Plastic production has been increasing at enormous rates. Particularly, the socioenvironmental problems resulting from linear economy model have widely discussed, especially regarding plastic pieces intended for single use and disposed improperly in environment.

Regarding manufacturing processes, carbon dioxide is produced mainly through heating of process streams intrinsic chemical transformations, explaining why first-generation petrochemical industries are among top five most (GHG)-polluting businesses.

A bibliographic database of scientific papers published by authors affiliated to research institutions worldwide, especially focused in Europe and the European Atlantic Area, containing keywords “microalga(e)” or “phytoplankton” was built. corpus 79,020 publications obtained analyzed using Orbit Intellixir software characterize trends related microalgae markets, markets opportunities technologies that could have important impacts on evolution. Six major opportunities, production biofuels, bioplastics, biofertilizers, nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals cosmetics, two fast-evolving technological domains driving evolution, harvesting extraction genetically modified (GM-)microalgae, were highlighted. We here present an advanced analysis these give updated overview concepts markets.

Culturing microalgae using dairy-wastes offers the opportunity of producing valuable biomass for different industrial applications. The capability four Chlorella species and a recombinant Chlamydomonas reinhardtii strain to mixotrophically grow in wastewaters from an Italian dairy factory was investigated. A robust algal growth could be efficiently sustained these wastes, despite abundance d-Lactose (~4% w/v), that not metabolized by any microalgal species. Non axenic cocultivation together with microbial communities wastes resulted marked decrease their pollution load, thus reducing necessity expensive treatments before discharge municipal sewage system. Microalgae cultivated were characterized lipid content ranging 12% 21% (w/w), Auxenochlorella protothecoides reaching highest productivity (~0.16 g/L/d) whereas transplastomic C. expressing thermostable β-glucosidase reached enzyme 0.18 mg/L/d.

Cell wall degrading enzymes (CWDEs) are a heterogeneous group of including glycosyl-hydrolases, oxidoreductases, lyases and esterases. Microbes with activities towards plant cell polysaccharides the most relevant source CWDEs for industrial applications. These organisms secrete wide array in amounts strictly necessary their own sustenance, nonetheless production from wild type microbes can be increased at large-scale by using optimized fermentation strategies. In last decades, advances genetic engineering allowed expression recombinant also lab-domesticated such as E. coli, yeasts plants, dramatically increasing available options CWDEs. The optimization CWDE-producing biofactory is hard challenge that biotechnologists tackle testing different strategies expression-hosts. Although both yield costs critical factors to produce biomolecules scale, these parameters often disregarded basic research. This review presents main characteristics applications directed bacteria, fungi microalgae. Different biofactories CWDE compared order highlight strengths weaknesses each system how aspects impact final enzyme cost and, consequently, economic feasibility

Changes in the environment due to multiple factors such as combustion of fossil fuels, heating, transportation, deforestation, etc. had led more greenhouse gases atmosphere that eventually lead rise global temperatures. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is major factor for rapid temperature. One best encouraging technological advances address warming transform CO2 into value-added commodities offer a win-win strategy. In this regard, intensive research has been pursued around world development feasible systems product recovery or synthesis from rich industrial emissions. We envision biological reduction conversion process can be beneficial developing carbon neutral technologies. The integration emitting technologies with converting helpful achieving sustainable products no minimal loss energy and materials which assuring improved economics. bioprocesses directly integrated processes high amount CO2. This symbiotic make whole neutral. Herein, review highlights an insight on activities mitigation using photo catalysts (algae bacteria), anaerobic biocatalyst (bacteria), gas fermentation enzymatic catalyst. Perspectives challenges these have discussed.
