Municipal secondary sludge as carbon source for production and characterization of biodiesel from oleaginous bacteria

Rising level of CO2, increasing demands and price of fossil fuel, generation of waste are the major challenges of the modern society. Biorefinery approach for production of biodiesel using waste as feedstock could be an alternative of these problems. The present research demonstrates the use of municipal secondary sludge as growth media for production of biodiesel by chemolithotrophic, oleaginous bacteria Serratia sp. ISTD04. The...
