“…Several species of Chlorella from different climate zones are known for high quantity of lipids and biomass [23]. However, no reports are available on the biomass and oil-yield potentials of Chlorella lobophora, especially a local strain of the species that is quite common in bloomed water bodies of Kerala.…”

Green algae represent the fastest producible source of biomass that has diverse uses as biofuel, food, feed-stocks and the like. The biomass is rich in oils, which can be used as biofuel and the cultivation may be used to purify water as well. Productivity and quality of algal biomass depends on species and strains as well as environmental conditions of growth. Therefore, identification of new species and strains as well as standardization of media composition and environmental conditions for optimum yield of specific products, especially oil has a high relevance in algal technological research. In this connection, biomass productivity and oil yield of a local strain of Chlorella lobophora in BBM and modified BBM media are compared. Chemical characterization of the oil and feasibility of biodiesel production from the extracted oil is also assessed. Biomass productivity and the lipid productivity of the alga in both the media are found to be significantly different (P < 0.05). Fatty acid profiling of the oil extracted from the dried algal biomass using GC-MS analysis reveals that Palmitic acid (16:0) and Oleic acid (18:1) are the major fatty acids and nutraceutically important fatty acids are also present. The oil can be effectively transesterified to methyl esters. FTIR spectroscopy confirms the quality of the biodiesel produced. As the potentials of this local algal strain for biomass production and oil yield is confirmed, further standardization of environment conditions for better oil yield and quality biomass production is progressing to optimize its value as globally competent nutraceutical and biofuel resource.

“…The lipid content varies among strains. Since biodiesel is produced by the transesterification of lipids (mainly triglycerides) with methanol (or other alcohol), high lipid content is one of the desirable features for using microalgae as biodiesel feedstock (Xu and Hu, 2013). High specific growth rate depends on cell proliferation and it does not reflect the microalgae specific capacity for producing and storing lipids (Nascimento et al, 2013).…”
