| Resumo(s): | Bacteria are recognized as a sustainable source of renewable feedstocks for production of biofuels and other chemicals. Triacylglycerols and wax esters, with potential applications similar to the ones derived from plants, can be produced by several groups of bacteria using inexpensive carbon sources, such as organic residues from industry or municipal sources. Also, aliphatic hydrocarbons, which are the main components of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels, can be produced by some bacteria directly from sunlight and CO2 or by other groups using renewable organic sources. This chapter highlights the advantages and biotechnological applications of bacterial oil and hydrocarbon (O&H) production, in particular for the biofuel industry, gives an overview of the bacterial groups having this capacity, and finally outlines major research needs in the field |
