“…This work obtained 3.66 cm in the Tukey mean separation test in group a compared to the inoculated and 2.18 cm in group b in non-inoculated plants. The mycorrhizal treatments obtained higher yields and improved the quality, quantity and health of agricultural products such as vegetables, citrus fruits and grasses according to their water potential and the absorption of microand macroelements from the soil to the plant (Apollon et al, 2022). This is probably because the AMF hyphae increase the area of water absorption by the roots and by an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane in the root due to the increase in the hyphal entry points and for a correlation between soil properties, carbohydrate utilization and yield (Garg, & Cheema, 2021;Matos et al, 2021).…”

Most of the farmers who grow cactus pear (Opuntia albicarpa) use manure as a fertilizer. This practice increases the problems of pests. The use of endomycorrhiza (Glomus intraradices) is almost unknown to farmers. Therefore, the objective of this research was to study the effect of the application with organic matter (OM) and inoculation with endomycorrhiza in cactus pear. The study was conducted under greenhouse conditions at the Montecillo Campus of the Postgraduate College, Mexico. Two types of soil from San Luis Potosí, Mexico were used, one of reddish coloration (xerosol) and another gray (lithosol). The results show that there were significant differences (p ≤ 0.05) in all the variables by the inoculation with endomycorrhiza, and in the majority of those by the application of OM. Both the mycorrhiza and the application of OM, as vermicompost, promoted a greater growth of the stem and the root. The types of soils used did not affect the growth of the plants. The mycorrhiza can be useful to improve mineral nutrition, and thus increase yields in the cactus pear plantations. In addition, these fungi can increase yields, and help reduce production costs. The application of 50 t ha-1 of vermicompost is a better alternative to add nutrients and OM to this crop.

“…Максимально достигнутая плотность мощности с использованием опунции (Opuntia albicarpa Scheinvar) составила 103,6 мВт/м 2 в условиях длительной эксплуатации. Добавление в биобатарею на основе опунции (Opuntia joconostle Weber ex Diguet) нитрата аммония (150 мгʺл 1 ʺнед 1 ) привело к увеличению выхода энергии с 40 до 500 мВт/м 3 (87). Разработанные биобатерии были эффективно применены для электропитания светодиодов и цифровых часов, обеспечивая их автономную работу в течение недели (85).…”

“…BESs are promising technologies that have been implemented to replace energy sources from fossil fuels, such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal [1,2], in response to worldwide high energy demands. BESs can be classified into (i) microbial desalination cells (MDCs) [3][4][5], (ii) microbial electrosynthesis cells (MECs) [6], (iii) enzymatic biofuel cells (EBCs) [7], (iv) electrolysis cells (ECs) [8], (v) microbial solar cells (MSCs) [9], (vi) biobatteries [10,11], (vii) constructed wetland microbial fuel cells (CW-MFCs) [12], and (viii) microbial fuel cells (MFCs). To date, considering the types of BESs, MFCs are the oldest, being the first BES presented in 1911 [13].…”

The over-exploitation of fossil fuels and their negative environmental impacts have attracted the attention of researchers worldwide, and efforts have been made to propose alternatives for the production of sustainable and clean energy. One proposed alternative is the implementation of bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), such as microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which are sustainable and environmentally friendly. MFCs are devices that use bacterial activity to break down organic matter while generating sustainable electricity. Furthermore, MFCs can produce bioelectricity from various substrates, including domestic wastewater (DWW), municipal wastewater (MWW), and potato and fruit wastes, reducing environmental contamination and decreasing energy consumption and treatment costs. This review focuses on recent advancements regarding the design, configuration, and operation mode of MFCs, as well as their capacity to produce bioelectricity (e.g., 2203 mW/m2) and fuels (i.e., H2: 438.7 mg/L and CH4: 358.7 mg/L). Furthermore, this review highlights practical applications, challenges, and the life-cycle assessment (LCA) of MFCs. Despite the promising biotechnological development of MFCs, great efforts should be made to implement them in a real-time and commercially viable manner.
