Biodiesel is emerging as a viable alternative owing to its biodegradability, low toxicity, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. This review highlights the environmental and economic advantages of biodiesel, with a special emphasis on microbial lipids from wastewater as a promising third-generation feedstock. The novelty of this review is the comprehensive evaluation of wastewater and sewage sludge as low-cost, nutrient-rich substrates for microbial lipid production. In this review, the biodiesel production by direct lipid extraction and microbial conversion routes is discussed. Biodiesel production from different types of industrial wastewaters, such as municipal, dairy, pulp and paper, brewery, and textile wastewater using oleaginous microorganisms is discussed as well. This review revealed that lipid content in different microbes ranged from 27 to 90% when different wastewaters were used as substrates. Further, this review compares the fuel properties of biodiesel derived from plant oils, animal fats, and microbial lipids, their fatty acid profiles, and estimated production costs, and it varies from 0.1 to 0.83 USD/L. In addition, this review also focuses on the biodiesel production from wastewater using microalgae, fungi, and bacteria. Biodiesel with a high cetane number of 64.47 was produced by Cryptococcus curvatus. Finally, key challenges in producing biodiesel from wastewater and future prospects are discussed, emphasizing the potential of wastewater as a substrate for sustainable biodiesel production.</p>","PeriodicalId":9067,"journal":{"name":"Bioresources and Bioprocessing","volume":"12 1","pages":"70"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12227401/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144559053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The previously isolated bacterial strains, namely, Corynebacterium accolens strain CNTC Th1/57, Bacillus rugosus strain SPB7, Lactobacillus pasteurii DSM 23907 and Cytobacillus firmus strain NBRC 15306, were exposed to antagonistic testing against Botrytis cinerea and Fusarium oxysporum.

In recent years, non-recombinant surface display using food-grade bacteria, such as lactic acid bacteria (LAB), have gained interest because of their safety, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. β-Xylosidase is one of the many biocatalytic enzymes targeted for immobilisation due to its key role in the complete saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass, including xylan hemicellulose. Recently, the xylose-tolerant β-xylosidase, LfXyl43, was identified in Limosilactobacillus fermentum. LfXyl43 is capable of producing xylose from the degradation of xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS) and beechwood xylan. This study aimed to immobilise this new biocatalyst on the surface of LAB-derived bacteria-like particles (BLP) and investigate its applicability and reusability in the degradation of xylan hemicellulose. Additionally, the influence of the anchor position and the presence of linker peptides on the display and activity of the β-xylosidase was investigated. Four expression vectors were constructed to express different anchor-xylosidase fusion proteins. Upon expression and purification, all anchor-xylosidase fusion proteins were active towards the artificial substrate p-nitrophenyl-β-D-xylopyranoside. In addition, all anchor-xylosidase fusion proteins were successfully displayed on the surface of BLP. However, only the β-xylosidases with linker peptide showed hydrolytic activity after immobilisation on BLP. BLP displaying β-xylosidases demonstrated high activity against XOS and beechwood xylan, thereby producing high amounts of xylose. Moreover, the immobilised enzyme demonstrated reusability across several bioconversion cycles.
