Background: Coffea arabica L. is belongs to the Rubiaceae, is worldwide value for the coffee beverage. This experiment is aims to prove algae as bio-fertilizer in Coffea arabica L. The role of BGA and moss prevent the soil as dry condition which also provide the nutrients for the crops.Methods: Experiment was conduct in the plastic house in Kangwon National University, using the 2 yrs. Coffea arabica L. seedling dividing into four groups; Algae+NPK, Algae, NPK, Control. Results: The height, branching and number of leaves is higher in case of Algae+NPK. The following order is observed in each group; Algae+NPK >Algae >NPK >Control with water.Conclusions: The algae proves that the positive role of Coffea arabica for growth and development which can be used for the manure in the coffee farm.

“…In addition to different solutions to huge environmental problems like deficiency of nitrogen content in the soil composting causing pollution must work in parallel with other action. Algae can serve the purpose by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and synthesizing plant growth promoters as nitrogen content of the soil is the second major factor affecting plant growth after water [66,67]. Biofertilizers made from algae will be an effective replacement for chemical fertilizers by means of circular bioeconomy.…”

Global environmental protection is of immediate concern and it can only be achieved by avoiding the use of fossil fuels. In addition, waste disposal and management could be made remunerative through the generation of renewable energy so that sustainable development is ensured. India is an agriculture-based country, and paddy residues such as rice straw and rice husk are the largest agricultural wastes in India. Currently, the common practice to dispose paddy residues is through field burning, but this has adverse effects on the air quality and consequently on people's health. However, utilization of lignocellulosic and non-food agricultural residues such as paddy residue for biogas generation by solid-stated anaerobic digestion (AD) is promising and this can substitute fossil fuels. Paddy residues for biogas production via AD has not been widely adopted because of its complex cell wall structure making it resistant to digestion by microbial attack. In addition, sequestration of carbon dioxide from biogas by algal biomass cultivated in an integrated algal bioreactor could be a promising option for biogas enrichment due to its unmatched advantages. This chapter presents the overview on utilization of non-edible residues for biogas production and its enrichment via algal biomass by means of circular bioeconomy.

“…The adaptation to a variety of conditions featured by extremely different marine environments determines an enormous amount of genetic and functional diversity [14], offering a precious source of biological materials and molecules which are contributing to innovation in many fields [1], including medicine and pharmacology [15], nutrition [16,17,18], agriculture [18,19,20,21], biofuels [22,23,24], cosmetics [25,26,27], innovations for sustainability (e.g., bioremediation [28] and bioplastics [29]), and other industrial sectors. As other examples, the marine microbiota appears to be a promising and endless source for new drug development [30,31,32], with new chemotherapeutants, novel antibiotics and health products to prevent and combat diseases [15], cancer [17,33,34], and drug-resistant pathogens [35], which are becoming a significant threat to public health.…”

“…In health sciences, many marine natural products were revealed to be toxins or bioactive compounds, and were deeply studied to understand their action [15,17,33,36] and possible applications. In food sciences and agriculture, the marine environment has always been a gold mine [16,17,18,19,20,21], even when exploited as by-products or waste materials [19,20]. Marine products such as the algae-derived polysaccharides (e.g., agar), which have been used in food processing and preservation since the first half of the last century [21,37], are now widely used in nutrition but also for the delivery of bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals [38], or even for innovative opportunities (e.g., to produce degradable bioplastics [29]) for sustainable products.…”

The sea represents a major source of biodiversity. It exhibits many different ecosystems in a huge variety of environmental conditions where marine organisms have evolved with extensive diversification of structures and functions, making the marine environment a treasure trove of molecules with potential for biotechnological applications and innovation in many different areas. Rapid progress of the omics sciences has revealed novel opportunities to advance the knowledge of biological systems, paving the way for an unprecedented revolution in the field and expanding marine research from model organisms to an increasing number of marine species. Multi-level approaches based on molecular investigations at genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic, metatranscriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic levels are essential to discover marine resources and further explore key molecular processes involved in their production and action. As a consequence, omics approaches, accompanied by the associated bioinformatic resources and computational tools for molecular analyses and modeling, are boosting the rapid advancement of biotechnologies. In this review, we provide an overview of the most relevant bioinformatic resources and major approaches, highlighting perspectives and bottlenecks for an appropriate exploitation of these opportunities for biotechnology applications from marine resources.
