Enzymatic Production of Biodiesel 147 With cell-surface-displayed ProROL, substrate molecules could easily access ProROL and no treatment was needed to catalyze methanolysis reaction. S<strong>in</strong>ce the <strong>in</strong>itial reaction rate of FSProROL-display<strong>in</strong>g cells was as high as that of soluble ROL, the displayed FSProROL may have the same accessibility to substrates as free enzyme. For the <strong>in</strong>dustrial bioconversion process, lipases immobilized on the cell-surface are more cost effective and convenient, s<strong>in</strong>ce these whole-cell biocatalysts can be prepared simply by cultivation and recovered easily. 8.6 Conclusions and Future Prospects In recent years, biodiesel has become more attractive as an alternative fuel for diesel eng<strong>in</strong>es because of its environmental benefits and the fact that it is made from renewable resources. Used oils can also be utilized for mak<strong>in</strong>g biodiesel fuel, thus help<strong>in</strong>g to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment <strong>in</strong> sewerage systems and generally assist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> the recycl<strong>in</strong>g of resources. 80 For the production of biodiesel fuel, an alkali-catalysis process has been established that gives high conversion levels of oils to MEs, and at present this is the method that is generally employed <strong>in</strong> actual biodiesel production. However, it has several drawbacks, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g the difficulty of recycl<strong>in</strong>g glycerol and the need for either removal of the catalyst or wastewater treatment. In particular, several steps such as the evaporation of methanol, removal of saponified products, neutralization, and concentration, are needed to recover glycerol as a by-product. To overcome these drawbacks, which may limit the availability of biodiesel fuel, enzymatic processes us<strong>in</strong>g lipase have recently been developed. S<strong>in</strong>ce the cost of lipase production is the ma<strong>in</strong> hurdle to commercialization of the lipase-catalyzed process, the use of <strong>in</strong>tracellular lipase or cell-surface-displayed lipase as a whole-cell biocatalyst 47,48,75 is an effective way to lower the lipase production cost. Unlike <strong>in</strong> the case of extracellular lipase, these whole-cell biocatalysts can be prepared by simple cultivation and recovered easily. However, to utilize these whole-cell biocatalysts for <strong>in</strong>dustrial application, a high ME content of 90–95 % <strong>in</strong> many repeated methanolysis reaction cycles is required. One potential solution is the use of a whole-cell biocatalyst possess<strong>in</strong>g a non-specific lipase from a source such as C. antarctica 33 or P. cepacia 36 with<strong>in</strong> the cell or on the cell-surface, s<strong>in</strong>ce these lipases realize ME content of more than 95 %. Such a system could offer a promis<strong>in</strong>g prospect of realiz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>dustrial biodiesel fuel production. References 1. D.
