Aligning Microbial Biodiversity for Valorization of Biowastes: Conception to Perception

Indian Journal of Microbiology Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Generation of biowastes is increasing rapidly and its uncontrolled, slow and persistent fermentation leads to the release of Green-house gases (GHGs) into the environment. Exploration and exploitation of microbial diversity for degrading biowastes can result in producing diverse range of bioactive molecules, which can act as a source of bioenergy, biopolymers, nutraceuticals and antimicrobials. The whole process is envisaged to manage biowastes, and reduce their pollution causing capacity, and lead to a sustainable society. A strategy has been proposed for: (1) producing bioactive molecules, and (2) achieving a zero-pollution emission by recycling of the GHGs through biological routes.
