Therefore, it is important to reveal cellular indicators that could indicate the nature and level of HS' effects on living organisms. Paying attention to the important role of lipid and osmolytes in adaptation to stress, the aim of this work was to study the composition of osmolytes and lipids in the growth dynamics of the phytopathogenic melanin-containing fungus Alternaria alternata under the influence of humic acid (HA). HA was isolated from a commercial peat humic product. For cultivation, liquid Czapek medium with the addition of 200 mg/l HA (HA variant) was used, and with no HA for the control variant. The main osmolytes of the fungal mycelium were glucose, mannitol, and trehalose. Both in the control and in HA variants, a general pattern was observed during the growth process; the amount of glucose increased against the background of a decrease of ve and quantitative composition of the osmolytes and membrane lipids of A. alternata may cause changes of virulence and stress resistance of this phytopathogen.This study focused on producing high quality and yield of biodiesel from novel non-edible seed oil of abundantly available wild Raphnus raphanistrum L. using an efficient, recyclable and eco-friendly copper modified montmorillonite (MMT) clay catalyst. The maximum biodiesel yield of 83% was obtained by base catalyzed transesterification process under optimum operating conditions of methanol to oil ratio of 151, reaction temperature of 150 °C, reaction time of 5 h and catalyst loading of 3.5%. The synthesized catalyst and biodiesel were characterized for their structural features and chemical compositions using various state-of-the-art techniques, including x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, Fourier trans
