Abstract | Advanced biofuels, especially from lignocellulosic biomass, are mainly produced by mesophilic yeasts and Clostridium species. But, these microorganisms cannot directly utilize lignocellulosic biomass, which are renewable, abundant, and non-feedstocks. Recently, thermophilic bacteria have been identified as a potential chassis for biofuel production due to its ability to metabolize lignocellulosic biomass and broad carbon utilization spectrum through consolidated bioprocessing. Therefore, this review focuses on the importance of thermophilic bacteria for biofuel production mainly from existing lignocellulosic biomass. |
