Intercropping of Saccharum spp. with Dictyophora indusiata: effects on microbial communities and metabolite profiles during bagasse degradation by Mingzheng Duan, Mingzheng Duan, Xiaojian Wu, Shengfeng Long, Hairong Huang, Xiang Li, Yijie Li, Changning Li, Bin Feng, Jiafu Chen, Defa Zhong, Zhendong Chen, Zeping Wang

“…In addition, unique metabolites such as L-alanine, serine, and oxaloacetate were detected in the DIBA treatment, suggesting more efficient bagasse degradation compared with natural processes.ConclusionThe use of macrofungi such as D. indusiata can play a pivotal role in circular agriculture by transforming agricultural waste into valuable soil amendments. Future research should focus on the long-term impact of this system on soil quality and crop yield, as well as the underlying mechanisms, to further optimize intercropping systems and the use of fungi in agricultural waste management.…”
