“…Cyanobacteria have the potential to be used for bioremediation of various contaminants like heavy metals, crude oil, pesticides, phenanthrene, naphthalene, phenols, and xenobiotics [92][93][94]. Some species of cyanobacteria possess the characteristics to decontaminate specific pollutants; a list of these potential bio-remediators is summarized in Table 2 below.…”

Continual increases in the human population and growing concerns related to the energy crisis, food security, disease outbreaks, global warming, and other environmental issues require a sustainable solution from nature. One of the promising resources is cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae. They require simple ingredients to grow and possess a relatively simple genome. Cyanobacteria are known to produce a wide variety of bioactive compounds. In addition, cyanobacteria’s remarkable growth rate enables its potential use in a wide range of applications in the fields of bioenergy, biotechnology, natural products, medicine, agriculture, and the environment. In this review, we have summarized the potential applications of cyanobacteria in different areas of science and development, especially related to their use in producing biofuels and other valuable co-products. We have also discussed the challenges that hinder such development at an industrial level and ways to overcome such obstacles.

“…Several cyanobacteria are known to establish symbiotic associations, and this ability could be exploited in developing the consortia of microorganisms for their application in bioremediation of affected soils or aquatic systems (Rai et al, 2000;Subashchandrabose et al, 2011;Hamouda et al, 2016). Strains of cyanobacteria which are native and adapted to local climatic conditions have a capacity to survive in wet soils.…”

“…Cyanobacteria can be used for the bioremediation of several contaminants such as heavy metals, pesticides, crude oil, phenanthrene, naphthalene, phenol, catechol, and xenobiotics (Kesaano and Sims, 2014;Hamouda et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2016;Singh et al, 2016). Synechococcus elongatus, Microcystis aeruginosa and Anacystics nidulans have shown potentials to remove organo-chlorine and organo-phosphorus insecticides (Vijayakumar, 2012).…”

“…An artificially designed biofilm consortium of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria and cyanobacteria on gravel particles and glass plates has been developed that can be used for cleaning up crude-oil contamination of sea water samples (Al-Awadhi et al, 2003). The consortium of Anabaena oryzae and Chlorella kessleri can be used to biodegrade crude oil under mixotrophic condition (Hamouda et al, 2016). Cyanobacteria are also capable of removing heavy metals from water bodies and can reduce the excess of nitrate and phosphate from agricultural fields (Kesaano and Sims, 2014;Kumar et al, 2016).…”

Sustainable supply of food and energy without posing any threat to environment is the current demand of our society in view of continuous increase in global human population and depletion of natural resources of energy. Cyanobacteria have recently emerged as potential candidates who can fulfill abovementioned needs due to their ability to efficiently harvest solar energy and convert it into biomass by simple utilization of CO 2 , water and nutrients. During conversion of radiant energy into chemical energy, these biological systems produce oxygen as a by-product. Cyanobacterial biomass can be used for the production of food, energy, biofertilizers, secondary metabolites of nutritional, cosmetics, and medicinal importance. Therefore, cyanobacterial farming is proposed as environment friendly sustainable agricultural practice which can produce biomass of very high value. Additionally, cyanobacterial farming helps in decreasing the level of greenhouse gas, i.e., CO 2 , and it can be also used for removing various contaminants from wastewater and soil. However, utilization of cyanobacteria for resolving the abovementioned problems is subjected to economic viability. In this review, we provide details on different aspects of cyanobacterial system that can help in developing sustainable agricultural practices. We also describe different large-scale cultivation systems for cyanobacterial farming and discuss their merits and demerits in terms of economic profitability.

“…For instance, some fresh algae: Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus platydiscus, S. quadricauda and S. capricornutum are capable of degrading some toxic compounds like, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Wang and Zhao, 2007). Microalgae called mixotrophic, have the ability to use organic carbon and light concurrently as a sources of energy (Hamouda et al, 2016), and they are capable of absorbing as well as metabolizing organic compounds containing synthetic pesticides (Priyadarshani et al, 2011). That give microalgae an essential competitive advantage over fungi and bacteria to degrade organic pollutants (Chekroun et al, 2014).…”

Accelerated biodegradation of the residual oxamyl (a systematic nematicide widely used for the control of soil pathogenic-nematodes), utilized at the recommended dose in soil cultured by banana plants and artificially infested with root-knot nematode (RKN, Meloidogyne incognita), was observed using algal bioassay studies. Algae such as Chlorella vulgaris, Scenedesmus obliquus, Anabaena oryza and Nostoc muscorum were used to determine the degradability enhancement of oxamyl by an accelerated biodegradation process. All oxamyldegrading species were highly effective to enhance biodegradation of oxamyl compound. Moreover, algal species were effective for controlling RKN, M. incognita because of their enhanced defensive power gained from the oxamyl compound supplemented to the soil. Also, this was improved by the force of the integrated algal suspension to inhibit parasitic nematode. The incorporated application of alga, S. obliquus was the most successful one for oxamyl degradation in plants (75%) and soil (100%) by using HPLC analysis, and had an active promoting effect on banana health. Unlike, the alga, C. vulgaris was the most successful action in diminishing the nematode juveniles (J2s) count in soil (57.55%) and galls count on roots (52.87%).
