Abstract

Biodegradation of hydrocarbons involves various metabolic pathways producing a broad range of metabolites. Various biopolymers such as bioplastics, polylactides and polysaccharides have been reported to be released by microbes as a result of defence and storage needs. Biogases such as biohydrogen and methane are also produced as by-products during microbial fermentation. Few studies also revealed the release of bio-acids such as acetic acid, lactic acid during the anaerobic biodegradation of organic hydrocarbons. Biosurfactants are another class of surface-active metabolite produced by microbes during the metabolism of toxic hydrocarbons in order to improve the overall bioavailability and ultimately their biodegradation. However, their production is limited, which challenges researchers to gain an insight into the possible metabolic pathways involved in their synthesis to improve the production. This chapter details information on various reported metabolic pathways associated with the production of these biomolecules. Also, the most common tools associated with the identification of these metabolites and their characterization techniques are briefly described.
