Abstract
Global warming marked by spiraling concentration of CO2 in earth’s atmosphere is one of the most serious environmental concerns facing mankind. One of the most effective methods to mitigate the challenge of the rising levels of CO2 is sequestration of CO2 by microorganism inter-amos others since some microbes are capable of fixing atmospheric carbon dioxide into valuable products.
