Abstract
Production of biofuels at commercial level has been perceived as sustainable
solution to the problem of energy and economic crisis. Of all the liquid biofuels, an
important one is biodiesel, the fatty acids methyl esters. Due to beneficial
decomposition of bio-waste resources towards clear environments, oils from
single cell microbes (yeasts) are gaining attention. Further cost reliance of these
microbes to produce single cell oils (SCOs) could be reduced by using
lignocellulosic waste (LCW) biomass produced in millions of metric tons annually
all over the world covering 60% of annual crop produced. This review presents
the yeasts SCO production from LCW, and its favorability towards
commercialization in developing countries like Pakistan, which is eighth largest
country among GDP sector for farm production.
