“…In this context, the ecological relevance of photoautotroph microorganisms suggests that they can be used as biofertilizers and biostimulants in sustainable agriculture, products which vaguely imply the co-culture of photosynthetic microorganisms [26]. Previous studies have shown promising results, reinforcing the advantage of these microbes in co-culture approaches.…”

Meso- and extremophilic microalgae and cyanobacteria have a wide range of biotechnological applications. However, the industrial demand for bioactive molecules and the redundancy of these molecules has resulted in a need for new methodologies for enhanced production and the discovery of specialized metabolites. Co-cultivation has been established as a promising approach to addressing these challenges. In this context, this work aimed to describe the state of the art of the co-cultivation method involving meso- and extremophilic photosynthetic microorganisms, as well as discuss the advantages, challenges, and limitations of this approach. Co-culture is defined as an ecology-driven method in which various symbiotic interactions involving cyanobacteria and microalgae can be used to explore new compounds and enhanced production. Promising results regarding new bioactive metabolite expression and increased production through co-cultivation-based research support that idea. Also, the metabolic diversity and evolutionary adaptations of photosynthetic microorganisms to thrive in extreme environments could improve the efficiency of co-cultivation by allowing the implementation of these microorganisms. However, the complexity of ecological interactions and lack of standardization for co-cultivation protocols are obstacles to its success and scientific validation. Further research in symbiotic interplays using -omics and genetic engineering, and predictive experimental designs for co-cultures are needed to overcome these limitations.

“…Commercial applications for these algae extracts include crop production system amendments and growth stimulants. Numerous review publications have provided extensive descriptions of these plant growth-promoting chemicals/hormones, which include auxins, betaine, cytokinins, abscisic acid, gibberellins, ethylene, and polyamines [119,120]. The amount and kind of growth-regulating chemicals, particularly PGRs, that are present in seaweed biomass are currently the subject of extensive research [121].…”

Microalgae (MiA) have been portrayed as a sustainable alternative for conventional sources of biofuels, several food and feed systems, and renewable energy sources. Microalgal biomass has attracted considerable attention for its potential to produce high quantities of value-added compounds, including pigments, vitamins, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), and antioxidants. In this context, a plethora of existing and potential studies and reviews elicit the applied technologies for bio valorization of algal biomass and sustainable and integrated biorefinery approaches for production of high-value products. The focus of the present review is to provide insights on current trends in the production of lipids and pigments from the alga biomass, and employing eco-conscious methodologies for the extraction of compounds from the microalgal biosphere holds significant importance.

“…Using some seaweeds (predominantly brown) in organic fertilizer formulations poses a soil and plant contamination risk by the inorganic As. To solve this problem, methods of inorganic As extraction from seaweeds can be applied before their use [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ].…”

Newly synthesized cerium oxide was successfully obtained by the hard templating route. The optimal As(III) and As(V) adsorption onto the studied adsorbent was reached for the initial pH of 4.0 and a contact time of 10 h. The highest static adsorption capacities for As(III) and As(V) were 92 mg g−1 and 66 mg g−1, respectively. The pseudo-second-order model was well fitted to the As(III) and As(V) experimental kinetics data. The Langmuir model described the As(III) and As(V) adsorption isotherms on synthesized material. The adsorption mechanism of the studied ions onto the synthesized cerium oxide was complex and should be further investigated. The optimal solid–liquid ratio during the proposed aqueous extraction of inorganic As from the Fucus vesiculosus algae was 1:50. The optimal dosage of the synthesized cerium oxide (0.06 g L−1) was successfully applied for the first time for inorganic As removal from the aqueous algal extract.
