“…The increasing number of human populations is in line with the increasing needs of human life, e.g., fuel [1]. For almost a century, humans have been highly dependent on fossil fuels [2], causing the world economy to increase. However, this increase is inversely proportional to environmental conditions that are increasingly being degraded and experiencing a decrease in quality.…”

“…Microalgae are abundant in nature, can reproduce quickly and have excellent adaptability to unfavourable environmental conditions [8,9]. These characteristics support microalgae as potential renewable biofuels [10][11][12]. In addition, the contents of triglycerides and polysaccharides in microalgae are highly suitable for use as biofuels [12].…”

Microalgal isolates in various habitats have different biocomponents, and isolates found in the swamps of South Sumatra have not been explored deeply. This study was designed to analyse morphologically and isolate microalgae that have potential as biofuel candidates through their lipid content. Results showed that five isolates originating from four different sources in South Sumatra, namely, Chlorella vulgaris Beyerinck (DV 005), Dictyosphaerium granulatum Hindák (DV 003), Nannochloropsis sp. (DV 009), Scenedesmus bernardii G. M. Smith (DV 011) and Golenkinia radiata Chodat (DV 001), were identified. Amongs the five isolates, the C. vulgaris Beyerinck (DV 005) isolate had the highest lipid content (15.30%), indicating its potential as biofuel candidate.
