There have been on-going debates over microbial production routes of various liquid fuels against their synthetic counterparts; highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each! In this issue of Biofuel Research Journal, a comprehensive review paper by an international collaboration elaborates on the different aspects of various green liquid fuel from a microbial perspective. In the cover image, borrowing the most famous soliloquy in the works of William Shakespeare 'To be or not to be', the microbes of different type surrounded by a solid environment representing the synthetic world stress on their advantages in pulling it off!
