Abstract

The microorganisms, from their ability to decompose organic matter to their capacity to transform it into various biofuels, could be defined as veritable "microscopic factories" generating bioenergy. They are important for replacing fossil-based compounds with bio-based chemicals and fuels that are crucial for the implementation of a sustainable bioeconomy.
