“…Genetic engineering tools have been applied in the genome engineering of plants, animals, and microorganisms for the expression of specific genes (94)(95)(96)(97)(98). Furthermore, using recombinant DNA technology, any organism can be transformed into the desired form (99,100). Subsequently, with the addition of the relevant gene to the genome of another organism's vector (such as phage, plasmid, or virus), the production of the desired gene can be achieved in a different host (78).…”

Climate change has imposed a significant struggle for survival most of the Earth’s species, highlighting the urgent need for a healthy and secure environment. Recent scientific investigations have primarily concentrated on the development and use of microorganisms as powerful biotechnological tools to address the escalating pollution that poses a severe threat to life. But this microorganisims long-term effects on biodiversity and ecosystems remain a subject of inquiry. In this comprehensive review, we aim to thoroughly evaluate the effects of microorganisms on the general ecosystem and critically assess the use of existing biotechnological tools developed to combat climate-related challenges. By shedding light on the potential implications, this review strives to contribute to a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between microorganisms, ecosystems, and climate change mitigation.

“…Pollution, especially with heavy metals, affects the life of the planet either directly or indirectly. The toxic pollutants are generating during different stages in industrial processes (Landa-Acuña et al 2020) and mining (Beltrán-Pineda and Gómez-Rodríguez, 2016). These pollutants tend to accumulate or transport into the environment, providing an alarm issues of toxic products (Rai and Tripathi 2007).…”

Two different extremophilic films were used as natural biosorbents to remove Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) from aqueous solution. Surface area, scanning electron microscope imaging and Fourier transformation infrared were used to characterize the surface of biosorbents. The results indicated high affinity of biosorbents to remove Pb(II) Cu(II) and Ni(II) with adsorption ratio ranged between 73.6% to 100% for both two biosorbent. The two biosorbents success to remove the metal ions from the aqueous mixture in the order of Pb(II) > Cu(II) > Ni(II). The maximum removal ratios of metal ions were achieved at pH = 6, 150 min contact time, 2.5 g/L biosorbent dose and 50 mg/L metal ions. The isothermal studies showed that both Langmuir and Freundlich models well expressed the adsorption process. Kinetically, the pseudo-second order reaction well express the type of reaction than pseud-first order reaction.
