In recent years, overexplorations of ore and the growth industries are prime factors in release heavy metals environments. As a result, food crops water bodies contaminated with which may have several adverse effects on health humans other living species. These metalloids, such as Zn, Cu, Mn, Ni, Cr, Pb, Cd, As, upset biochemical pathways metabolite synthesis organisms contribute to etiology different diseases. Microorganisms include bacteria, archaea, viruses, many unicellular eukaryotes, can span three domains life—Archaea, Bacteria, Eukarya—and some microorganisms, cyanobacteria, shown high efficiency biosorption rate metals. Cyanobacteria suitable for bioremediation they grow environments, less negative impact surrounding environment, relatively cheaper manage. The structure cyanobacteria has no extensive internal-bound membranes, so it directly employ physiological mechanisms uptake from contamination sites. Such makeups managing bioremediating metal concentrations polluted This review aims explore potential metalloids bodies. Additionally, we identified prospects enhancing effectiveness.

Synthetic biology is an exciting new area of research that combines science and engineering to design build biological functions systems. Predictably, with the development synthetic biology, more efficient economical photosynthetic microalgae chassis will be successfully constructed, making it possible break through laboratory into large-scale industrial applications. The synthesis a range biochemicals has been demonstrated in cyanobacteria; however, low product titers are biggest barrier commercialization cyanobacterial biotechnology. This review summarizes applied improvement strategies from perspectives cyanobacteria cells biology. harvest advantages products latest progress improving production discussed according status. As still its infancy, apart achievements made, difficulties challenges application genetic tool kits biochemical synthesis, environmental monitoring, remediation were assessed.
