Deciphering the role of Enterobacter cloacae as a green whole-cell biocatalyst for production of Calophyllum inophyllum biodiesel.

ABSTRACT: Marine bacteria are renowned for their resilience to extreme conditions such as variable temperatures and high salinity. Producing biodiesel through whole-cell biocatalysts derived from marine bacteria is an innovative and eco-friendly approach to biofuel production, leveraging the unique enzymatic abilities of microorganisms adapted to extreme marine environments. Their manufacturing costs and environmental footprint are significantly lowered as they involve fewer purification stages, function under gentler conditions, and generate less waste. Calophyllum inophyllum has been selected for this study because its high local abundance ensures a reliable and readily available biomass source, making it ideal for investigating its potential in biodiesel production.
