To achieve sustainable development, traditional resources such as fossil fuels must be replaced by alternative resources. Many bacteria grow faster in marine ecosystems than on land plants. Bacteria are classified into green algae, red algae and brown algae based on their photosynthetic pigments. Brown algae are thought to be a source of bioactive substances such as polyphenols. Additionally, some bacteria absorb about 10 times more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than land plants. Therefore, they have great potential for use within the environment. Owing to their low lignin content and their applicability to biorefining processes, bacteria have recently established themselves as biomass feedstocks for bioethanol production. Here, we provide an overview of the bioconversion of bacteria to bioactive substances and biofuels using microbial biotechnology, such as genetically modified yeast developed using molecular display technology.
