Biodiesel from fungi

Biofuels are becoming more attractive and important due to the decreasing storage of fossil fuels and the environmental concerns. Among them, biodiesel is rather attractive for being due to the environmental benefits such as biodegradability, a decrease of sulfur, and aromatic hydrocarbons content, which reduced their emission during fuel combustion and lower emission of CO, CO2 and particulate. Moreover, it directly influenced human health by reducing 95% of cancer risk when compared with fossil diesel. The use of biofuel is still challenging due to the feedstock cost around 60 - 70% of the final cost. Nowadays, it is necessary to search for alternate source for biodiesel production alternate energy sources from environmental wastes high priority research interests worldwide.
