Advancements and Challenges in Second‐ and Third‐Generation Biofuels: A Comparative Analysis of Lignocellulosic and Algal Feedstocks

Safety Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advanced biofuels derived from nonfood biomass are increasingly recognized as strategic components of low‐carbon energy systems, particularly for sectors where direct electrification remains difficult. Second‐generation biofuels from lignocellulosic residues and third‐generation biofuels from algal and aquatic biomass offer complementary ...

Media‐Dependent Growth, Stress Responses, and Metal Accumulation Patterns in Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai Exposed to As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn: Individual and Combination Effects (Synergistic, Antagonistic, and Additive)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this study, we examined metal accumulation and biochemical responses of Azolla imbricata (Roxb.) Nakai exposed to water medium (WM) and nutrient medium (NM) under single and combined (co‐exposure) treatments with five metals (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) at 10% environmentally relevant concentrations.

Strawberry micropropagation simplifies endomicrobiome and highlights potential for in vitro biotization with beneficial rhizobacteria

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Prolonged in vitro micropropagation reshaped the strawberry endomicrobiome, reducing bacterial diversity and community complexity. Biotization with selected plant growth‐promoting bacteria partially compensated for these changes by improving plant performance and acclimatization, supporting microbiome‐assisted approaches for tissue culture systems ...

Unlocking lentil yield potential: A genotype‐specific approach using phosphate‐solubilizing biofertilizer enhances phosphorus efficiency

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The environmental drawbacks of chemical phosphate fertilizers have heightened interest in biofertilizers as sustainable alternatives. However, their efficacy is frequently genotype‐dependent, a factor often neglected in broad recommendations. This study investigated the interaction between the phosphate‐solubilizing biofertilizer Barvar 2 and ...

Phytostimulation and biofertilization in wheat by cyanobacteria

Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, 2010
Cyanobacteria are commonly used for the phytostimulation and biofertilization of agriculture crops due to their nitrogen-fixing ability. However, the contribution by their phytohormones has been neglected. This study focuses on the screening of rhizospheric and free-living cyanobacteria for in vitro phytohormones production and growth stimulation in ...

Glomus iranicum var. Tenuihypharum as a Biofertilizer Modulates Soil Microbial Community Composition and Enhances Soil Carbon Dynamics in Nectarine Cultivation

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of biofertilization strategies based on arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represents a promising approach to enhance crop productivity and soil health while reducing the environmental footprint of conventional fertilization. This study evaluated the effects of Glomus iranicum var.

Rhizosphere Microbiome Transplantation as a Resource‐Efficient Approach to Enhance Growth and Microbial Functional Diversity in Urban Plants

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 14, Page 10405-10416, 30 August 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban soils are increasingly affected by degradation, compaction, pollution, and water limitation, which can constrain plant performance and the functioning of urban green spaces. Rhizosphere microbiome transplantation (RMT), which transfers entire microbial communities from donor plants to target species, has emerged as a potential ...
