(Springer, Singapore, 2026) Shaily Mishra, Arpit Srivastava, Paras Koshe, Chandan Mahata, Reena Vishvakarma, Ashutosh Pandey
In the current scenario, algal biomass has been perceived as a potential candidate for carbon sequestration and better substitute for environmental quality deteriorating toxic fossil fuels. Genetic and metabolic engineering are the highly advanced emerging technologies having great potential to improve the ability of algal cells to perform with increased efficiency. Recent advancements in genetic and metabolic engineering have significantly enhanced the potential of algal biomass for carbon sequestration, wastewater phycoremediation and sustainable bioenergy production. The Cutting-edge technologies such as CRISPR/Cas genome editing, TALENs and RNA interference have accelerated the precise manipulation of algal genomes leading to improved metabolic pathways for higher yields of biofuels and value-added bioactive compounds. Integrating synthetic biology with omics techniques has facilitated the engineering of the algal strains with increased efficiency in removing pollutants from wastewater and generated industrially relevant products. This chapter focuses on the recent advancements in metabolic engineering approaches to improve algal biomass for enhancing their ability of wastewater phycoremediation, bioenergy and industrial applicability of harvested algal biomass and several value-added bioactive compounds from algal biomass.
Nanomaterials: Environmental Presence and Health Effects
(Scrivener Publishing, Wiley, 2026) Misba Khan, Mariyam Rafi, Nisha Ali, Archana Vimal, Reena Vishvakarma
Nanotechnology is currently being used in diverse fields owing to the unique features of the nanomaterials such as enhanced mechanical, chemical, and optical characteristics, greater ratio of surface area to volume, and lower melting points. These distinct features have caused the development of nanomaterials as highly sought-after materials in biomedical, biotechnology, cosmetics, imaging techniques, energy, and electronics fields. Nanomaterials include metal oxide and polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and dendrimers which have efficiently exhibited their presence and essence in the aforementioned advanced techniques and fields, however, their presence in these diverse areas has directly enhanced their presence in the environment which has ultimately caused human exposure and other living organisms to these nanomaterials through water, air, and the food chain. Specifically, nanoparticles are known to persist for long durations due to their oxidative properties, thereby exhibiting toxicity in human cells. Nanoparticles are known to accumulate in and exhibit adverse effects on the liver, heart, kidney, and other organs. Considering these negative effects of the nanomaterials, it is imperative to design a regulatory framework and specific guidelines for their safe disposal. Therefore, this chapter focuses on discussing the toxic effects of various nanomaterials, their fate in the environment, as well as their impact on human health to widen the knowledge base of the readers with the current scenario of the environmental presence and adverse consequences of nanoparticles on human health which would aid in deciphering measures to counter the growing adverse influence of these nanomaterials.
