Unfortunately, anthropogenic activities, climate change, and the release of gases from the utilization of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are causing detrimental effects on sustainable food production and agroecosystems. Despite these challenges, there remain underutilized opportunities for sustainable food production. This review discusses the advantages and benefits of utilizing microbes in food production. Microbes can be used as alternative food sources to directly supply nutrients for both humans and livestock. Additionally, microbes offer higher flexibility and diversity in facilitating crop productivity and agri-food production. Microbes function as natural nitrogen fixators, mineral solubilizers, nano-mineral synthesizers, and plant growth regulator inducers, all of which promote plant growth. They are also active organisms in degrading organic materials and remediating heavy metals and pollution in soils, as well as soil-water binders. In addition, microbes that occupy the plant rhizosphere release biochemicals that have nontoxic effects on the host and the environment. These biochemicals could act as biocides in controlling agricultural pests, pathogens, and diseases. Therefore, it is important to consider the use of microbes for sustainable food production.</p>","PeriodicalId":8999,"journal":{"name":"BioTechnologia","volume":"104 2","pages":"209-216"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/1e/12/BTA-104-2-50646.PMC10323739.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9801101","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the biosynthesis of structurally consistent alginates is crucial to replace the algal alginates. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the structural and alginate's structural and functional properties of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> CMG1418 as a substitute. To achieve this, the CMG1418 alginates were physiochemically characterized using various techniques such as transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared <sup>1</sup>H-NMR, <sup>13</sup>C-NMR, and gel permeation chromatography. The synthesized CMG1418 alginate was then subjected to standard tests to evaluate its biocompatibility, emulsification, hydrophilic, flocculation, gelling, and rheological properties. The analytical studies revealed that CMG1418 alginate is an extracellular and polydisperse polymer with a molecular weight range of 20 000-250 000 Da. It comprises 76% poly-(1-4)-β-D-mannuronic acid (M-blocks), no poly-α-L-guluronate (G-blocks), 12% alternating sequences of β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid (poly-MG/GM-blocks), 12% MGM-blocks, 172 degrees of polymerization, and di-O-acetylation of M-residues. Interestingly, CMG1418 alginate did not show any cytotoxic or antimetabolic activity. Moreover, compared to algal alginates, CMG1418 alginate exhibited higher and more stable flocculation efficiencies (70-90%) and viscosities (4500-4760 cP) over a wide range of pH and temperatures. Additionally, it displayed soft to flexible gelling abilities and higher water-holding capacities (375%). It also showed thermodynamically more stable emulsifying activities (99-100%) that surpassed the algal alginates and commercial emulsifying agents. However, only divalent and multivalent cations could slightly increase viscosity, gelling, and flocculation. In conclusion, this study explored a structurally di-O-acetylated and poly-G-blocks-deficient, biocompatible alginate, and its pH and thermostable functional properties. This research suggests that CMG1418 alginate is a superior and more reliable substitute for algal alginates in various applications, such as viscosifying, soft gelling, flocculating, emulsifying, and water-holding.</p>","PeriodicalId":8999,"journal":{"name":"BioTechnologia","volume":"104 2","pages":"137-155"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c5/a6/BTA-104-2-50641.PMC10323745.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9811665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study assessed ZSB isolated from cow dung for their plant growth-promoting (PGP) characteristics and potential to enhance tomato plant growth. The experiment assayed a total of 30 bacteria from cow dung for Zn-solubilization using insoluble ZnO and ZnCO<sub>3</sub>. Atomic absorption spectroscopy quantitatively evaluated Zn-solubilization, and the isolates were further studied for Zn-solubilization and plant growth in <i>Solanum lycopersicum</i>. The CDS7 and CDS27 isolates were the most significant Zn-solubilizing strains. CDS7 exhibited increased ZnO solubility (32.1 mg/l) compared to CDS21 (23.7 mg/l). PGP trait quantitative results revealed that the CDS7 and CDS21 bacterial strains solubilized insoluble phosphate (287.2 and 217.7 μg/ml, respectively) and produced indole acetic acid (22.1 and 14.8 μg/ml, respectively). Based on 16S rRNA gene sequencing, CDS7 and CDS21 were identified as <i>Pseudomonas kilonensis</i> and <i>Pseudomonas chlororaphis</i>, and 16S rDNA sequences were submitted to the GenBank database. Furthermore, ZSB strains were administered to tomato seeds under a pot study. The treatments with CDS7 inoculant and a consortium of both isolates were reported with maximum plant development (stem length 63.16 and 59.89 cm, respectively) and zinc content (3.13 and 2.36 mg/100 g, respectively) in tomato fruit compared to the control. In conclusion, microorganisms isolated from cow dung with PGP activity can improve Zn bioavailability and plant growth sustainably. They can be used as biofertilizers in agricultural fields to improve plant growth and production.</p>","PeriodicalId":8999,"journal":{"name":"BioTechnologia","volume":"104 2","pages":"157-169"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/b2/94/BTA-104-2-50642.PMC10323744.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9811668","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
