Abstract:The alarming levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) are an environmental problem that affects the economic growth of the world. CO2 emissions represent penalties and restrictions due to the high carbon footprint. Therefore, sustainable strategies are required to reduce the negative impact that occurs. Among the potential systems for CO2 capture are microalgae. These are defined as photosynthetic microorganisms that use CO2 and sunlight to obtain oxygen (O2) and generate value-added products such as biofuels, among oth… Show more
“…Microalgae and cyanobacteria are key contributors to the food chain within the diverse soil microbiota, showcasing their remarkable adaptability to thrive even in adverse conditions such as dry, semi-arid, and wetland ecosystems [269,270]. Photosynthetic microorganisms known as microalgae have a natural ability to fix carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) 10 to 50 times more quickly than terrestrial plants can in order to produce oxygen (O 2 ) [271]. Prokaryotic (cyanobacteria) and eukaryotic (green algae, euglenoids, and diatoms) organisms are the primary photosynthetic microorganisms comprising the immensely diverse group known as microalgae [272,273].…”
Section: Role Of Soil Microbes In Carbon Sequestrationmentioning
Plant roots aid the growth and functions of several kinds of microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, mycorrhizal fungi, endophytic bacteria, actinomycetes, nematodes, protozoans which may impart significant impacts on plant health and growth. Plant soil–microbe interaction is an intricate, continuous, and dynamic process that occurs in a distinct zone known as the rhizosphere. Plants interact with these soil microbes in a variety of ways, including competitive, exploitative, neutral, commensal, and symbiotic relationships. Both plant and soil types were found to have an impact on the community diversity and structure of the rhizosphere, or vice versa. The diversity of microorganisms in soil is thought to be essential for the management of soil health and quality because it has different plant growth-promoting or biocontrol effects that could be very advantageous for the host plant and alter plant physiology and nutrition. The composition of microbial community is influenced by soil and plant type. Besides these beneficial microbes, the soil also harbors microorganisms that are detrimental to plants, competing for nutrients and space, and causing diseases. Numerous microorganisms have antagonistic activity and the ability to defend plants from soil-borne diseases. The study of the soil microbiome is essential for formulating strategies for transforming the rhizosphere to the benefit of the plants. This review pays special emphasis on the types of microbial populations in the soil and how they influence plant growth, nutrient acquisition, inter-relationships between soil microbes and plants, stress resistance, carbon sequestration, and phytoremediation.

“…Microalgae provide an alternative solution for biological IAQ improvement [13,[25][26][27][28][29]. This method is highly advantageous because of very little energy use for algae growth (10 to 50 g/m 2 /day, doubling the mass every 24 h [27]) and faster carbon removal due to the high cellular photosynthetic efficiency (~12%) [30].…”

Microalgae-based photobioreactors (PBRs) have gained attention as a sustainable solution for indoor air quality (IAQ) control. This study investigates indoor CO2 absorption performance of Spirulina maxima (S. maxima) in NaHCO3-limited cultivation (standard: NaHCO3-free medium = 1:1 v/v%) of a lab-scale PBR system. Cultivation performance of three medium amendments (standard, 50% NaHCO3, and NaHCO3-free) was compared by observing cell growth for 30 days in a controlled environment. Empirical examinations were conducted to evaluate the algal CO2 uptake, and overall system performance in the culture volumes of 2, 4, and 7 L and natural indoor CO2 concentration of ~1100 ppm. We found CO2 was reduced by ~55%, in an air chamber of 0.064 m3, showing the greatest mitigation rate (~20%) on Day 4. Under a high concentration of CO2 (10,000 ppm), the CO2 levels were decreased up to ~90% before saturation. This research provides valuable insights into the development of S. maxima-activated IAQ control systems for airtight buildings.
“…The VOSviewer version 1.6.16 and Cor-Text Manager software types were used to determine bibliometric networks such as Co-occurrence maps, Co-authorship, and contingency matrix. It is noteworthy that the compiled documents were filtered in order to avoid the repetition of terms with abbreviations and hyphens [ 25 , 26 ].…”
Section: Bibliometric Analysis Of Deproteinized Natural Rubbermentioning
Natural Rubber Field Latex (NRFL) allergens restrict its use in some markets due to health-threatening allergic reactions. These molecules are proteins that are related to asymptomatic sensitization and hypersensitivity mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). Although NRFL allergens have been investigated since the 1980s, there are still gaps in knowledge regarding the development of deproteinized natural rubber (DPNR). Therefore, in this study, the deproteinization of NRFL from the lower basin of the Cauca River, Antioquia-Colombia was evaluated using eight systems. The highest removal value was 84.4% and was obtained from the treatment containing SDS (Sodium dodecyl sulfate), Urea, and Ethanol. It was also possible to determine that at high concentrations of SDS, removal percentages higher than 70% are reached. On the other hand, all deproteinizing systems decreased NRFL Zeta potentials without self-coagulation, suggesting enhanced colloidal stability in DPNR latex. On the other hand, the bibliometric analysis presented technological advances in DPRN through different parameters and bibliometric networks. The analysis presented makes an important contribution from the bibliometric approach that could be positive for the development of research on DPNR.
