A comparative assessment of microbial biodiesel and its life cycle analysis.

Biodiesel is a type of sustainable, biodegradable energy made from natural sources like vegetable oils, animal fat, and from microbes. Unlike traditional diesel, it has a lower carbon footprint and produces fewer harmful emissions when burned. Biodiesel has gained popularity as a more sustainable substitute for hydrocarbon-based diesel and may be utilized in diesel engines without any modification. In this review, biodiesel from microorganisms such as algae, yeast, and fungi and advantages over another feedstock were discussed. The life cycle evaluation of biodiesel is a thorough assessment of the ecological and economic effects of biodiesel production and use, from the extraction of raw ingredients to the waste disposal process. The life cycle analysis considers the entire process, including the production of feedstocks, the production of biodiesel, and the use of biodiesel in vehicles and other applications. Life cycle analysis of biodiesel produced from microorganisms takes into consideration the environmental impact and sustainability of each step in the production process, including the impact on land use, water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and the availability of resources. In this section, biodiesel produced from microorganisms and other raw materials, its comparisons, and also steps involved in the life cycle such as the cultivation of microorganisms, harvesting of biomass, and conversion to biodiesel were discussed. The processes like extraction and purification, hydrothermal liquefaction, and their environmental impacts were examined by using various LCA software from the previously mentioned process.

Features of the biochemistry of Mycobacterium smegmatis, as a possible model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

An alternate host for mycobacteria is Mycobacterium smegmatis which is used frequently. It is a directly budding eco-friendly organism not emulated as human infection. It is mainly useful for the investigation of various microorganisms in the sort of Mycobacteria in cell culture laboratories. Some Mycobacterium species groups that is normal, unsafe ailments, likely to Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis. At present, various laboratories are clean and culture this type of species to make an opinion that fascinating route of harmful Mycobacteria. This publication provides aggregate data on cell shape, genome studies, ecology, pathology and utilization of M. smegmatis.
