Abstract

Application of microbial biotechnology to greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation in the 21st century is discussed. It is found that microbial systems can remove carbon dioxide and other gases from the atmosphere. It is observed that improvement of enzyme systems for the fixation of gases is a challenging task and need further research. It is expected that photosynthesis process and large scale bio-H 2 production can play an important role in the stabilization of atmospheric GHG concentrations.
