  • Unveiling the bioenergy potential of oleaginous Monoraphidium contortum: Biomass and lipid hyperaccumulation and its valorization for biodiesel production under sequential nitrogen cultivation
    Rahul Prasad Singh, Ajay Kumar, Amit Kaushik, Mahaswetta Saikia, Sheetal Yadav, Rajib Roychowdhury, Rajan Kumar Gupta, Laurent Dufossé
    Energy Conversion and Management X, 2026
    • In stage I, nitrate boosted CO 2 fixation, pigments, photosynthesis, and biomass. • N 2 deprivation increased carbohydrates, lipids, and antioxidants in stage I. • In stage II, 4dN − maximized lipid (52.6%), neutral lipid (46.6%), and hydrocarbons. • CHNS showed higher HHV, CV, and TMP in 4dN − cultures. • FAME profiling showed dominant C16–C18 SFAs (32.65%), suiting biodiesel. Despite the promise of microalgal bioenergy, the trade-off between biomass production, lipid accumulation, and biodiesel yield under nutrient stress remains a key limitation. This study used M. contortum to assess the effects of nitrate supplementation on biomass yield (stage I) and of nitrate deprivation on lipid biosynthesis (stage II) using growth kinetics and metabolite profiling to harness bioenergy potential. During stage I, nitrate supplementation at 0.25 g L −1 enhanced growth, CO 2 fixation, biomass, pigments, photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm, Y(II), α, Ik, and ETRmax), and protein content, whereas nitrate deprivation (0 g L −1 ) increased carbohydrate (3.6-fold) and lipid content (4.3-fold), along with elevated carotenoids, Y(NO), MDA, and antioxidant activities (CAT, APX, TFC, and TPC). In stage II, the 4-day nitrogen-deprived culture (4dN − ) achieved the highest lipid content (52.6%) and neutral lipid fraction (46.6%), along with the lowest glycolipid (9.5%) and phospholipid (7.1%) contents. Elevated lipid content was supported by FTIR peaks at 2920, 2852, and 1739 cm −1 , indicating metabolic reprogramming of M. contortum toward TAG accumulation and hydrocarbon synthesis. Additionally, CHNS analysis showed higher carbon and hydrogen, with lower nitrogen, sulfur, and oxygen, resulting in increased C/N and H/C ratios, HHV, CV, TMP, COD, and TEF in 4dN − cultures, indicating enhanced bioenergy potential. P-XRD analysis revealed an enhancement in the amorphous characteristics of the biomass. Furthermore, GC–MS analysis showed that SFAs (32.65%), mainly C16–C18, were predominant over MUFAs (18.08%) and PUFAs (23.11%) in 4dN − cultures. The resulting biodiesel met the EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards, highlighting M. contortum potential to achieve SDG 7.
  • Salt-regulated triacylglycerol accumulation and biodiesel quality of Scenedesmus sp. BHU1 under two-stage cultivation
    Rahul Prasad Singh, Priya Yadav, Ajay Kumar, Amit Kaushik, Aditi Arya, Mahaswetta Saikia, Rajan Kumar Gupta, Laurent Dufossé
    Energy Nexus, 2026
    • Stage I control cells showed higher CO₂ fixation rate. • FTIR-SDS showed dominating lipid group and TGA confirmed stable thermal traits. • Stage II showed higher calorific value, theoretical methane potential, and fuel efficiency. • GC-MS revealed dominant C16–C18 saturated fatty acids. • Biodiesel met EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards. Microalgae efficiently sequester carbon and accumulate neutral lipids; however, challenges persist in achieving high triacylglycerol (TAG) and biofuel yields. This study presents a novel two-stage salt stress strategy that enhances neutral lipid accumulation, jet fuel production, and biodiesel quality in Scenedesmus sp. To address this, Scenedesmus sp. was cultivated under varying NaCl concentrations (0–0.4 M) and time intervals (0–12 days) using a two-stage process. In stage I, control cells (0 M NaCl) showed a higher CO₂ fixation rate (122.06 mg L⁻¹ d⁻¹), while 0.4 M NaCl-treated cells recorded the highest neutral lipid content (77.01%). In stage II under 0.4 M NaCl at 8 days, 1.48 kg biomass yielded 1 kg microalgal oil, and 2.59 kg biomass produced 1 kg jet fuel. Further, second derivative spectra from FTIR spectroscopy revealed shifts in functional groups favoring neutral lipid synthesis (peaks at 2923 cm⁻¹ and 1746 cm⁻¹), while thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed decomposition of lipids and carbohydrates during pyrolysis. Additionally, CHNS analysis revealed maximum higher heating value (25.64 MJ/kg), and lower heating values (24.71 MJ/kg) in 8 th -day biomass. GC-MS analysis revealed a predominance of saturated fatty acids (SFAs; 66.67%), particularly C16–C18, over monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs; 18%) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; 16%). Notably, biodiesel produced from 8 th day biomass met both the EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards, demonstrating the potential of Scenedesmus sp. for biodiesel feedstock. Notably, biodiesel produced from the 8 th -day biomass met both the EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 standards. Thus, current study highlights the potential of salt supplementation in Scenedesmus sp. BHU1 to enhance triacylglycerol, supporting its use as a biodiesel feedstock.

    Rahul Prasad Singh, Prince Kumar Singh, Indrajeet Kumar, Manish Kumar, Vivek Kumar Gaur, Amit Kaushik, Aditi Arya, Mahaswetta Saikia, Sergio de los Santos-Villalobos, Ajay Kumar, Laurent Dufossé
    Energy Strategy Reviews, 2026
    Microalgal bioenergy shows great potential for meeting global energy needs but faces economic limits due to low biofuel precursor yields. Optimizing microalgal biomass and lipid accumulation is vital for sustainable bioenergy production; however, the trade-off between growth and lipid synthesis remains a major challenge. Therefore, this review examines the integration of genetic engineering and artificial intelligence (AI) strategies to address these challenges within a circular bioeconomy framework aimed at maximizing the bioenergy potential of microalgae. Key advancements in genetic transformation approaches targeting lipid biosynthetic pathways and associated enzymes [acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), malonyl-CoA ACP transacylase (MAT), acyl-ACP thioesterase (TE), glycerol phosphate acyltransferase (GPAT), lysophosphatidic acid acyltransferase (LPAAT), and diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)] are discussed in detail to enhance lipid productivity. Furthermore, strategies to remove stumbling blocks such as suppressing carbohydrate biosynthesis, inhibiting lipid degradation, and modulating acetyl-CoA pathways along with photosynthetic engineering (reduction of antenna size and manipulation of Calvin cycle) approaches were explored to more effectively channel carbon flux toward lipid biosynthesis. The review also examines lipid engineering approaches aimed at modifying fatty acid composition and enhancing lipid secretion, along with the manipulation of lipogenic transcription factors (Dof-type, bZIP, NRR, and MYB) to facilitate transcriptomic reprogramming. Additionally, AI algorithms have been introduced for their potential to optimize biorefinery systems by enhancing microalgal species selection, biomass harvesting, and the optimization of cultivation and biorefinery conversion processes, while simultaneously minimizing operational costs, risks, and environmental impacts. Thus, this review highlights the potential of genetic engineering and AI in microalgae to enhance bioenergy precursors, thereby advancing sustainable biofuel production within a circular bioeconomy framework for future development.
  • The microbial strategies for the management of chemical pesticides: A comprehensive review
    Ajay Kumar, Manoj Kumar Solanki, Manish Kumar, Amit Kaushik, Aditi Arya, Mahaswetta Saikia, Vivek Kumar Gaur, Rahul Prashad Singh, Sandeep Kumar Singh, Vipin Kumar Singh, Laurent Dufossé
    Current Research in Microbial Sciences, 2026
    Chemical pesticides considered as one of the emerging environmental contaminants that severally affect the human health and soil and water ecosystem. Despite their well-documented adverse effects on fruit quality, soil structure, the emergence of pesticide-resistant pests, and human well-being, chemical pesticides are still widely used for crop protection, particularly in developing countries. Although to manage the chemical pesticides, various traditional approaches have been employed, however the higher cost, and the generation of toxic residues have shifted research attention toward eco-friendly and sustainable bioremediation strategies. Microorganisms including the bacteria, fungi, and algae play a crucial role in pesticide degradation by transforming toxic compounds into less toxic forms. However, to optimize microbial bioremediation, a comprehensive understanding of microbial metabolism and physiology is essential. In this context, omics technologies such as genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, offer powerful tools for elucidating the molecular mechanisms involved in pesticide degradation. These approaches facilitate the identification of microorganism, key genes, enzymes, and metabolic pathways responsible for the breakdown of pesticide compounds and their by-products. Furthermore, advanced technology like the gene editing can enhance the efficacy of pesticides biodegradation by knocking out undesirable genes or introducing beneficial ones in the microorganisms. The Artificial intelligence also plays a significant role in analysing big data, understanding microbial communities' structure, identifying nature of pesticides and selecting or predicting the microbial species with enhanced pesticides degrading efficacy.

    Archaeological and paleogenomic evidence from the Tibetan Plateau and high-altitude Central Himalayas suggest biocultural connections with each other and with lowland East, Central, and South Asia. However, genetic histories at the northern frontier of the Indian Himalayas, which is geographically more proximal to Central and lowland South Asia, remain underexplored. We analyzed genome-wide data from 7 ancient (~2300 to 100 years old) and 10 present-day individuals from the northern Indian Himalayas and one ~3370-year-old individual from the Central Himalayas in Nepal. Ancient and present-day individuals from the northern Himalayas predominantly have Tibetan-related genetic ancestry, likely the source of high-altitude adaptive variants in these individuals, with substantial Steppe-related genetic ancestry that is observed in all individuals dating between ~1300 years and present day. In addition, some present-day individuals have lowland South Asian admixture. Our analyses reveal a dynamic interplay between genetic admixture and continuity in the northern Himalayas.

    Chaoqun Zhang, Rahul Prasad Singh, Priya Yadav, Indrajeet Kumar, Amit Kaushik, Rajib Roychowdhury, Mustansar Mubeen, Sandeep Kumar Singh, Ajay Kumar, Jie Wang
    Fuel Processing Technology, 2025
    Microalgal biofuels have emerged as a promising avenue for meeting the growing demands for clean and efficient energy. However, the integration of microalgae into the biofuel industry is still in the early stages, primarily due to low productivity and high production costs. To address these challenges, researchers are actively exploring innovative methods to enhance biomass, concurrently increasing lipid and carbohydrate content. This review paper discusses the unique attributes of microalgae that make them attractive candidates for biofuel production. Advancements in cultivation techniques, such as photobioreactor design, co-cultivation strategies (microalgae-microalgae, microalgae-bacteria, and microalgae-fungi), and the optimization of nutrient conditions (carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) as well as environmental factors (salinity, light, and temperature) were explored to enhance biomass and lipid productivity. Furthermore, genetic engineering tools (genetic elements, gene interference, genome editing, and genome reconstruction) and omics technologies (genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics) were discussed to gain a deeper understanding of microalgal lipid synthesis metabolism. The application of these techniques in microalgae facilitates enhanced lipid productivity, improved stress tolerance, optimized carbon sequestration and utilization, and reduced harvesting and processing costs. The study also delves into the decision-making process related to software selection, with the overarching goal of improving performance, profitability, and sustainability while mitigating risks, operational costs, and environmental impacts. Additionally, this review highlights future perspectives on large-scale microalgal biofuel production and its industry.

    Bacteria, 2025
    In the recent past, microbiome manipulation has emerged as a promising approach to improve plant growth performance by exploring the deep insight of plant–microbe interactions. The exploration of a plant microbiome either present on an ectosphere or endosphere can provide a far better understanding about the potential application of plant-associated microbes for the improvement of plant growth, protection from pathogen invasion, and tolerance to environmental stresses of a diverse nature. In this context, next-generation sequencing methods, omics approaches, and synthetic biology have made significant progress in plant microbiome research and are being frequently used to explore the intriguing role of plant-associated microorganisms. Despite the successfulness of conventional approaches, the incorporation of CRISPR/Cas9, RNA interference technology, rhizosphere engineering, microbiome engineering, and other manipulation techniques appear to be a promising approach to enhancing plant performance, and tolerance against biotic and abiotic stress factors. The present review presents the significance of plant microbe interaction, vital functional aspects, collaborative action, potential constraints, and finally the latest developments in bioengineering approaches destined for microbiome modulation with an objective to improve the performance of a host plant challenged with environmental stressors.

    Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, 2025
    Heavy metals (HMs) pose a significant risk to human health. In the past century, due to the rise in industrial activities, numerous water resources have become polluted by HMs. Meanwhile, there has been a significant increase in the number of studies focusing on the removal of toxic substances from aqueous environments. Despite increased interest in this field, there is a lack of comprehensive studies that provide in-depth knowledge and quantitative studies of HMs adsorption from wastewater. This work used a systematic bibliometric analysis to investigate the existing gap in knowledge on the worldwide application research of HMs in wastewater treatment. The analysis was performed using VOSviewer, CiteSpace, and Bibliometric, specifically focusing on the core collection database of Web of Science. A review was conducted on the literature, focusing on publishing patterns, academic fields, journals, nations, institutions, and authors. In addition, a thorough examination of keywords was performed to analyze their co-occurrence, clustering, and bursting trends. Most of the papers fall within the Environment Science category. Desalination And Water Treatment has the most publications (429), but the Journal of Hazardous Material has the greatest average citation number (118.59), indicating its importance as a platform for significant research. China is the top country in publishing 2263 articles, (41.80 %), in collaborations with other nations. Finally, the use of a keyword co-occurrence network atlas and literature co-citation network atlas provided valuable insights into the future direction of research in this field. These tools were employed to analyze research hotspots, research frontiers, and development trends.
