During vinegar production with wood chips, bacteria grow on the surface of the wood, forming what is called a biofilm. Bacteria attached to a surface like this can produce many compounds, as well as block the flow of a fluid. The latter behavior has been used to increase the amount of oil extracted from an oil field. Bacteria growing in the wells block areas that are more open. When water is then pumped into the ground, the biofilms drive the water into other areas that still contain oil. This then forces the oil to the surface. Microbes can also be used to create fuels directly. Certain bacteria ferment glycerol to form ethanol, a biofuel that can be used in automobiles. The glycerol is a by-product of biodiesel production, but it is more valuable if converted to fuel. With genetic engineering, microbes can also be altered to produce fuels that they don’t usually make. One company has modified the DNA of yeast to create biofuel from sugarcane feedstock. The challenge to all of these methods is creating a process that produces fuels more easily and cheaply than conventional methods.

OMICS International is organizing 2nd World Congress on Beneficial Microbes: Food, Pharma, Aqua & Beverages Industry on September, 23-25, 2015 Phoenix, USA . The theme of the conference is “Exploiting the power of Microbes for the Industrial Development”. This congress is expecting audience such as experts from food microbiology, aquaculture microbiology, probiotics, and experts from academics as well as industrial microbiology.

Market Analysis-

An overview of global biofuels is provided by a number of reports (included in the EBTP Reports Database. In August 2013, the Global Renewable Fuels Alliance GRFA announced an interactive map showing the current mandate and planned targets for biofuel production in countries across the globe. The GRFA forecasts that global fuel ethanol production will exceed 90 billion liters in 2014. According to the US Energy Information Administration, the US produced more than 13.3 billion gallons of ethanol in 2013 (slightly up on the 2012 figure). Various projections for global growth of biofuels production to 2020 have been made by international organisations, independent consultants and biofuels associations. The PEW Trusts report Who's winning the clean energy race? 2012 indicates that the US is currently the world leader in biofuel investments with $1.5bn invested in 2012. However, globally, investment in biofuels fell 47% between 2011 and 2012.
