Microbial applications in agriculture and industry have gained significant attention due to their potential to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development. Among these, the genus Pseudomonas stands out as a promising candidate for various biotechnological uses, thanks to its metabolic flexibility, resilience, and adaptability to diverse environments. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state and future prospects of microbial fuel production, bioremediation, and sustainable development, focusing on the pivotal role of Pseudomonas species. We emphasize the importance of microbial fuel as a renewable energy source and discuss recent advancements in enhancing biofuel generation using Pseudomonas strains. Additionally, we explore the critical role of Pseudomonas in bioremediation processes, highlighting its ability to degrade a wide spectrum of pollutants, including hydrocarbons, pesticides, and heavy metals, thereby reducing environmental contamination. Despite significant progress, several challenges remain. These include refining microbial strains for optimal process efficiency and addressing ecological considerations. Nonetheless, the diverse capabilities of Pseudomonas offer promising avenues for innovative solutions to pressing environmental issues, supporting the transition to a more sustainable future.

Electronic address:

The extensive use of the antimicrobial compound chlorhexidine (CHD) has emerged as a significant threat to both the ecological environment and human health. To address this concern, a photo-electrochemical cell-microbial fuel cell (PMFC) system was studied for CHD removal by incorporating, for the first time, the photocatalysts black phosphorus/carbon nitride (BPCN) and CuO into the bioanode and air cathode of an MFC, respectively. By combining electrochemical, macro-genomic, and intermediate product analyses, the underlying mechanisms of bioelectronic and photoelectronic synergies were elucidated.

Metabolic alterations, including hypermetabolism, lipid imbalances, and glucose dysregulation, are pivotal contributors to the onset and progression of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These changes exacerbate systemic energy deficits, heighten oxidative stress, and fuel neuroinflammation. Simultaneously, gastrointestinal dysfunction and gut microbiota (GM) dysbiosis intensify disease pathology by driving immune dysregulation, compromising the intestinal barrier, and altering gut-brain axis (GBA) signaling, and lastly advancing neurodegeneration.

Forty percent of terrestrial ecosystems require recurrent fires driven by feedbacks between fire and plant fuels. The accumulation of fine fuels in these ecosystems play a key role in fire intensity, which alters soil nutrients and shapes soil microbial and plant community responses to fire. Changes to post-fire plant fuel production are well known to feed back to future fires, but post-fire decomposition of new fuels is poorly understood.

The management of wastewater and agricultural wastes has been limited by the separate treatment processes, which exacerbate pollution and contribute to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions. Given the energy demands and financial burdens of traditional treatment facilities, there is a pressing need for technologies that can concurrently treat solid waste and generate energy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of producing bioelectricity and biohydrogen through the microbial treatment of blackwater and agricultural waste using a dual-chamber Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC).
