin activity. Herein, we investigated the diverse transcriptional repression properties of type II TA antitoxin PaHigA from Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Biochemical and functional analyses showed that PaHigA recognized variable pseudopalindromic DNA sequences and repressed expression of multiple genes. Furthermore, we presented high resolution structures of apo‐PaHigA, PaHigA‐P higBA and PaHigA‐P pa2440 complex, describing how the rearrangements of the HTH domain accounted for the different DNA‐binding patterns among HigA homologues. Moreover, we demonstrated that the N‐terminal loop motion of PaHigA was associated with its apo and DNA‐bound states, reflecting a switch mechanism regulating HigA antitoxin function. Collectively, this work extends our understanding of how the PaHigB/HigA system regulates multiple metabolic pathways to balance the growth and stress response in P. aeruginosa and could guide further development of anti‐TA oriented strategies for pathogen treatment.

Distinct tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly regimes enhanced under recent global warming - Jing Li; Lin Mu; Linhao Zhong (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
El Niño and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events are usually monitored by tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) patterns with dramatic impacts on the global climate. To explore the diversity of the tropical Pacific SSTA, a novel method combined empirical orthogonal function analysis and the K‐means clustering algorithm is carried out to classify SSTA patterns during 1950–2016. Meanwhile, the total distance variance and total silhouette value are introduced to determine an optimal number of distinguishable representative SSTA patterns. Ten SSTA patterns are obtained, which shows frequent basin‐wide warming and extreme cold ENSO events in recent decades. It may be attributed to the changes in composition of the intrinsic modes along with the background mode of slowly increasing east–west SST gradient. The comparative analysis between periods 1950–1969 and 1997–2016 suggests that the two regimes of tropical Pacific SSTA, featured as extreme warm and moderate warm/extreme cold patterns respectively, become more distinct under recent global warming.

We calculated the pooled incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with azithromycin based on prospective studies (RCTs and prospective cohort studies) and analyzed the risk difference (RD) of ADRs between azithromycin and placebo or other antibiotics using meta-analysis of RCTs. Results We included 133 studies with 4243 ADRs reported in 197,675 neonates, infants, and children who received azithromycin. The safety of azithromycin as MDA in pediatrics was poorly monitored. The main ADRs were diarrhea and vomiting. In prospective non-MDA studies, the most common toxicity was gastrointestinal ADRs (938/1967; 47.7%). The most serious toxicities were cardiac (prolonged QT or irregular heart beat) and idiopathic hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS). Compared with placebo, azithromycin did not show increased risk ADRs based on RCTs (risk difference − 0.17 to 0.07). The incidence of QT prolonged was higher in the medium-dosage group (10–30 mg/kg/day) than that of low-dosage group (≤ 10 mg/kg/day) (82.0% vs 1.2%). Conclusion The safety of azithromycin as MDA needs further evaluation. The most common ADRs are diarrhea and vomiting. The risk of the most serious uncommon ADRs (cardiac-prolonged QT and IHPS) is unknown.

Key message Ogura CMS fertility-restored materials, with 18 chromosomes, normal seed setting, stable fertility and closer genetic background to the parent Chinese kale, were successfully developed in B. oleracea via a triploid strategy for the first time. Abstract Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is the most widely used sterile type in seed production for commercial hybrids of Brassica oleracea vegetables. However, the natural Ogura CMS restorer line has not been found in B. oleracea crops. In this study, the triploid strategy was used with the aim to create euploid B. oleracea progenies with the Rfo gene. The allotriploid AAC hybrid YL2 was used as a male parent to backcross with Ogura CMS Chinese kale. After successive backcrosses, the BC 2 Rfo -positive individual 16CMSF2-11 and its BC 3 progenies, with 18 chromosomes, were developed, which were morphologically identical to the parent Chinese kale. Compared with F 1 and BC 1 plants, it showed stable fertility performance, and regular meiosis behavior and could produce seeds normally under natural pollination. The genomic composition analysis of Rfo -positive progenies by using molecular markers showed that more than 87% of the C-genome components of BC 3 Rfo -progenies recovered to the parent Chinese kale, while most or all of the A n -genome segments were lost in 16CMSF2-11 and its progenies. The results suggested that the genetic background of Rfo -positive individuals was closer to that of the parent Chinese kale along with backcrossing. Hereof, the Ogura CMS fertility-restored materials of Chinese kale were successfully created via triploid strategy for the first time, providing a bridge for utilizing the Ogura CMS B. oleracea germplasm in the future. Moreover, our study indicates that the triploid strategy is effective for transferring genes from B. napus into B. oleracea .

Identifying areas at risk of drought‐induced tree mortality across South‐Eastern Australia - Martin G. De Kauwe; Belinda E. Medlyn; Anna M. Ukkola; Mengyuan Mu; Manon E. B. Sabot; Andrew J. Pitman; Patrick Meir; Lucas A. Cernusak; Sami W. Rifai; Brendan Choat; David T. Tissue; Chris J. Blackman; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
South‐East Australia has recently been subjected to two of the worst droughts in the historical record (Millennium Drought, 2000–2009 and Big Dry, 2017–2019). Unfortunately, a lack of forest monitoring has made it difficult to determine whether widespread tree mortality has resulted from these droughts. Anecdotal observations suggest the Big Dry may have led to more significant tree mortality than the Millennium drought. Critically, to be able to robustly project future expected climate change effects on Australian vegetation, we need to assess the vulnerability of Australian trees to drought. Here we implemented a model of plant hydraulics into the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) land surface model. We parameterized the drought response behaviour of five broad vegetation types, based on a common garden dry‐down experiment with species originating across a rainfall gradient (188–1,125 mm/year) across South‐East Australia. The new hydraulics model significantly improved (~35%–45% reduction in root mean square error) CABLE’s previous predictions of latent heat fluxes during periods of water stress at two eddy covariance sites in Australia. Landscape‐scale predictions of the greatest percentage loss of hydraulic conductivity (PLC) of about 40%–60%, were broadly consistent with satellite estimates of regions of the greatest change in both droughts. In neither drought did CABLE predict that trees would have reached critical PLC in widespread areas (i.e. it projected a low mortality risk), although the model highlighted critical levels near the desert regions of South‐East Australia where few trees live. Overall, our experimentally constrained model results imply significant resilience to drought conferred by hydraulic function, but also highlight critical data and scientific gaps. Our approach presents a promising avenue to integrate experimental data and make regional‐scale predictions of potential drought‐induced hydraulic failure.

Summary Successful application of microorganisms to heavy metal remediation depends on their resistance to toxic metals. This study contrasted the differences of tolerant mechanisms between Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ in Enterobacter sp. Microbial respiration and production of formic acid showed that Enterobacter sp. had a higher tolerant concentration of Pb (>1000 mg l −1 ) than Cd (about 200 mg l −1 ). Additionally, SEM confirmed that most of Pb and Cd nanoparticles (NPs) were adsorbed onto cell membrane. The Cd stress, even at low concentration (50 mg l −1 ), significantly enlarged the sizes of cells. The cellular size raised from 0.4 × 1.0 to 0.9 × 1.6 μm on average, inducing a platelet‐like shape. In contrast, Pb cations did not stimulate such enlargement even up to 1000 mg l −1 . Moreover, Cd NPs were adsorbed homogeneously by almost all the bacterial cells under TEM. However, only a few cells work as ‘hot spots’ on the sorption of Pb NPs. The heterogeneous sorption might result from a ‘self‐sacrifice’ mechanism, i.e., some cells at a special life stage contributed mostly to Pb sorption. This mechanism, together with the lower mobility of Pb cations, caused higher microbial tolerance and removal efficiency towards Pb 2+ . This study sheds evident contrasts of bacterial resistance to the two most common heavy metals.

Identification of Crack Length and Angle at the Center Weld Seam of Offshore Platforms Using a Neural Network Approach - Qingxi Yang; Gongbo Li; Weilei Mu; Guijie Liu; Hailiang Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The reconstruction algorithm for the probabilistic inspection of damage (RAPID) is aimed at localizing structural damage via the signal difference coefficient (SDC) between the signals of the present and reference conditions. However, tomography is only capable of presenting the approximate location and not the length and angle of defects. Therefore, a new quantitative evaluation method called the multiple back propagation neural network (Multi-BPNN) is proposed in this work. The Multi-BPNN employs SDC values as input variables and outputs the predicted length and angle, with each output node depending on an individual hidden layer. The cracks of different lengths and angles at the center weld seam of offshore platforms are simulated numerically. The SDC values of the simulations and experiments were normalized for each sample to eliminate external interference in the experiments. Then, the normalized simulation data were employed to train the proposed neural network. The results of the simulations and experimental verification indicated that the Multi-BPNN can effectively predict crack length and angle, and has better stability and generalization capacity than the multi-input to multi-output back propagation neural network.

Nonlinear optimal moisture perturbations as excitation of primary MJO events in a hybrid coupled climate model - Yuntao Wei; Hong-Li Ren; Mu Mu; Joshua-Xiouhua Fu (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
Although the moisture feedback has been well known to be essential in the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) dynamics, whether its pre-moistening effect plays a key role in exciting the onset of primary MJO events, as has been confirmed in the successive initiation, remains elusive. In this study, using a hybrid coupled climate model that has a good fidelity in simulating the intraseasonal variability, we develop a new framework of methodology to investigate the nonlinear excitation of primary MJO event, of which the key achievement is the successful implementation of the conditional nonlinear optimal perturbation (CNOP). In an application of this new framework, the CNOP-type moisture perturbations are calculated for the pre-chosen non-MJO reference states and generally favor a moistening in the equatorial region while drying in the poleward. Comparisons of the model simulation with observation give credibility to the existence of moisture signals several weeks before some primary MJO events. A suite of numerical experiments confirms that the CNOPs of moisture can contribute to the excitation and propagation of strong primary MJO events while random perturbations cannot. The moisture budget analysis further reveals the central importance of the horizontal moisture advection, especially the nonlinearly upscaled moisture transports associated with the high-frequency disturbances on the quasi-3–4-day and 6–8-day synoptic time scales, in supporting the nonlinear excitation of the primary MJO events. The subgrid-scale processes of evaporation, condensation and eddy transport of moisture are found to be critical for the pre-moistening effect in the boundary layer as well. This study directly supports the vital importance of the moisture perturbations, which are characterized by a particular pattern concentrated at low levels, to the nonlinear growth and propagation of the primary MJO events.

High‐quality sea surface temperature measurements along coast of the Bohai and Yellow Seas in China and their long‐term trends during 1960–2012 - Yan Li; Lin Mu; Qingyuan Wang; Guoyu Ren; Qinglong You (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
As semi‐enclosed and shallow seas, the Bohai and Yellow Seas (hereafter, BYS) marine ecosystems are more easily affected by natural and anthropogenic climate changes than those in the open oceans. An accurate assessment of sea surface temperature (SST) change is crucial for the near‐shore water environment. In this work, new high‐quality monthly mean SST time series from 11 in situ coastal hydrological stations at BYS for the period of 1960–2012 have been generated. Monthly mean SST time series were initially subjected to penalized maximal t (PMT) test, using homogeneous monthly mean surface air temperature (SAT) series as references. Homogenized monthly mean SST series were obtained by adjusting all significant change points which have been supported by historic metadata. Our study shows that there are 29 significant change points in these 11 SST series. The majority of them are caused by instrument changes and station relocations—both account for about 51.7 and 31%, respectively. Then, homogeneous SST series are used to assess the long‐term trends. As the regional average, the annual mean homogeneous SST series shows a rapid warming trend, with the rate of 0.21°C/decade. Compared to the homogeneous SST series, the original SST series underestimate the long‐term trend (only 0.13°C/decade), indicating the artificial change points usually result in a warm‐bias in the early period measurements. Seasonally, the most significant warming occurs in boreal winter during the period analysed. The relationships of the significant warming in boreal winter and atmospheric circulation modes have also been investigated. Results reflect the remarkable and direct influence of the East Asian Trough (EAT) on SST along the coastal BYS.

A new insight into lead (II) tolerance of environmental fungi based on a study of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum - Da Tian; Zhongquan Jiang; Liu Jiang; Mu Su; Zheye Feng; Lin Zhang; Shimei Wang; Zhen Li; Shuijin Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Environmental microorganisms have been widely applied in heavy metal remediation. This study explored the mechanisms of lead tolerance of two typical filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum . It is shown that the mechanisms of reducing Pb toxicity by these two fungi have three major pathways. The secreted oxalic acid can react with Pb (II) to form insoluble Pb minerals, primarily lead oxalate. Then, the enhanced biosorption via forming new border of cell wall prevents the transportation of Pb (II) into hypha. In addition, the fungal activity could be maintained even at high Pb concentration due to the intracellular accumulation. It was confirmed that A. niger has the higher Pb tolerance (up to 1500 mg l −1 Pb level) compared with P. oxalicum (up to 1000 mg l −1 ). Meanwhile, Pb levels below 1000 mg l −1 partially stimulate the bioactivity of A. niger , which was confirmed by its elevated respiration (from 53 to 63 mg C l −1 medium h −1 ). This subsequently enhanced microbial functions of A. niger to resist Pb toxicity. A better understanding of Pb tolerance of these two fungi sheds a bright future of applying them to remediate lead‐contaminated environments.
