Abstract

The bacterial genus Massilia was first described in 1998, and since then has attracted growing interest due to its ecological plasticity and biotechnological promise. Certain species of the genus Massilia inhabit a variety of ecosystems, from arid deserts to polar glaciers, and exhibit unique adaptations such as resistance to cold and heat. In contaminated environments, some members of Massilia contribute significantly to the detoxification of heavy metals and the degradation of organic pollutants, presenting them as promising agents for bioremediation. In addition, Massilia species improve plant resistance and facilitate pollutant absorption in phytoremediation strategies. New research also highlights their potential as bioindicators of environmental health, given their abundance in anthropogenically influenced ecosystems and airborne microbial communities. In addition to their ecological roles, some Massilia species have potential in biotechnological applications by producing biopolymers and secondary metabolites. Here, we integrate findings across various habitats to present a comprehensive overview of the ecological and biotechnological importance of the genus Massilia. We highlight critical knowledge gaps and propose future research directions to fully harness the potential of this not fully explored bacterial genus to address environmental challenges, including contamination.

利用细菌属Massilia的生态和基因组适应性进行环境和工业应用
Massilia细菌属于1998年首次被描述,自那时以来,由于其生态可塑性和生物技术前景而吸引了越来越多的兴趣。从干旱的沙漠到极地的冰川,麻草属的某些物种栖息在各种生态系统中,并表现出独特的适应性,如抗寒和抗热。在受污染的环境中,一些马西利亚成员对重金属的解毒和有机污染物的降解有重要贡献,使它们成为生物修复的有前途的药物。此外,在植物修复策略中,马尾草还能提高植物的抗性,促进污染物的吸收。新的研究还强调了它们作为环境健康生物指标的潜力,因为它们在受人为影响的生态系统和空气传播的微生物群落中含量丰富。除了它们的生态作用外,一些麻属植物通过生产生物聚合物和次生代谢物在生物技术方面具有潜在的应用价值。在这里,我们整合了不同栖息地的发现,以全面概述马尾莲属的生态和生物技术重要性。我们强调了关键的知识差距,并提出了未来的研究方向,以充分利用这种尚未充分探索的细菌属的潜力,以应对包括污染在内的环境挑战。
