“…Sustainable development is a common worldwide theme [226][227][228][229]. Biotechnology has an important place in the future, especially for the bioleaching of metal from secondary lower-grade ores [230][231][232][233].…”

The commercial application of copper bioleaching, an environmentally-friendly approach for low-grade and secondary mineral resources recycling, has increased worldwide since the 2000s. As the world's second-largest economic entity and the largest developing country, China has the largest demand for metal resources, significantly advancing the theory and industrial technology of copper bioleaching. This paper reviews the exploration and application of copper bioleaching in China. Two typical bioleaching applications and technological processes, bioheap leaching at the Zijinshan Copper Mine and bioheap leaching at the Dexing Copper Mine, are introduced. The considerable research completed by researchers is summarized, especially focusing on the isolation and identification of leaching bacteria, the bioleaching mechanism and interface reactions, multistage percolation behavior, bioleaching system reconstruction, the multiphysics coupled model, and enhanced copper bioleaching from waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs). Based on this investigation in China, key trends and prospects in copper bioleaching-such as efficiency improvement, environmental protection, and improved technology applications-are proposed.

“…For pathogenic bacteria, the phenomenon has been deeply investigated and has become more popular, due to studies revealing the nature of latent infectious diseases in humans (Oliver 2010;Li et al 2014a;Ramamurthy et al 2014), focusing on the importance of food safety (Serpaggi et al 2012;Fakruddin et al 2013;Ayrapetyan and Oliver 2016;Shi et al 2017;Zhao et al 2017b) and seeking to develop new pharmacological products (Demain and Sanchez 2009). In spite of the abundance of information regarding VBNC pathogens, little is known about VBNC bacteria in polluted environments and their role in biological remediation techniques (Su et al 2013a;Tripathi et al 2017;Su et al 2018c;Murugan and Vasudevan 2018). Given that most of the bacteria naturally occur in a VBNC state in the environment, these yet-to-becultured species are considered to be a vast unexplored pool of microbial resources (e.g.…”

Environmental biotechnology offers several promising techniques for the rehabilitation of polluted environments. The modern industrialized world presents novel challenges to the environmental sciences, requiring a constant development and deepening of knowledge to enable the characterization of novel pollutants and a better understanding of the bioremediation strategies as well as their limiting factors. The success of bioremediation depends heavily on the survival and activities of indigenous microbial communities and their interaction with introduced microorganisms. The majority of natural microbiomes remain uncultivated; therefore, further investigations focusing on their intrinsic functions in ecosystems are needed. In this review, we aimed to provide (a) a comprehensive overview of the presence of viable but nonculturable bacteria and yet-to-becultivated cells in nature and their diverse awakening strategies in response to, among other factors, signalling extracellular metabolites (autoinducers, resuscitation promoting factors, and siderophores); (b) an outline of the trends in isolating unculturable bacteria; and (c) the potential applications of these hidden players in rehabilitation processes. Keywords Uncultured bacteria Á Viable but nonculturable bacteria Á Bacterial resuscitation Á Environmental application of VBNC bacteria Á Exploitation of microbial metabolic potential

“…Resource efficiency is a common thread that connects CE, sustainable development (SD), and LR especially since burgeoning population has led to global resource stress and widening disparities (Tripathi et al ). Land use forms one of the nine planetary boundaries (Rockström et al ; Steffen et al ) underlining the importance of productive land ecosystems in regulating biophysical systems functioning.…”

Soil and land are critical common pool resources offering a multitude of ecosystem services (ES) and presently affected by degradation and unplanned exploitation. The present article therefore attempts to elucidate the importance of circular economy in boosting land restoration and realization of several sustainable development goals through efficient waste recycling and clean energy production from degraded lands combined with policy restructuring for aligning circularity with restoration. Integrative policy frameworks targeting a “sustainable restoration economy” can help improve the cost feasibility of restoration projects through circularization of resource value chains besides enhancing social welfare and ecological vitality.
