Abstract
- Wastewater is rich in lipids.
- Specialized bacteria in wastewater treatment plants accumulate lipids.
- The resulting oleaginous bacterial biomass should be exploited for biofuel synthesis.
- Bacterial genetics of lipid metabolism are established for several model strains.
- This knowledge has to be harnessed for advanced wastewater energy recovery in situ.
