Textile industries discharge significant amounts of toxic chemicals, including residual dyes and various other xenobiotic compounds, into the environment, leading to adverse effects such as toxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity. While physico-chemical methods are commonly used for dye removal, bioremediation with microorganisms offers a greener and more eco-friendly alternative. Many microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and microalgae, possess the ability to degrade textile dyes through their metabolic pathways. However, their biodegradation potential is often hindered by factors such as cytotoxic effects of dyes, unfavorable environmental conditions, dye composition, concentration, and microbial types. In recent years, different strains of fungi, bacteria, and microalgae have been employed individually or in consortia for textile dye biodegradation. Nevertheless, there is a notable gap in research regarding the use of “bacterial–microalgal consortia” as a novel approach for efficient textile dye detoxification. This review aims to provide updated insights into the symbiotic interactions between bacteria and microalgae in degrading textile dyes. It discusses various technological, resource recovery, and economic challenges, as well as future prospects of this approach for textile wastewater treatment, emphasizing its potential for environmental and economic benefits.

The rise in technology and population has led to an increase in automobiles and the consumption of fossil fuels. Engine power comes from converting the chemical energy of fuel into work during fuel combustion. Scientists are working to improve engine output by using modifications like fuel injection systems, varying compression ratios, electronic ignition systems, and valve timing systems. However, stringent emission regulations are hindering these advancements in response to ecological challenges. Fuel combustion is linked to greenhouse gas emissions, climate change, global warming, air pollution, and health problems on a large scale. The consumption of fossil fuel resources directly correlates with the population and the welfare of society. The trend toward electric vehicles poses a threat to the use of waste biomass resources. However, biofuels are necessary due to their role in recycling waste biomass sources. The main obstacle to large-scale use of biodiesel fuels in diesel engines is their lower energy content, poor atomization, higher density, and viscosity. These biodiesel characteristics result in higher fuel consumption and NOx emissions due to lower thermal efficiency. Fuel additives are chemical compounds that can help optimize engine power and emissions. Fuel additives can be blended with base fuel, either diesel fuel or biodiesel fuel, to improve the thermo-physical properties of fuel and combustion, leading to lower fuel consumption, less engine wear, prevented failure, and optimized performance in cold weather. According to literature review, blending nanoparticles with fuel generally increases BTE from 1 to 25%, except for magnesium and carbon nanotube additives, which can reduce BTE by up to 4.8%. Hydrocarbon emissions generally decrease from 4 to 60%, while NOx emissions generally decline from 4 to 45%, except for manganese, aluminum oxide, 2 silicon dioxide, and carbon nanotubes. This review article comprehensively discusses fuel additives for their potential applications in automotive, making it easier for researchers and manufacturers to select fuel additives for specific purposes. The main objective of this review is to compare the performance and physicochemical properties of multiple fuel additives with biodiesel (base fuel) to extract maximum benefits from biofuels.

The biomass and premium extracts derived from D. salina possess diverse applications in industries like food, feed, health products, nutrition, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. However, D. salina's capacity to absorb and transform heavy metals, notably arsenic, can result in elevated arsenic concentrations in its products. This poses a challenge to large-scale D. salina breeding and introduces potential health risks. The impact of arsenic on D. salina product quality and the specific arsenic forms within its cells remain insufficiently understood. This study explores arsenic uptake and biotransformation mechanisms in D. salina exposed to arsenate (As V) and arsenite (As III). Our findings highlight D. salina's preference for As V , causing a significant rise in intracellular arsenic compared to As III exposure. Lower As V concentrations facilitate arsenic methylation and organic transformation, influencing compound ratios. As V triggers differential gene expression, upregulating metabolic pathways, arsenic transporters, and antioxidative defenses. Our results suggest that D. salina efficiently detoxifies arsenic by converting it into organoarsenicals, specifically arsenosugars and arsenicbetaine. This research offers valuable insights into microalgae's physiological and molecular responses to arsenic exposure, providing a foundation for understanding arsenic biotransformation mechanisms and potential applications in the large-scale breeding industry of D. salina.

The quest for novel functional food ingredients from natural sources is one of the most important discuss in food science and technology. Food industries dispose their valuable waste and some food industries re-process their wastes and used them as functional food ingredients, thereby developed their economy to survive in the neck cutting competition of the market. Enormous volumes of food processing by-products (FPBs) are produced from food manufacturing industries, accounting it as the second-largest quota of food waste generation. Fish known as ‘rich food for poor people,’ supplies good quality of fats, minerals vitamins and proteins to billions of populaces across the globe. However, the fish processing industry on daily basis generates huge wastes leading to the quest for management of these wastes. These wastes which can be referred to as by-products are generated during removal of head; gutting of the fish and during other secondary processing carried out either onboard in fishing vessels or at processing plants on the shores. Over the years there are bids for utilization of fish wastes and by products for production of functional food ingredients using bioactive compounds produced from them. This was aimed at reduction of processing waste, creation of sustainable economic boost, environmental safety while formulating value added functional food which could be of importance to human and animal health or wellbeing. By-products from fish processing such as blood, fleshy chunks of fatty fish, tails, liver from white lean fish, Fish heads, offal, viscera (gut, intestines, etc.), skin and shells have potentials utilization as raw materials for production of value-added functional food ingredients. Bioactive peptides isolated from various fish protein hydrolysates have reported to have several bioactivities such as immunomodulatory, antioxidative antihypertensive, antithrombotic, anticoagulant activities among others Hence from the review, the recovery of bioactive compound and utilization of these by-products are untapped sources for functional ingredients which can be applied in several aspects of food processing for the benefit of manufactures, supply series of nourishments, and consequently advancing the usefulness of the fish waste in consumers’ health and economic benefits of all stakeholders.
