    The use of unregulated pesticides and chemical fertilizers can have detrimental effects on biodiversity and human health. This problem is exacerbated by the growing demand for agricultural products. To address these global challenges and promote food and biological security, a new form of agriculture is needed that aligns with the principles of sustainable development and the circular economy. This entails developing the biotechnology market and maximizing the use of renewable and eco-friendly resources, including organic fertilizers and biofertilizers. Phototrophic microorganisms capable of oxygenic photosynthesis and assimilation of molecular nitrogen play a crucial role in soil microbiota, interacting with diverse microflora. This suggests the potential for creating artificial consortia based on them. Microbial consortia offer advantages over individual organisms as they can perform complex functions and adapt to variable conditions, making them a frontier in synthetic biology. Multifunctional consortia overcome the limitations of monocultures and produce biological products with a wide range of enzymatic activities. Biofertilizers based on such consortia present a viable alternative to chemical fertilizers, addressing the issues associated with their usage. The described capabilities of phototrophic and heterotrophic microbial consortia enable effective and environmentally safe restoration and preservation of soil properties, fertility of disturbed lands, and promotion of plant growth. Hence, the utilization of algo-cyanobacterial consortia biomass can serve as a sustainable and practical substitute for chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and growth promoters. Furthermore, employing these bio-based organisms is a significant stride towards enhancing agricultural productivity, which is an essential requirement to meet the escalating food demands of the growing global population. Utilizing domestic and livestock wastewater, as well as CO2 flue gases, for cultivating this consortium not only helps reduce agricultural waste but also enables the creation of a novel bioproduct within a closed production cycle.

    Enhancing crop photosynthesis through genetic engineering technologies offers numerous opportunities to increase plant productivity. Key approaches include optimizing light utilization, increasing cytochrome b6f complex levels, and improving carbon fixation. Modifications to Rubisco and the photosynthetic electron transport chain are central to these strategies. Introducing alternative photorespiratory pathways and enhancing carbonic anhydrase activity can further increase the internal CO2 concentration, thereby improving photosynthetic efficiency. The efficient translocation of photosynthetically produced sugars, which are managed by sucrose transporters, is also critical for plant growth. Additionally, incorporating genes from C4 plants, such as phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and NADP-malic enzymes, enhances the CO2 concentration around Rubisco, reducing photorespiration. Targeting microRNAs and transcription factors is vital for increasing photosynthesis and plant productivity, especially under stress conditions. This review highlights potential biological targets, the genetic modifications of which are aimed at improving photosynthesis and increasing plant productivity, thereby determining key areas for future research and development.

    Photosynthetic microbial fuel cells: practical applications of electron transfer chains
    (ND Zelinsky Inst Organic Chemistry, RAS - ZIOC RAS, 2023) Voloshin, Roman A.; Bozieva, Ayshat M.; Bruce, Barry D.; Allakhverdiev, Suleyman I.; Russian Academy of Sciences; Timiryazev Institute of Plant Physiology; University of Tennessee System; University of Tennessee Knoxville; Bahcesehir University
    Membrane electron transfer underlies the central metabolic pathways for energy conversion. The photosynthetic and respiratory electron transport chains are complex apparatuses capable of generating a transmembrane proton gradient from sunlight or chemical energy. Recent exploitation of these apparatuses as energy convertors is of interest due to the availability and eco-friendliness of the biomaterial. Devices that utilize chemotrophic microorganisms to generate electricity have been known for over one hundred years. In these systems, called microbial fuel cells (MFC), one or more microorganisms catalyze charge transfer from a consumable substrate (acetate, glucose, etc.) to the electrode. Recently, MFCs based on phototrophic organisms have been actively developed. These devices, called photosynthetic microbial fuel cells (PMFC), still resemble the conventional MFC in that they also use living microbial cells to convert chemicals to electrical energy. However, the distinction between these two classes of fuel cells is that theMFCutilizes only the chemical energy of the organic substrate. At the same time, PMFCs are also capable of using solar energy. Common to both devices is the ability to utilize intrinsic electron transfer chains of bacterial metabolism as the primary mechanism of energy conversion. The widespread and accessible solar energy may permit PMFCs based on photosynthesis to become an inexpensive and efficient method for sunlight conversion. MFCs based on heterotrophs may be more promising in wastewater remediation and other ecological applications. This article reviews the latest advances in this field and emphasizes the remaining challenges. The bibliography includes 205 references.
