Abstract

Objective
The coastal ecosystem plays a major role in maintaining the environment and economic assets for humans. But the ecosystem was severely polluted by human activity and climate change. This study investigates the integration of a bioreactor with marine symbiotic microbes that restore the coastal habitat through innovative marine plant tissue culture. The objective of the study is to design the integrated bioreactors for Marine plant tissue culture and restore the coastal habitat. The restoration was done by the marine symbiotic micro-organisms, like Mycorrhizae, Nitrogen-fixers, Endophytes, Rhizosphere microbes, and Pathogens. The review was taken by focusing on the plant-microbe interaction across diverse coastal ecosystems, such as dunes, mangroves, swamps, and forests.
Materials and methods
On the other side, the bioreactors were designed by non-agitated systems, rotating wall vessels, tubular membrane bioreactors, and single-use reactors were evaluated for their ability and flexibility to use in the plant tissue and cell cultivation. Key design features such as aeration, mixing efficiency, nutrient uptake, and shear stress mitigation were thoroughly examined.
Results
As a result, the coastal symbiotic microbes can efficiently influence the coastal ecosystem in coastal plant community structure and function, promoting resilience against salinity, nutrient limitation, and biotic stress. The advanced bioreactor engineering has improved mass propagation potential, reduced operational cost, and facilitated large-scale micropropagation of marine plant culture. The integration of microbiome-based inoculation within a bioreactor system provides a solution to naturally restore degraded habitats, improve plant growth, and monitor the ecosystem health by indicator microbes.
Conclusions
The combination of microbial ecology with plant tissue culture with bioreactor technology can give a valuable and efficient scalable restoration of the marine ecosystem. Further research is needed on the inoculation of the culture and bioreactor optimization is arranged for species-specific application. This approach holds the substantial promise for reinforcing the ecological resilience of vulnerable coastal regions amid global environmental change.
