Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has long been framed as an epidemiological and public health concern. Its impacts on the environment are unclear. Yet, basis for AMR is altered cell physiology. Just this affects how microbes interact with antimicrobials, it can also affect they their own species, other non-living environment. Moreover, if globally notorious causing landscape-level environmental issues, then these effects could alter biodiversity ecosystem function a grand scale. To investigate possibilities, we compiled peer-reviewed literature from past 20 years regarding in toxic freshwater cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (HABs). We examined evidence of affecting HAB frequency, severity, or persistence. Although no study within our scope was explicitly designed to address question, multiple studies reported AMR-associated changes HAB-forming cyanobacteria (and co-occurring microbes) that pertained directly timing, toxicity, phase, well dynamics HAB-afflicted aquatic food webs. These findings highlight potential have far-reaching (including loss function) bring into focus importance confronting complex interrelated issues such HABs concert, interdisciplinary tools perspectives.

This comprehensive review investigates the potential of cyanobacteria, particularly nitrogen-fixing strains, in addressing global challenges pertaining to plastic pollution and carbon emissions. By analyzing distinctive characteristics including their minimal growth requirements, high photosynthetic efficiency, rapid rates, this study elucidates crucial role transforming sequestration, biofuel generation, biodegradable production. The investigation emphasizes cyanobacteria’s efficiency photosynthesis, positioning them as optimal candidates for cost-effective bioplastic production with minimized land usage. Furthermore, explores unconventional yet promising utilization biodiesel production, mitigating environmental concerns such sulfur emissions presence aromatic hydrocarbons. resulting exhibits significant combustion potential, establishing cyanobacteria a viable option sustainable Through assessment both achievements encountered during commercialization process, offers valuable insights into diverse contributions cyanobacteria. Its objective is provide guidance researchers, policymakers, industries interested harnessing bio-inspired approaches structural applications, thereby advancing efforts towards environmentally conscious

Contaminations are challenging for monocultures, as they impact the culture conditions and thus influence growth of target organism overall biomass composition. In phycology, axenic cultures comprising a single living species commonly strived both basic research industrial applications, because contaminants reduce significance analytic purposes interfere with safety quality commercial products. We aimed to establish Limnospira fusiformis, known food additive "Spirulina". Axenicity is it ensures that pathogens or harmful microorganisms absent harvested consistent in terms For treatment, we applied sterile filtration, ultrasonication, pH repeated centrifugation, administration antibiotics. testing axenicity, considered most common verification method plate tests Lysogeny Broth (LB) medium, which indicated axenicity after treatments were performed. addition, included Reasoner's 2A (R2A) agar modified Zarrouk+ latter comparable biochemical properties L. fusiformis' cultivation medium. contrast LB plates, other media, particularly Zarrouk+, bacterial contamination. conclude LB-agar plates inappropriate contamination screening extremophiles. Contamination was also verified by cultivation-independent methods like flow cytometry 16S rRNA genome amplicon sequencing. detected taxa phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteriodota, Firmicutes lesser extent Verrucomicrobiota. Contaminants robust taxa, survived aggressive treatments. Sequencing data suggest some them promising candidates in-depth studies commercially exploit them.
