Marine Drugs, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 21(2), P. 93 - 93

Published: Jan. 28, 2023

Due to the constant growth of human population and anthropological activity, it has become necessary use sustainable affordable technologies that satisfy current future demand for agricultural products. Since nutrients available plants in soil are limited need increase yields crops is desirable, chemical (inorganic or NPK) fertilizers been widespread over last decades, causing a nutrient shortage due their misuse exploitation, because uncontrolled these products, there latent environmental health problem globally. For this reason, green biotechnology based on microalgae biomass proposed as alternative development improvers crop cultivation phytoremediation. This review explores long-term risks using both (cancer hypoxia) environment (eutrophication erosion), well potential substitute fertilizer different treatments application methods implementation soil; additionally, can be source carbon mitigation wastewater treatment agro-industrial processes.

Development of serum-free and grain-derived-nutrient-free medium using microalga-derived nutrients and mammalian cell-secreted growth factors for sustainable cultured meat production

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(1)

Published: Jan. 10, 2023

Considering the amount of global resources and energy consumed, animal welfare issues associated with traditional meat production, cultured production has been proposed as a solution to these problems is attracting worldwide attention. Cultured produced by culturing/proliferating muscle cells in vitro. This process requires significant amounts culture medium, which accounts major portion cost. Furthermore, it composed nutrients derived from grains heterotrophic microorganisms fetal bovine serum (FBS), will impact sustainability future. Here, we developed novel medium containing extracted microalga cell-secreted growth factors. First, rat liver epithelial RL34 were adding Chlorella vulgaris extract (CVE) inorganic salt solution. The supernatant, factors, was used conditioned (CM). CM, CVE added nutrient source, applied primary myoblast cultures. serum-free grain-derived-nutrient-free promoted proliferation myoblasts, main cell source for beef. Our findings allow us take step toward reducing costs environmental impacts, leading an expansion market.

Research Progress on the Mechanisms of Algal–Microorganism Symbiosis in Enhancing Large-Scale Lipid Production

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 5, 2025

Microalgae, characterized by their exceptional lipid content, rapid growth, and robust adaptability, represent a promising biological resource. In natural engineered ecosystems, microalgae engage in intricate symbiotic relationships with diverse microorganisms, dynamic interplay essential for ecological resilience metabolic optimization. This review examines the role of microorganisms microalgal growth accumulation, particular emphasis on regulatory mechanisms that govern these processes. These include nutrient exchange, phytohormone-mediated stimulation, cofactors, quorum-sensing-driven community coordination. The highlights how microbial interactions facilitate optimal production enhancing pathways, thereby improving efficiency accumulation microalgae. Furthermore, investigates horizontal gene transfer as an evolutionary driver fortifies algal-microbial consortia against environmental stressors, enabling performance fluctuating conditions. integration insights holds transformative potential advancing next-generation bioenergy platforms, where systems could play pivotal biofuel production, wastewater treatment, sustainable agriculture.

Advancements in Microalgal Biorefinery Technologies and Their Economic Analysis and Positioning in Energy Resource Market

Fermentation, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 9(3), P. 202 - 202

Published: Feb. 21, 2023

In the energy sector, bioenergy has been utilized as a replacement for non-renewable resources. Due to depletion of resources, mankind may face adversities in future. To overcome these challenges, sustainable and reliable bioenergy-based alternatives are be used. Bioenergy sources bio-based that have become acceptable society their renewability, sustainability, environmentally friendly characteristics, but they still lag market due less cost-effective output upstream downstream processing comparison with age-old fossil fuels. This review provides detailed overview techno-economic life cycle assessment, positioning competition market, strategies might assist them overcoming challenges. Microalgal products lifting at slower rate is almost unnoticeable, assistance becoming better solution against resource future makes quite promising. The new research microalgal biomass conversion biorefinery production, which based on combating pollution reuse waste products, along strategic application competition, also highlighted.

Oleaginous microorganisms as a sustainable oil source with a focus on downstream processing and cost-lowering production strategies: A review

Bioresource Technology Reports, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 26, P. 101871 - 101871

Published: May 31, 2024

The increased demand for specialty oils, driven by a growing population and thus consumption as well seasonal fluctuations, poses challenges the environment edible oil industries. Oleaginous microorganisms offer promising solution they are capable of yielding oils with high concentrations polyunsaturated fatty acids or profiles similar to that traditional fats. These have applications in diverse industries, including food, biofuels, pharmaceuticals, healthcare. While multiple studies explore strains suitable industrial-scale production, data comparison remains limited. versatility utilising various carbon sources, independence, minimal ecological footprint. However, downstream processing steps still hinder overall profitability commercialisation. This review takes bioprocess engineering approach, focusing on upstream processing, up-scale, practical economic considerations, innovative strategies developed lower production costs.
