Multitasking microbes: scientists engineer bacteria to make two valuable products from plant fiber - Technology Org

Multitasking microbes: scientists engineer bacteria to make two valuable products from plant fiber - Technology Org

We often look to the smallest lifeforms for help solving the biggest problems: Microbes help make foods and beverages, cure diseases, treat waste and even clean up pollution. Yeast and bacteria can also convert plant sugars into biofuels and chemicals traditionally derived from fossil fuels — a key component of most plans to slow climate change.

Now University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have engineered bacteria that can produce two chemical products at the same time from underutilized plant fiber. And unlike humans, these multitasking microbes can do both things equally well.

“To my knowledge, it’s one of the first times you can make two valuable products simultaneously in one microbe,” says Tim Donohue, UW–Madison professor of bacteriology and director of the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center.

The discovery, detailed in a paper in the December issue of the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology, could help make biofuels more sustainable and commercially viable.

“In principle, the strategy lowers the net greenhouse gas emissions and improves the economics,” Donohue says. “The amount of energy and greenhouse gas that you need to make two products in one pot is going to be less than running two pots to make one product in each pot.”

Every molecule counts

The quest to replace fossil fuels with sustainable alternatives hinges on extracting the most possible value from renewable biomass. Just as with petrochemicals, every molecule counts: Low-volume, high-value products help keep fuel more affordable.

One of the biggest barriers is a part of the plant cell wall called lignin. Lignin is the world’s most abundant source of renewable aromatic carbons, but its irregular structure makes it notoriously difficult to break apart into useful components.

That’s why scientists with GLBRC have studied a bacterium named Novosphingobium aromaticivorans (sometimes referred to as simply Novo), which can digest many components of lignin and is relatively easy to genetically modify.

In 2019, researchers engineered a strain of Novo that can produce a key ingredient of plastics like nylon and polyurethane known as PDC. More recently, a team in Donohue’s lab discovered another modification that allows Novo to make a different plastic ingredient called ccMA.

But they didn’t stop there.

“We’re not going to solve our carbon emissions problem by only producing two products,” says Ben Hall, a recent doctoral graduate who contributed to the research.

Donohue’s team used genomic modeling to come up with a list of potential products that could be made from biomass aromatics. Near the top of the list was zeaxanthin, one of a group of organic pigments known as carotenoids.

Carotenoids, which give carrots, pumpkins, salmon and even flamingos their distinctive hues, are used as nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics and have a cumulative market value worth tens of billions of dollars a year.

Researchers knew that Novo had the genes to produce another carotenoid with little market value. Based on the bacteria’s genome sequence, they suspected zeaxanthin is a steppingstone to that less valuable carotenoid in the process that cells use to make complex molecules. It was just a matter of altering the right genes to stop the digestive assembly line at the more valuable product.

By deleting or adding selected genes, they engineered strains that produced zeaxanthin as well as other valuable carotenoids — beta-carotene, lycopene and astaxanthin — when grown on an aromatic compound commonly found in lignin.

Next, the team showed that the engineered bacteria could produce the same carotenoids from a liquor made from ground and treated sorghum stems, a solution that contains a mixture of aromatics that many industrial bacteria can’t digest.

One pot, two products

Hall then wondered what would happen if he combined the genetic changes needed to make PDC and a carotenoid in the same microbe.

The resulting strains produced both PDC and the target carotenoid — with no discernable loss to either yield. Even better, the bacteria accumulated carotenoids within their cells, which must be separated from the solution that contains the PDC, which they secreted.

“We’re already separating the cells from the media,” Hall says. “Now we would have a product coming out of both.”

The next steps include testing whether engineered strains can simultaneously produce carotenoids and ccMA, which Donohue thinks they will, and to engineer strains to improve yields in industrial conditions.

While there are lucrative markets for each of these products, Donohue and Hall say the real value of the discovery is the ability to add multiple functions to this biological platform.

“To me, it’s both the strategy and the products,” Donohue says. “Now that we’ve done this, I think it opens the door to see if we can create other microbial chassis that make two products.”

Thus, demand for microalgal species, such as spirulina and chlorella, increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as the focus on the nutritional content increased. Despite the increase in demand, there were hindrances in the supply chain due to the lockdown imposed by governments in many countries. This supply chain got back on track post-lockdown.

The global algae market is segmented on the basis of type (macroalgae {red algae, brown algae, and green algae}, microalgae {spirulina, chlorella, Dunaliella salina, Haematococcus pluvialis, and other microalgae}), distribution channel (business-to-business [B2B], business-to-consumer [B2C]), form (dry form {algae powder, algae flakes, and other dried forms}, liquid form), and application (food & beverages, nutraceuticals, animal feed, cosmetics, and Others). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the algae market is mainly segmented into macroalgae and microalgae. In 2023, the macroalgae segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market mainly due to the rising consumer adoption of plant-based products, growing consumption of seaweed-based products, sources of high nutrients & minerals, and rising government initiatives to encourage seaweed cultivation in several countries across the globe. Also, the growing focus on macroalgae biomass to manufacture biofuels is further expected to create opportunities for stakeholders operating in the macroalgae market globally. However, the microalgae segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on distribution channel, the algae market is mainly segmented into Business-to-Business (B2B) channels and Business-to-Consumer (B2C). The B2B distribution channel segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market in 2023. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to the growing demand for algae-derived products and direct bulk purchasing of algae by manufacturers from various industries, such as nutraceuticals, food & beverage, and animal feed, for further product development.

Based on form, the algae market is segmented into dry and liquid forms. The dry form segment is expected to account for the larger share of the algae market in 2023, mainly due to the rising demand for algae powder from the food and cosmetics industries. In addition, its several benefits, such as comparatively high shelf-life and ease of transport and storage, are further expected to support the growth of this market. This segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period 2023–2030.

Okay, so, as per the USDA, alley cropping is "defined as the planting of rows of trees and/or shrubs to create alleys within which agricultural or horticultural crops are produced. The trees may include valuable hardwood veneer or lumber species; fruit, nut or other specialty crop trees/shrubs; or desirable softwood species for wood fiber production."

Basically, you create rows of woody plants with broad strips of open space to plant herbaceous plants between. A relevant example here would be coppiced willow (cut regularly to keep it short and producing young, thin shoots) alternating with, say, sorghum for human and animal feed, native meadow plantings to harbor insects for both ecological reasons and benefit to the plantings, and perennial dye plants or culinary herbs or crops grown for seed production.

This has various advantages--it raises whole-farm productivity, diversifies crops and spreads them out to make it harder for disease or insects to travel and infest/infect all of a plant type, hedges your bets against a bad year in any given crop, protects the soil from compaction and tillage, others I'm not thinking about right now. Some alleys could also be cycled through annual forage plants and used as seasonal pasture, or cover-cropped to increase fertility.

Willow is up there with bamboo in amazing plants with huge potential for sustainable practical uses. Currently the biggest market is probably to hobbyist basket weavers, but it grows fast and has a ton of uses both on-farm and as a product.

On-farm uses include animal fodder, rooting hormone for starting other plants from cuttings (willow water is the traditional tool for this in Europe, at least), "chop and drop" ground cover/mulch/biomass, living fences and living structures, material for wattle fences and garden trellises. And medicine I guess although on the whole a pain pill is easier. As animal fodder, it's a good hedge against dry years, because the roots can reach ground water not available to grasses and continue to grow in dry spells when the pasture might be failing you. Our sheep, at least, appreciate some nice browse and get pretty enthusiastic about tree prunings.

Commercially, the living cuttings sell well to other people who want fast-growing, cheap trees that do well in wet areas and as riparian buffer plants. The obvious market, again, is basketry. Apparently, most basketry willow is currently imported and there are few growers in the US. Specialty willows are also used in decorative arrangements (think a cluster of twigs with dried pussywillow catkins, or spiral willow branches). Grown longer, the trees can be cut at a thickness that makes them suitable for building furniture. I doubt this is a market I'd be breaking into or whatever, but apparently most art charcoal is made from willow. Neat!

Other trees are suited to alley cropping, of course. You can also coppice black locust, and if harvested at the right thickness, it produces some of the best tool handles and fence posts you could dream of, as well as good fire wood. Obviously that'd be a longer harvest cycle than the yearly cycle of willow.

So yeah! I gotta go do dishes and plant bulbs.

Having fun daydreaming and researching growing willow as a cash crop and on-site utility. Not for the first time, mind. I've always envisioned the south field--the one I look across when I sit up in bed--alley cropped with mixed shrub rows and crop rows. Like...lemme get a visual for you real quick...

Use of Salt-Tolerant Plants and Halophytes as Potential Crops in Saline Soils in China

Authored by Faisal M El Hag

Introduction

As one of the major abiotic stresses, salinity severely inhibits plant growth and development, leads to crop yield loss and plant ecosystem deterioration worldwide [1,2]. Sodium chloride is considered to be the most component that causing salinization and is the widespread salt that existing in saline soils [3]. UP to now, almost 10% of the land area and 50% of the irrigated soils area was affected by salinity presence [1,4]. In addition, the degree of soil salinization is still intensified due to natural and human factors such as irrational irrigation. Simultaneously, the agricultural land has declined due to the industrialization, the urban development, and the habitat need with the rapid increase of population [5]. Therefore, developing strategies to make use of saline land will be crucial for addressing the problem of insufficient farmland and meeting the challenge of providing food security for the projected global population of 9.3 billion people by 2050. It is considered as a desirable and sustainable strategy to plant the salt-tolerant crop varieties and halophytes for the agricultural usage of saline soils.

In general, the growth and the reproduction of crops were severely inhibited when they grow in saline environments [6], even died in heavily saline soils. 99.13 million hectares of saline-alkali land are present in China, accounting for about 12% of the world’s saline-alkali land, and more than 20 million hectares of land are considered to be saline, among which 20% are distributed in cultivated lands [7]. Many works have been done in getting a better and more efficient way to use of the salinized land by biological methods in China. In the present paper, applied and potential plants that could grow on saline land and with economic and application value will be discussed, which will provide an insight understanding and application reference for improving and using the saline soils for agriculture.

Discussion

There are about 420 halophyte species and more than 1000 salt-tolerant plants in China. In the current, a wide range of applications could be implemented according to the salt-tolerant plants and halophytes. Up to now, more than 100 species of the salt-tolerant plants and halophytes have been applied for improving saline lands in China. They could be used as food, such as the salt-tolerant wheat (Dekang 961, Shanrong 3), quiona, and sorghum; vegetables, such as Suaeda salsa, Salicornia bigelovii, and Ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystalinum L.); forage, such as Atriplex triangularis, sweet sorghum, and wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. et Zucc.); fruits, such as winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba cv. Dongzao), and Nitraria tangutorum; medicine, such as Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch, Apocynum venetum, and flower plant such as Limonium sinense. And bioenergy is considered as a renewable new energy.

With the rapid economy expansion, the demand for energy is sustaining insatiable. Bioenergy such as ethanol is selected as a new alternative energy source to meet the global requirement. In addition, to avoid the completion of food and farmland for people in China, the bioenergy is allowed to produce only in marginal soils such as saline soils by culturing the energy crops with higher salt-tolerant ability such as sweet sorghum, hybrid pennisetum, Manihot esculenta, and sugar beet [8,9,10]. Sweet sorghum with high salt tolerance, photosynthesis, high biomass and sugar content in the stem is widely planted in saline soil to be a suitable crop to produce the food, the animal feed, good liquor-making raw materials and bioethanol [11,12].

Halophytes could grow under extreme salt conditions with highly salt-tolerant ability, evenly at sea salt level [13]. As the precious plant resources with high applicable value, halophytes have been obtained more and more attentions by scientists [14]. For instance, to remediate the saline soils by culturing halophytes, preventing salt back to the soil surface, and removing salt from the soils that reducing salt content [5]. In addition, halophytes also have many economic values, for example, some of them could be used as vegetables, fodder and fruit [15,16]. Even some of the halophytic vegetables such as Suaeda salsa could be irrigated using seawater or grown in the intertidal zone [17]. It could be providing gourmet vegetables using seawater and meet the shortage of freshwater resources in the world [18]. Furthermore, halophytes have other usage, Suaeda salsa could be used to produce oil due to the abounded content of unsaturated fatty acid in their seeds [19,20]. Halophytes could provide abounded salt-tolerant genes for studying the salt tolerance mechanism and obtain the genetically modified salt-tolerant crops. Perhaps, the problem of “less land for more population” in the developing countries could be solved by planting salt-tolerant plants and halophyte on the saline soils and provide economic benefit and could meet the problem of the restricted agricultural land resources [21,22].

Conclusion

With the increasing of the saline areas and the degrading of the arable soils in the world, we face the problem of how to balance the reducing of farmland and the increasing of the requirement of food and energy. The growth, development and reproduction of all crops are severely inhibited by saline soils. While some of the salt-tolerant plants can grow in the saline conditions, which could utilize the saline soils by culturing salt-tolerant plants and provide us food, vegetables, fruits, animal forage, flowers and bioenergy. This will solve the contradiction between the increase in population and the decrease in cultivated land area, and at the same time, provide a better method to develop and utilize of saline land. Therefore, screening more salt-tolerant plant and halophytes with high potential value in agriculture is an urgent task

Which plant supplement light is more suitable for greenhouse crop supplement light?

When planting crops in large sheds, you must worry about the lighting of the plants. If the sun is insufficient, it will affect the growth and flowering of the crops. Therefore, people will think of using LED full-spectrum plant supplement light to supplement light for plants.

5 light sources that affect plant growth

  Light is the basic environmental factor for plant growth and development. It is not only the basic energy source for photosynthesis, but also an important regulator of plant growth and development. The growth of plants is not only restricted by the amount of light or light intensity (photon flux density, photonfluxdensity, PFD), but also by light quality, that is, light and radiation of different wavelengths and their different composition ratios.

  The solar spectrum can be roughly divided into ultraviolet radiation (ultraviolet, UV<400nm, including UV-A320~400nm; UV-B280~320nm; UV-C<280nm, 100~280nm), visible light or photosynthetically active radiation (photosynthetically active radiation, PAr , 400~700nm, including blue light 400~500nm; green light 500~600nm; red light 600~700nm) and infrared radiation (700~800nm). Due to the absorption of ozone in the stratosphere (stratosphere), uc-c and most of uv-b cannot reach the surface of the earth. The intensity of uv-b radiation reaching the ground changes due to geographic (altitude and latitude), time (day time, seasonal changes), meteorological (cloud layer, thickness, etc.) and other environmental factors such as atmospheric pollution. .

  Plants perceive subtle changes in light quality, light intensity, duration and direction of light in the growing environment, and initiate changes in the physiological and morphological structures necessary for survival in this environment. Blue light, red light and far-red light play an extremely critical role in controlling the light morphogenesis of plants. The photoreceptors of phytochrome (Phy), cryptochrome (Cry) and photoreceptors (Phot) receive light signals and trigger plant growth and development changes through signal transduction.

  The monochromatic light mentioned here refers to light in a specific range of wavelengths. The wavelength range of the same monochromatic light used by different experimental subjects is not completely the same, and it often overlaps with other monochromatic lights with similar wavelengths to different degrees, especially before the emergence of LED light sources with good monochromaticity. in this way. Naturally, different or even contradictory results will be produced.

  Red light

  Red light (R) inhibits internode elongation, promotes lateral branching and tillering, delays flower differentiation, and increases anthocyanins, chlorophyll and carotenoids. Red light can promote the positive light movement of Arabidopsis roots. Red light has a strong positive effect on the resistance of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses.

  Far red light (FR) can counteract the red light effect in many cases. Low r/fr ratio leads to reduced photosynthetic capacity of kidney beans. In the growth room, white fluorescent lamps are used as the main light source, and LEDs are used to supplement far red radiation (emission peak 734nm) to reduce the content of anthocyanins, carotenoids and chlorophyll, and make the plant fresh weight, dry weight, stem length, leaf length and leaf length. Width increases. The effect of supplementing fr on growth may be due to the increase in light absorption caused by the increase in leaf area. Arabidopsis thaliana grown under low r/fr conditions has larger and thicker leaves, larger biomass, and strong cold adaptability than plants grown under high R/FR. Different ratios of R/FR can also change the salt resistance of plants.

  Blu-ray

  Generally speaking, increasing the share of blue light in white light can shorten internodes, reduce leaf area, reduce relative growth rate and increase nitrogen/carbon (n/c) ratio.

  Blue light is needed for chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast formation in higher plants, as well as sun chloroplasts with high chlorophyll a/b ratio and low carotenoid levels. Under the red light, the photosynthetic rate of the cells of the algae will gradually decrease, and the photosynthetic rate will quickly recover after turning to blue light or increasing some blue light under continuous red light. After dark-growing tobacco cells were transferred to continuous blue light for 3 days, the total amount and chlorophyll content increased sharply. Consistent with this, the dry weight of cells per unit volume of culture medium will also increase sharply, and will increase very slowly under continuous red light.

For the photosynthesis and growth and development of plants, red light alone is not enough. Wheat can complete its life cycle under a single red LED light source. To obtain very large plants and a large number of seeds, an appropriate amount of blue light must be added (Table 1). The yield of lettuce, spinach and radish grown under a single red light is lower than that of plants grown under a combination of red and blue light, while the yield of plants grown under a moderate amount of red and blue light is comparable to that of plants grown under a cool white fluorescent light. Similarly, Arabidopsis thaliana can produce seeds under a single red light. Compared with plants grown under a cool white fluorescent light, as the proportion of blue light decreases (10%~1%), plants grown under a combination of red and blue light Bolting, flowering and fruiting will be delayed. The seed yield of plants grown under a 10% combination of red and blue light is only half of that of plants grown under a cool white fluorescent lamp. Excessive blue light inhibits plant growth, shortens the internodes, reduces branches, reduces leaf area and reduces total dry weight. There are obvious species differences in the blue light needs of plants.

Although some studies with different types of light sources have shown that the differences in plant morphology and growth and development are related to the different proportions of blue light in the spectrum, the conclusions are still questionable because the composition of the non-blue light emitted by the different types of lamps is also different. Although the dry weight and net photosynthetic rate per unit leaf area of ​​soybean and sorghum plants grown under the same intensity of fluorescent lamps are significantly higher than those of plants grown under low-pressure sodium lamps, these results cannot be attributed to the lack of blue light under low-pressure sodium lamps. I am afraid it is also related to too much yellow and green light and too little orange-red light under low-pressure sodium lamps.

  Green light

  The dry weight of tomato seedlings grown under white light (including red, blue and green light) was significantly lower than that of seedlings grown under red and blue light. The results of spectroscopic detection of growth inhibition in culture showed that green light is a harmful light quality with a peak at 550nm. The plant height, freshness, and dry weight of marigolds grown under light that removes the green light will increase by 30%-50% compared to plants grown under full-spectrum light. Full-spectrum light supplementing green light leads to short plants and reduced dry and fresh weight. Removal of green light enhances marigold blooming, while supplementation of green light inhibits the blooming of dianthus and lettuce.

 There are also research reports on green light promoting plant growth. Kim et al. (2006) summarized the experimental results of red and blue combined light (LEDs) supplementing green light and concluded that plant growth is inhibited when green light exceeds 50%, and plant growth is enhanced when the proportion of green light is less than 24%. Although the addition of green light to the red and blue combination light background provided by the LED led to a significant increase in the lettuce ground stem, the conclusion that the addition of green light strengthens plant growth and produces more biomass than under cold white light is a problem : (1) The dry weight of biomass they observed is only the dry weight of the upper part of the ground. If the dry weight of the underground root system is included, the results may be different; (2) Lettuce grown under red, blue and green lights on the ground The dry weight of the part is larger than that of plants grown under cool white fluorescent lamps. It is likely that the three-color lamps contain much less green light (24%) than cool white fluorescent lamps (51%). That is to say, the green light inhibiting effect of cool white fluorescent lamps is greater than that of cold white fluorescent lamps. Three-color light; (3) The photosynthetic rate of plants grown under combined red and blue light is significantly higher than that of plants grown under green light. The results support the previous speculation.

  The green light effect is usually the opposite of the red and blue light effects. Green light can reverse blue light and promote the opening of stomata. Treating the seeds with a green laser can quickly grow radishes and carrots to twice the size of the control. A dim pulse of green light can accelerate the elongation of seedlings growing in the dark, that is, promote the elongation of the stem. Treatment of Arabidopsis albino seedlings with a single green light (525nm±16 nm) pulse (11.1 μmol·m-2·s-1, 9s) from an LED plant light source resulted in a decrease in plastid transcripts and an increase in stem growth rate .

  (2007) Based on the research data of plant photobiology over the past 50 years, the role of green light in plant development, flowering, stomata opening, stem growth, chloroplast gene expression and plant growth regulation was discussed. The blue light sensor harmoniously regulates the growth and development of plants. It must be noted that in this review, the green light (500~600nm) is expanded to include the yellow part of the spectrum (580~600nm).

  Yellow light

  Yellow light (580~600nm) inhibits the growth of lettuce. Only yellow light (580~600nm) can explain the difference between the growth effects of high-pressure sodium lamps and metal halide lamps, that is, yellow light inhibits growth. Yellow light (peak at 595nm) inhibits cucumber growth stronger than green light (peak at 520nm).

  Some contradictory conclusions about the interweaving of yellow/green light effects may be due to the inconsistent wavelength range of light used in those studies.   Ultraviolet radiation

  Ultraviolet radiation reduces plant leaf area, inhibits hypocotyl elongation, reduces photosynthesis and productivity, makes plants vulnerable to pathogens, but can effectively promote anthocyanin synthesis.

Supplementation of uv-b led to an increase in the total biomass of 4 cultivars and 12 cultivars (6 of which reached a significant level); those cultivars that are sensitive to UV-B have both leaf area and tiller number Obviously reduced; there are 6 cultivars with increased chlorophyll content; 5 cultivars with significantly reduced leaf photosynthetic rate, and 1 cultivar with significantly increased chlorophyll content (its total biomass also increased significantly).

  The ratio of UV-B/PAR is an important determinant of the response of plants to UV-B. UV-B and PAR together severely affect the morphology and oil yield of peppermint. The production of very high-quality oil requires a high level of unfiltered natural light.

  It needs to be pointed out that although laboratory studies on the effects of UV-B are useful in identifying transcription factors and other molecular and physiological factors, the results usually cannot be mechanically extrapolated to the natural environment.

The led plant supplement light is specially developed to supplement the light for plants. The spectrum is in line with the absorption of sunlight by plant growth, and different powers can meet the requirements of crop growth for light intensity. There are many types of plant supplement light, so which kind of supplement light is cheap and easy to use?

From the research and development process, there are high-pressure sodium lamps, HID lamps, LED supplementary lights, and the fifth generation of plant supplementary lights-laser supplementary lights. Among these types of fill light, the laser plant fill light is the latest generation of fill light, so the effect and advantages will be better than the previous types of fill light.

The laser plant supplement light is a special LED plant growth lamp with a specific spectrum wavelength designed to replace sunlight with laser synthesis spectrum technology, promote plant growth photosynthesis, and create a suitable growth environment for plants. She occupies less space (one lamp per mu of land), consumes less electricity (3 kWh a month), is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and the spectrum can be combined. The results are also good after experiments.

If you want to use the LED plant supplement light to have a good effect, in addition to using the appropriate supplement light, you must also have the correct use method, such as the distance between the led plant supplement light and the plant, and the use time of the supplement light pay attention. Then let's take a look at the use of plant fill light. How long is it suitable for general lighting?

The role of led plant supplement light is to give plants when the natural light is insufficient, so we must pay attention to it, if the weather is usually sunny and the light is sufficient, then there is no need to use supplement light, otherwise it will not only consume electricity, but the effect will not be comparable. The effect of natural light. If there is sufficient sunlight during the day, you can add light for 2-3 hours in the morning or evening. If it is raining on a cloudy day or when the light is insufficient for a long time in a hazy day, you must use the fill light for a long time to fill up the light. You can fill up the light throughout the day, and you can also extend the fill light time appropriately at night.

If it is sunny during the day, you can add light for 4-5 hours a day. If the light is weak during the day, you can add light throughout the day. If the crops have higher requirements for light, you must adjust the time of the light according to the actual situation. However, the crops also have to "rest" at night, so do not fill up the crops overnight, otherwise it will have a counterproductive effect.

National Prairie Day

In North America, the prairies are at the heart of the continent. On the first Saturday of June, we recognize one of the richest ecosystems on the face of the earth with National Prairie Day.

A wide swath of central North America is comprised of flat grassland running from the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan down to Texas. Prairies are home to a wide variety of wildlife including prairie dogs, prairie chickens, buffalo, bison, elk, deer, rabbits, hawks, and foxes. Diverse native prairie plantings offer year-round food, shelter and nesting grounds for habitat.

What took thousands of years to form approximately 170 million acres has been reduced in the last 150 years to 1 percent of habitat.  Where once a vast and un-numbered variety of species thrived, the fertile soil now produces bumper crops of wheat, sorghum, flax, rye and oats.

The result is the loss of complex established ecosystems that once supported precious native birds, pollinators, insects and other native wildlife—habitat loss contributing to extinctions. What remains is teeming with diverse flora and fauna species, many endangered of becoming extinct, with some still yet to be discovered and identified. Original tracts of undisturbed prairie serve as living ecological and native American cultural research stations. These models of precious ecosystems with genetic resources continue to be studied, their ecological worth and economic benefits yet to be realized.

National Prairie Day is an opportunity to educate the public about preservation, conservation, and restoration opportunities as well as the history, wildlife and habitats of the prairie.   To understand the prairie is to look beyond what often initially appears simple, to learn about each form of life that thrives within it, to comprehend complex systems we can learn from, to ensure our future.  The natural beauty of prairies can be breathtaking.  Today’s “amber waves of grain” were created from the fertile soil of these oceans of grasslands that were once tall enough to hide a man on horseback. Prairies inspired the paintings of Harvey Dunn in South Dakota, poetry from Walt Whitman, and books from authors such as Laura Ingalls Wilder in Missouri.

Measurable Interrelated Benefits of Prairie Include:

Water Quality and Quantity Protection:

prairie can absorb up to seven inches of rain without runoff

prairie plants are adapted to drought, like having drought insurance

watershed protection

Algae is a group of predominantly aquatic, photosynthetic, and nucleus-bearing organisms that lack true roots, stems, leaves, and specialized multicellular reproductive structures of plants. There are more than 10,000 algal species throughout the globe. Autotrophic microalgae are cultivated on land in large ponds or enclosed photobioreactors using enriched CO2. Heterotrophic microalgae are grown in large fermenters using sugar or starch. Seaweed (macroalgae) is cultivated in seawater. Algae are used in various industries. They are used in human food, animal and aquaculture feed, organic farming, and fertilizer products.

The global algae market continues to develop due to functional benefits beyond the usual nutritional and health benefits. Furthermore, algae can provide better oil yields in the biofuel industry than other biofuel feedstocks, such as beets, sorghum, and corn, among others. As a result, the global algae market is likely to flourish. Increasing R&D efforts by manufacturers are further expected to drive the expansion of the global algae market.

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Algae Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely hit many economies around the world. Government measures to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, such as nationwide lockdowns and quarantines, have negatively impacted many industries. Most manufacturers of food products in the F&B sector have felt the brunt of the pandemic. Social distancing, self-isolation, and city-wide lockdowns have forced the closures of many establishments in countries across the world.

Speak to our Analysts to Understand the Impact of COVID-19 on Your Business: https://www.meticulousresearch.com/speak-to-analyst/cp_id=5424

The pandemic strained consumer F&B product manufacturers due to reduced consumption and disrupted supply chains. The F&B sector witnessed a minor decline due to the lockdowns imposed across various countries. This scenario negatively impacted the confectionery industry since people only purchased essential products. In addition, government bodies passed various rules and regulations on purchasing essential goods. According to trade organizations in the nutritional products industry, there has been a significant impact on the global supply chain for functional foods and dietary supplements, which has, in turn, lowered the consumption of microalgal biomass among end-users impacting the growth of this market.

In the algae industry, a major slowdown in algae sales was witnessed in the first quarter of 2020 due to disruptions in logistics and transportation. The market also witnessed interruptions in the entire value chain from raw materials supply for culture media to production, packaging, and biomass distribution.

The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on this market were felt in China starting in 2020, as the country is one of the world’s largest producers and one of the leading consumers of algal species. In China, factory closures, algae processing facilities operating at reduced capacities, and restrictions on importing and exporting algae biomass strongly impacted the algae market. Moreover, the pandemic also adversely impacted the algae market in many countries, including the U.S., India, Australia, Brazil, and the EU-5 countries. Due to the countrywide lockdown in India, many commercial algae production and processing facilities shut down or were operating at reduced capacities, leading to substantial losses in domestic algal production.

However, good nutrition intake is the top priority to maintain an optimal immune system, supporting the strong demand for plant and algae protein food products & beverages through e-commerce platforms. In addition, some of the algal protein products are considered to support the human immune system. For instance, spirulina has immune-boosting and anti-viral properties.

Quick Buy – Algae Market- Global Opportunity Analysis And Industry Forecast (2023-2030), Research Report: https://www.meticulousresearch.com/Checkout/48430334

Thus, demand for microalgal species, such as spirulina and chlorella, increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as the focus on the nutritional content increased. Despite the increase in demand, there were hindrances in the supply chain due to the lockdown imposed by governments in many countries. This supply chain got back on track post-lockdown.

The global algae market is segmented on the basis of type (macroalgae {red algae, brown algae, and green algae}, microalgae {spirulina, chlorella, Dunaliella salina, Haematococcus pluvialis, and other microalgae}), distribution channel (business-to-business [B2B], business-to-consumer [B2C]), form (dry form {algae powder, algae flakes, and other dried forms}, liquid form), and application (food & beverages, nutraceuticals, animal feed, cosmetics, and Others). The study also evaluates industry competitors and analyzes the regional and country-level markets.

Based on type, the algae market is mainly segmented into macroalgae and microalgae. In 2023, the macroalgae segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market mainly due to the rising consumer adoption of plant-based products, growing consumption of seaweed-based products, sources of high nutrients & minerals, and rising government initiatives to encourage seaweed cultivation in several countries across the globe. Also, the growing focus on macroalgae biomass to manufacture biofuels is further expected to create opportunities for stakeholders operating in the macroalgae market globally. However, the microalgae segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Based on distribution channel, the algae market is mainly segmented into Business-to-Business (B2B) channels and Business-to-Consumer (B2C). The B2B distribution channel segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market in 2023. The large share of this segment is mainly attributed to the growing demand for algae-derived products and direct bulk purchasing of algae by manufacturers from various industries, such as nutraceuticals, food & beverage, and animal feed, for further product development.

Based on form, the algae market is segmented into dry and liquid forms. The dry form segment is expected to account for the larger share of the algae market in 2023, mainly due to the rising demand for algae powder from the food and cosmetics industries. In addition, its several benefits, such as comparatively high shelf-life and ease of transport and storage, are further expected to support the growth of this market. This segment is expected to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period 2023–2030.

Based on application, the algae market is primarily divided into food and beverages, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, animal feed, and others. The food and beverage segment is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market in 2023 due to the increasing demand for organic foods products, growing consumption of plant proteins and vegan products, and increased utilization of algae for human consumption. Furthermore, rapid growth in population, increasing awareness of the health benefits of algae, changes in lifestyle patterns and taste preferences among consumers, healthy eating habits, and rising disposable income are further expected to support the growth of this market.

Based on geography, Asia-Pacific is expected to account for the largest share of the global algae market, followed by Europe and North America in 2023, owing to the presence of several local and regional players, government initiatives to promote the cultivation and usage of algae in several industries, growing demand for organic food products, and increasing applications of commercial sea vegetables, especially in food. Moreover, large-scale production and huge consumption of seaweed, huge availability of raw materials, favorable climatic conditions for the production of algae, and cheap labor availability are further expected to support the growth of the algae market in the region.

However, North America is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period 2023–2030, mainly due to the rising consumption of health supplements, strict regulations against the use of synthetic colors, growth of subsidiary industries like cosmetics and biofertilizers, increasing preference for natural protein sources, and presence of key algae biomass manufacturers with huge production capacities, especially in the U.S.

Sorghum & Sorghum Seeds Market Challenges

The market's expansion is impeded by sorghum seeds’ short shelf life

Sorghum seed treatments can prevent seed and seedlings from low-moderate insect attacks during the emergence and development of industrial plants. Despite the short duration of the protection, crop loss and pest establishment are estimated to be postponed. For instance, treated seeds have a short shelf life, seed germination, and vigor decline at a rapid rate, particularly in sorghum seeds. The physical and chemical properties of the formulation have an impact on microbe survival. It is challenging to maintain the viability of coated microorganisms in seeds, resulting in lower shelf life. Growers have been slow to embrace beneficial agricultural strategies such as dose-restricted pesticide usage and crop rotation. Thus, sorghum seeds’ short shelf life is one of the key challenges for the Market. However, sorghum and sorghum seed development are being funded and invested in by a number of firms. For example, the World Bank-supported 87 seed sector initiatives totalling $US 513 million, with a significant concentration on marginal commodities like sorghum supporting the market growth
