biofuel production. The microorganisms and their application have been listed in
Table 2.1.
The microbial enzymes have a better capacity to digest biomass and produce
different types of biofuels. The microbial enzymes use biomass as substrate and
convert it into biofuels. The biomass derived from algae, bacteria, fungi, and plants
can be converted into biofuel via several biological and chemical processes. The
biological biomass conversion can be done using several microbial substances such
as extracellular enzymes (Parmar et al. 2011). The biomass conversion and biofuel
production process are mentioned in Fig. 2.1.
These microorganisms produce suitable enzymes for the conversion of biomass
as well as are also used as raw materials (Okada et al. 2020; Mostafa 2010). This
study focused on the introduction of biofuel, classification of biofuels, as well as role
of microorganisms in biofuel production.
