“…Apart from microbial nanofibers, the microbial immobilization of wastewater treatment has proved its efficiency in removing and biodegradation of many types of wastewater pollutants for a low cost, highly efficient, high surface area, chemically and physically stable carriers, and excellent biological compatibility [72]. More concerns were focused on the microbial removal of emerging pollutants, and the green catalysts using enzymes such as laccase during wastewater treatment [73]. Concerning the suggested mechanism of nanofibers during the water treatment, this is presented in Figure 6, as well as the list of some suggested kinds of nanofibers as well.…”

“…Whereas, the disadvantages may include high voltage, differential pore size and fiber thickness, and toxic solvents. The mechanisms of removing pollutants (e.g., heavy metals and others) from wastewater using nanofibers involve the photocatalytic process, adsorption, ion exchange, diffusion dialysis, electrostatic processes, and metal-organic framework crystal or polymers [73]. The application of nanofibers as adsorbents mainly depends on their functional groups in the polymeric matrix, which have high selectivity for removing the target pollutants [29].…”

Natural resources including water, energy, and food have an increase in demand due to the global population increases. The sustainable management of these resources is an urgent global issue. These resources combined in a very vital nexus are called the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus. The field of nanotechnology offers promising solutions to overcome several problems in the WEF nexus. This review is the first report that focuses on the suggested applications of nanofibers in the WEF sectors. An economic value of nanofibers in WEF sectors was confirmed, which was mainly successfully applied for producing clean water, sustainable energy, and safe food. Biotechnological solutions of nanofibers include various activities in water, energy, and food industries. These activities may include the production of fresh water and wastewater treatment, producing, converting, and storing energy, and different activities in the food sector. Furthermore, microbial applications of nanofibers in the biomedicine sector, and the most important biotechnological approaches, mainly plant tissue culture, are the specific focus of the current study. Applying nanofibers in the field of plant tissue culture is a promising approach because these nanofibers can prevent any microbial contamination under in vitro conditions, but the loss of media by evaporation is the main challenge in this application. The main challenges of nanofiber production and application depend on the type of nanofibers and their application. Different sectors are related to almost all activities in our life; however, enormous open questions still need to be answered, especially the green approach that can be used to solve the accumulative problems in those sectors. The need for research on integrated systems is also urgent in the nexus of WEF under the umbrella of environmental sustainability, global climate change, and the concept of one’s health.

“…Due to peroxidase's potential applications in various industries, these characteristics have attracted attention [ 16 , 21 ]. Also, peroxidases that are already on the market, like horseradish peroxidase (HRP), Bjerkandera adusta peroxidase, and streptavidin peroxidase, are not likely to meet the growing need for peroxidases in industry.…”

Environmental contamination by phenol has been reported in both aquatic and atmospheric environments. This study aimed to separate and purify the peroxidase enzyme from bacteria that degrade phenol from wastewater sources. An enrichment culture of MSM was used to screen 25 bacterial isolates from different water samples for peroxidase production, six of the isolates exhibited high levels of peroxidase enzyme activity. Qualitative analysis of peroxidase revealed that isolate No. 4 had the highest halo zones (Poly-R478: 14.79 ± 0.78 mm, Azure B: 8.81 ± 0.61 mm). The promising isolate was identified as Bacillus aryabhattai B8W22 by 16S rRNA gene sequencing with accession number OP458197. As carbon and nitrogen sources, mannitol and sodium nitrate were utilized to achieve maximum peroxidase production. A 30-h incubation period was used with pH 6.0, 30 °C, mannitol, and sodium nitrate, respectively, for maximal production of peroxidase. Purified peroxidase enzyme showed 0.012 U/mg specific activity, and SDS-PAGE analysis indicated a molecular weight of 66 kDa. The purified enzyme exhibits maximum activity and thermal stability at pH values of 4.0 and 8.0, respectively, with maximum activity at 30 °C and complete thermal stability at 40 °C. In the purified enzyme, the Km value was 6.942 mg/ml and the Vmax value was 4.132 mol/ml/hr, respectively. The results demonstrated that Bacillus aryabhattai B8W22 has promising potential for degrading phenols from various phenol-polluted wastewater sources.

“…How much lignin in natural carbon is around 30%. Unfortunately, around 95% of lignin is presently singed straightforwardly for energy creation, which might prompt the arrangement of natural contaminations such as dioxins, particulate matter, oxygenated sweet-smelling hydrocarbons, and polycyclic fragrant hydrocarbons that hurt the climate [6][7][8][9][10]. Besides, lignin is utilized as a substitution for lower-quality synthetic compounds and merchandise, for example, saps, dust-controlling added substances, folio structure, dispersants, and penetrating liquids for oil wells [11].…”

The use of renewable energy sources is receiving more and more attention, because of the various adverse consequences related to utilizing non-sustainable power sources. In addition to other things, the biomass of horticultural harvests has been demonstrated to be a feasible nonrenewable energy source, pursuing it a seriously charming decision to separate or make steam-added items. These days, the pulp and paper sector produces 50 to 70 million tonnes of lignin annually, and most of it is burned to recover energy. Because it is a naturally occurring aromatic polymer rich in functional hydroxyl groups, lignin has attracted interest from both academia and business for its potential use in the production of polymeric products. Polyurethanes (PUs) are among the most significant polymers that may be produced from lignin, particularly given the variety of uses for which they are used. Lignin has a variety of uses, including those of glue, adhesive, sticky material, furniture, building structures, cement, and biomaterials. In an assortment of specialized, modern, and other environmentally friendly power applications, rice husk and debris are utilized in the ongoing examination to explore new and late green/supportable use. The foundation data on agro-squander applications is additionally given, and how much silica can be delivered from rice husk against other agro-squander sources is differentiated.
