The steady increase in human population and a rising standard of living heighten global demand for energy. Fossil fuels account more than three-quarters energy production, releasing enormous amounts carbon dioxide (CO2) that drive climate change effects as well contributing to severe air pollution many countries. Hence, drastic reduction CO2 emissions, especially from fossil fuels, is essential tackle anthropogenic change. To reduce emissions cope with the ever-growing energy, it develop renewable sources, which biofuels will form an important contribution. In this Essay, liquid first fourth generation are discussed detail alongside their industrial development policy implications, focus on transport sector complementary solution other environmentally friendly technologies, such electric cars.

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms which represent a significant source of novel, bioactive, secondary metabolites, and they also considered an abundant bioactive compounds/drugs, such as dolastatin, cryptophycin 1, curacin toyocamycin, phytoalexin, cyanovirin-N phycocyanin. Some these compounds have displayed promising results in successful Phase I, II, III IV clinical trials. Additionally, the cyanobacterial applied to medical research demonstrated exciting future with great potential be developed into new medicines. Most exhibited strong pharmacological activities, including neurotoxicity, cytotoxicity antiviral activity against HCMV, HSV-1, HHV-6 HIV-1, so metabolites could candidates for COVID-19 treatment. Therefore, effective large-scale production natural marine products through synthesis is important resolving existing issues associated chemical isolation, small yields, may necessary better investigate their biological activities. Herein, we highlight total synthesized stereochemical determinations compounds. Furthermore, this review primarily focuses on biotechnological applications cyanobacteria, cosmetics, food supplements, nanobiotechnological medicinal various human diseases discussed.

Heavy metals from various natural and anthropogenic sources are becoming a chief threat to the aquatic system owing their toxic lethal effect. The treatment of such contaminated wastewater is one prime concerns in this field. For decades, huge array innovative biosorbents used for heavy metal removal. Though extensive microbes biomolecules have been experimented showed great potential but most them failed substantial breakthrough practical application. present review emphasis on utilization cyanobacteria removal along with effect imposed by pollutant. Furthermore, significant parameters, plausible mechanistic insights toxicity onto also discussed detail. role extrapolymeric substances metallothionein secreted elaborated. was evident that cyanobacterial species towards aqueous ranging very low high concentrations.

Environmental pollution is one of the most pressing global issues, and it requires priority attention. remediation techniques have been developed over years can be applied to polluted sites, but they limited effectiveness high energy consumption costs. Bioremediation techniques, on other hand, represent a promising alternative. Among them, phytoremediation attracting particular attention, green methodology that relies use plant species remediate contaminated sites or prevent dispersion xenobiotics into environment. In this review, after brief introduction focused phytoremediation, biostimulants (PBs) in improvement proposed. PBs are substances widely used agriculture raise crop production resistance various types stress. Recent studies also documented their ability counteract deleterious effects pollutants plants, thus increasing efficiency some species. The works published date, reviewed discussed present work, reveal prospects environments, especially for heavy metals, when derived from humic substances, protein amino acid hydrolysate, inorganic salts, microbes, seaweed, extracts, fungi employed.

Billions of years ago, the Earth's waters were dominated by cyanobacteria. These microbes amassed to such formidable numbers, they ushered in a new era-starting with Great Oxidation Event-fuelled oxygenic photosynthesis. Throughout following eon, cyanobacteria ceded portions their global aerobic power photoautotrophs rise eukaryotes (i.e. algae and higher plants), which co-existed aquatic ecosystems. Yet while cyanobacteria's ecological success story is one most notorious within our planet's biogeochemical history, scientists this day still seek unlock secrets triumph. Now, Anthropocene has era fuelled excessive nutrient inputs greenhouse gas emissions, are again reshaping biomes. In response, we experiencing an increase cyanobacterial bloom distribution, duration, frequency, leading unbalanced, many instances degraded, A critical component resurgence freshwater-marine continuum: serves transport blooms, toxins produce, on premise that "water flows downhill".

Abstract With the construction of International Space Station, humans have been continuously living and working in space for 22 years. Microbial studies other extreme environments on Earth shown ability bacteria fungi to adapt change compared “normal” conditions. Some these changes, like biofilm formation, can impact astronaut health spacecraft integrity a negative way, while others, such as propensity plastic degradation, promote self-sufficiency sustainability space. next era exploration upon us, which will see crewed missions Moon Mars 10 years, incorporating microbiology research into planning, decision-making, mission design be paramount ensuring success long-duration missions. These include microbiome protect against infections, immune system dysfunction bone deterioration, or biological situ resource utilization (bISRU) that incorporate microbes act radiation shields, create electricity establish robust plant habitats fresh food recycling waste. In this review, information presented beneficial use bioregenerative life support systems, their applicability bISRU, capability genetically engineered biotechnological applications. addition, we discuss effect microbial communities may travel provide mitigation strategies reduce impact. Utilizing benefits microbes, understanding limitations, help us explore deeper develop sustainable human Moon, beyond.
