The application of microbial strains as axenic cultures has frequently been employed in a diverse range sectors. In the natural environment, microbes exist multispecies and perform better than monocultures. Cell signaling communication pathways play key role engineering consortia, because consortium, microorganisms communicate via diffusible signal molecules. Mixed have gained little attention due to lack proper knowledge about their interactions with each other. Some ideas proposed deal study various when they live together community, for biotechnological purposes. environments, can possess unique metabolic features. Therefore, consortia divide burden among group robustly pesticide degradation. Synthetic desired functions at naturally contaminated sites. this article, special is paid function environment.

Pesticides are chemical constituents used to prevent or control pests, including insects, rodents, fungi, weeds, and other unwanted organisms. Despite their advantages in crop production disease management, the use of pesticides poses significant hazards environment public health. Pesticide elements have now perpetually entered our atmosphere subsequently contaminated water, food, soil, leading health threats ranging from acute chronic toxicities. can cause toxicity if a high dose is inhaled, ingested, comes into contact with skin eyes, while prolonged recurrent exposure leads toxicity. produce different types toxicity, for instance, neurotoxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, teratogenicity, endocrine disruption. The pesticide formulation may depend on specific active ingredient presence synergistic inert compounds that enhance modify its Safety concerns need hour contemporary pesticide-induced hazards. effectiveness implementation current legislature providing ample protection human key concerns.

Опубликована: Май 25, 2021

Nanotechnology has become a very advanced and popular form of technology with huge potentials. been well explored in the fields electronics, automobiles, construction, medicine, cosmetics, but exploration nanotecnology’s use agriculture is still limited. Due to climate change, each year around 40% crops face abiotic biotic stress; global demand for food increasing, nanotechnology seen as best method mitigate challenges disease management by reducing chemical inputs such herbicides, pesticides, fungicides. The these toxic chemicals potentially harmful humans environment. Therefore, using NPs fungicides/ bactericides or nanofertilizers, due their small size high surface area reactivity, reduces problems plant management. There are several methods that have used synthesize NPs, physical methods. Specially, we need ecofriendly nontoxic synthesis NPs. Some biological organisms like plants, algae, yeast, bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi emerged superlative candidates (also considered green synthesis). Among methods, endophytic microorganisms widely low metallic ions, which opens new possibility on edge nanotechnology. In this review, will discussed different top-down, bottom-up, (specially including microorganisms) mechanisms, forms magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO-NPs), copper (Cu-NPs), chitosan (CS-NPs), β-d-glucan (GNPs), engineered (quantum dots, metalloids, nonmetals, carbon nanomaterials, dendrimers, liposomes), molecular approaches various aspects. At level, nanoparticles, mesoporous silica (MSN) RNA-interference molecules, can also be tools carry genetic material during engineering plants. management, biosensors diagnose disease.

Living organisms are surrounded with heavy metals such as methylmercury, manganese, cobalt, cadmium, arsenic, well pesticides deltamethrin and paraquat, or atmospheric pollutants quinone. Extensive studies have demonstrated a strong link between environmental human health. Redox toxicity is proposed one of the main mechanisms chemical-induced pathology in humans. Acting both sensor oxidative stress positive regulator antioxidants, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (NRF2) has attracted recent attention. However, role NRF2 plays pollutant-induced not been systematically addressed. Here, we characterize function response to various pollutants, metals, quinones. related signaling pathways epigenetic regulations also reviewed.

Threatening the global community is a wide variety of potential threats, most notably invasive pest species. Invasive species are non-native organisms that humans have either accidentally or intentionally spread to new regions. One effective and first lines control strategies for controlling pests application insecticides. These toxic chemicals employed get rid pests, but they pose great risks people, animals, plants. Pesticides heavily used in managing current era. Due overuse synthetic chemicals, numerous already developed resistance. The resistance development main reason failure manage Developing pesticide management techniques necessitates thorough understanding mechanisms through which insects acquire insecticide Insects use behavioral, biochemical, physiological, genetic, metabolic methods deal with can lead continuous overexpression detoxifying enzymes. An overabundance enzymes causes resistance, pesticides rendering them ineffective against pests. A key factor amplification certain enzymes, specifically esterases, Glutathione S-transferase, Cytochromes p450 monooxygenase, hydrolyses.

Nowadays, edible insects are considered an outstanding source of nutrients, primarily because they contain high-quality protein, amino acids, and vitamins. Insects a promising alternative protein towards alleviating future global food shortage problems due to their production as being more sustainable by using less agricultural land water, well releasing smaller amount greenhouse gas emissions. However, other important aspects consider about the consumption include health benefits some safety aspects, which has been relatively overlooked. In this sense, bioactive compounds that can provide diverse bioactivities, such antioxidant, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory with positive impact on human health. On hand, nutrient-rich perfect growth medium for microorganisms, possess anti-nutritive factors. These two main could represent concerns consumers. context, recent scientific evidence indicates preservation methods, mainly thermal treatments, utilized in cooking or processing decreased microbial levels factors, suggests do not critical biological risk humans. Besides, have effect gut microbiota, either pre-biotic antimicrobial activity pathogens.
