Pharmaceutical Pollution in Aquatic Environments: A Concise Review of Environmental Impacts and Bioremediation Systems

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 13

Опубликована: Апрель 26, 2022

The presence of emerging contaminants in the environment, such as pharmaceuticals, is a growing global concern. excessive use medication globally, together with recalcitrance pharmaceuticals traditional wastewater treatment systems, has caused these compounds to present severe environmental problem. In recent years, increase their availability, access and drugs concentrations water bodies rise substantially. Considered contaminants, represent challenge field remediation; therefore, alternative add-on systems for plants are continuously being developed mitigate impact reduce effects on environment human health. this review, we describe current status pharmaceutical focusing bodies, analyzing development bioremediation especially mycoremediation, removal special focus fungal technologies.

Pharmaceuticals in the Aquatic Environment: A Review on Eco-Toxicology and the Remediation Potential of Algae

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 19(13), С. 7717 - 7717

Опубликована: Июнь 23, 2022

The pollution of the aquatic environment has become a worldwide problem. widespread use pesticides, heavy metals and pharmaceuticals through anthropogenic activities increased emission such contaminants into wastewater. Pharmaceuticals constitute significant class can seriously threaten health non-target organisms. No strict legal regulations on consumption release water bodies have been implemented global scale. Different conventional wastewater treatments are not well-designed to remove emerging from with high efficiency. Therefore, particular attention paid phycoremediation technique, which seems be promising choice as low-cost environment-friendly treatment. This technique uses macro- or micro-algae for removal biotransformation pollutants is constantly being developed cope issue contamination. aims this review are: (i) examine occurrence in water, their toxicity organisms describe inefficient treatments; (ii) present cost-efficient algal-based techniques contamination removal; (iii) characterize types algae cultivation systems; (iv) challenges advantages phycoremediation.

Astaxanthin as a King of Ketocarotenoids: Structure, Synthesis, Accumulation, Bioavailability and Antioxidant Properties

Marine Drugs, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21(3), С. 176 - 176

Опубликована: Март 13, 2023

Astaxanthin (3,3-dihydroxy-β, β-carotene-4,4-dione) is a ketocarotenoid synthesized by Haematococcus pluvialis/lacustris, Chromochloris zofingiensis, Chlorococcum, Bracteacoccus aggregatus, Coelastrella rubescence, Phaffia rhodozyma, some bacteria (Paracoccus carotinifaciens), yeasts, and lobsters, among others However, it majorly lacustris alone (about 4%). The richness of natural astaxanthin over synthetic has drawn the attention industrialists to cultivate extract via two stage cultivation process. in photobioreactors expensive, converting soluble form so that can be easily assimilated our digestive system requires downstream processing techniques which are not cost-effective. This made cost prompting pharmaceutical nutraceutical companies switch astaxanthin. review discusses chemical character astaxanthin, more inexpensive cultivating techniques, its bioavailability. Additionally, antioxidant this microalgal product against many diseases discussed, make compound an excellent drug minimize inflammation consequences.

Algae and bacteria consortia for wastewater decontamination and transformation into biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, biofertilizers and animal feed: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 21(3), С. 1585 - 1609

Опубликована: Янв. 20, 2023

Abstract Traditional wastewater treatment has been aimed solely at sanitation by removing contaminants, yet actual issues of climate change and depletion natural resources are calling for methods that both remove contaminants convert waste into chemicals fuels. In particular, biological treatments with synergic coupling microalgae bacteria appear promising to organic, inorganic, pathogen generate biofuels. Here, we review the use algae in valorization focus on cell-to-cell adhesion, properties, techniques harvesting production biodiesel, bioethanol, biohydrogen, exopolysaccarides, biofertilizers, animal feeds.
