Despite microalgae have been extensively researched for biofuel or biochar production through biotechnological interventions [1, 2, 3]; the less explored area is its use in closing the loop of carbon between capture and smart carbon resilient aquaculture of herbivorous fishes in open ponds. This is a win-win strategy towards carbon mitigation and production of low carbon foot print fish especially in tropical countries. The purpose of the study is to overview the role of microalgae in global warming mitigation and to focus on closing the loop in carbon cycle by exploiting the trapped carbon through food chain of low carbon foot print fish in open ponds.

In 2016, the amount of waste agricultural and forestry fibers is 2.02 billion tons in China. Among them, 1.078 billion tons belong to waste agricultural fibers and 0.924 billion tons belong to waste forestry fibers. Moreover, there is a big developing potential of agricultural and forestry fibers in China since the area of forest are quite big. There are 44.03 million hectares of suitable forest and 7.1 million hectares of non-stumpage forest. If 20% of these lands is used to grow energy plants, the production of biomass can reach 0.1 billion tons with the expectation that one hectare of land can produce 10 tons energy plants. Energy storage of these plants is equal to that of 50 million tons of standard coal. There are also 76.49 million hectares of marginal land resources. If 20% of these lands is used to grow energy plants, the production of biomass can reach 0.152 billion tons with the expectation that one hectare of land can produce 10 tons energy plants. Energy storage of these plants is equal to that of 76 million tons of standard coal [1-3].

Toxoplasmosis is a cosmopolitan disease with acute and chronic infections, caused by the obligate intracellular protozoan parasite. Toxoplasma gondii that can infect a variety of cells in almost all warm blooded animals including humans. The study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection among males in Duhok city using ELISA (IgG and IgM).The relationship between toxoplasmosis and reproductive hormones including testosterone, free testosterone, and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and its association with male sterility were also investigated.

Sustainable energy production is one of the most important resources for humanity. Sunlight is a vital energy source for the Earth and photosynthesis is the main biological process that channels solar energy into the biosphere [1]. Microalgae are a very heterogeneous group of organisms that performs high photosynthetic efficiency and CO2 absorption, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gases. In recent years, the major focus of applied phycological research have attracted a great deal of interest as potential tools for producing different compounds, such as high-value chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food supplements and biofuels [2,3]. Thus, different strains of microalgae are used in different purposes, in order to generate high biomass and bioproducts productivity with low harvest cost [4,5].

The word mushroom is used through world to express the different species of fungus belongs to the order of Basidomyecets or Ascomycetes. Basidomyecets or Ascomycetes can be found everywhere in soils rich in organic matter and humus, moist wood, animals waste after heavy rain or a sudden change of temperature and soon after a few hours or day’s they disappear, leaving no sign but, mycelium [1]. As estimated by different researchers, there are over 70,000 fungi species on the world. About 2000 species (31 genera) are primarily edible mushrooms. However, about 10% of some 30 species are poisonous mushrooms and relatively small, numbers are considered as lethal [2].

Poaceae are the fifth largest family of flowering plants following the Asteraceae, Orchidaceae, Fabaceae and Rubiaceae. Globally, about 12,000 grass species in about 771 genera that are classified into 12 subfamilies and the family is economically important because it includes Teff (Eragrottis teff), wheat (Triticum L.), rice (Oryza L.) and corn (Zea L.), as well as numerous forage, bamboo and biofuel grass species [1]. Grasses grow on all continents in tropical, temperate and Arctic zones and are absent only from Antarctica [2]. Grasses have long had significance in human society for feed and fodder for people and domesticated animals for thousands of years. During seed germination and seedling growth of this grass, there is great interaction with a range of microorganisms present in the surrounding soil. Root exudates from this grass are mainly composed of water-soluble sugars, organic acids, and amino acids, hormones, vitamins, amino compounds, phenolics and sugar phosphate esters [3]. Broadly, there are three distinct components recognized in the rhizosphere; the rhizosphere per se (soil), the rhizoplane, and the root itself. The rhizosphere is thus the zone of soil influenced by roots through the release of substrates that affect microbial activity. The rhizoplane is the root surface, including the strongly adhering root particles. The root itself is a part of the system, because certain endophytic microorganisms are able to colonize inner root tissues [4]. Microorganisms present in the rhizosphere play important roles in ecological fitness of their plant host. The rhizosphere is a hotspot of plant-microbe interactions with profound influence on plant productivity and ecosystem function [5]. Shaped by the release of labile carbon (C) from plant roots and root uptake of nutrients and water, the physiochemical environment of the rhizosphere supports a microbial community compositionally and metabolically distinct from that found in bulk soil [6]. The resulting rhizosphere microbiome performs critical functions, modulating plant growth and development [7], plant health, and plant nutrient acquisition [5] as well as the production of antibiotics, geochemical cycling of minerals and plant colonization [8].
