Abstract
Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes and major contributors to global biogeochemical cycles. They possess powerful biological activity, high adaptability to extreme environment, rapid growth rate and genetic editability. Here, we review cyanobacteria with focus on their application in environmental pollution and biomedicine. Cyanobacteria can be used for pollutant removal, biofuel and biochar production, template for drug discovery, hypoxia-related disease therapy, anticancer, antiviral, antibacterial, antioxidant and antifibrotic. Spiral-shaped cyanobacteria are excellent carriers for drug delivery. The oxygen-producing capacity of cyanobacteria is promising in the treatment of hypoxia-related diseases.
期刊介绍：
Environmental Chemistry Letters explores the intersections of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology. Published articles are of paramount importance to the examination of both natural and engineered environments. The journal features original and review articles of exceptional significance, encompassing topics such as the characterization of natural and impacted environments, the behavior, prevention, treatment, and control of mineral, organic, and radioactive pollutants. It also delves into interfacial studies involving diverse media like soil, sediment, water, air, organisms, and food. Additionally, the journal covers green chemistry, environmentally friendly synthetic pathways, alternative fuels, ecotoxicology, risk assessment, environmental processes and modeling, environmental technologies, remediation and control, and environmental analytical chemistry using biomolecular tools and tracers.
