“…The feedstock, substrate or media required to harbor such large and diverse amount of microbes can be availed through vastly available and negatively assessed waste, a value generating feedstock. Such biorefineries have attracted attention of the researchers as the microbes offer biomass cultivation on a non-agricultural land, climate and time independent cultivation, short harvesting cycle, less environmental load and complete biodegradable nature [ [3] , [4] , [5] ]. Moreover, microbial biorefinery put forward a holistic model for economic, environmental and social growth by sequestering carbon from renewable carbons sources such as environment (in case of autotrophic microbes), lignocellulosic waste, industrial waste and municipal waste as described in Fig.…”
