• Microbial engineering enables biologically emanated alternates concerning diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel. Butanol-producing strains are broadly classified into two different categories: the wild type and the genetically modified butanol-producing strain. Various genetic and metabolic engineering pathways have been integrated in the non-native butanol-producing strains. Many of the non-native hosts for butanol production are very advantageous as they require simple nutrients, grow rapidly, and are easy to manipulate because of their known genetic background, but all these conditions differ from strain to strain. Microorganisms that are metabolically engineered to switch renewable carbon sources to desired fuel products are considered as the best choice to obtain high volumetric productivity and yield. Butanol is confirmed to be an essential biofuel. Nowadays, it is produced by genetically modified organisms. It has been extrapolated from various analyses that the presence of bioinformatical data, omics data, and computational biology approaches make it easier to reconstruct non-native strains of microorganisms that produce the desired amount of butanol.
