This review delves into the intricate traits of microbial communities encountered in spontaneously fermented foods (SFF), contributing to resistance, resilience, and functionality drivers. Traits SFF microbiomes comprise fluctuations community composition, genetic stability, condition-specific phenotypes. Synthetic (SMCs) serve as a portal for mechanistic insights strategic re-programming communities. Current literature underscores pivotal role shaping quality attributes preserving cultural heritage their origin. In contrast starter driven fermentations that tend be more controlled but lacking capacity maintain or reproduce complex flavors intricacies found SFF. SMCs, therefore, become indispensable tools, providing nuanced understanding control over food microbiomes. They empower prediction engineering interactions metabolic pathways with aim optimizing outcomes processing. Summarizing current application SMCs foods, there is still space improvement. Challenges achieving stability reproducibility are identified, stemming from non-standardized approaches. The future direction should involve embracing standardized protocols, advanced monitoring synthetic biology applications. A holistic, multi-disciplinary approach paramount unleashing full potential fostering sustainable innovative applications systems.

This study explores biohydrogen production through dark fermentation, an alternative supporting sustainable hydrogen generation. Dark fermentation uses organic waste under anaerobic conditions to produce in the absence of light. Key process parameters affecting yield, including substrate type, microorganism selection, and conditions, were examined. Various substrates, such as wastes carbohydrates, tested, role facultative microorganisms optimizing was analyzed. The research also focused on factors pH, temperature, hydraulic retention time enhance yields scalability. Additionally, modelled using ASPEN Plus software 14. simulation identifies bottle necks this process. Due lack available data, modelling described processes required certain approximations. provides insight into key challenges that need be addressed for production. Future should indeed explore current limitations, efficiency, scalability, cost-effectiveness, well potential advancements like genetic engineering microbial strains improved bioreactor designs.
