Description 152-158
In the present study, microalgae were
cultured under indoor and outdoor systems with high density and biomass. Their
chemical analysis showed high lipid (28.2 and 21.6% respectively) and fatty
acid methylesters (FAME) content. Fatty acids such as palmitic acid (16:0),
oleic acid (18:1) and linoleic acid (18:2) were reported to be high in C. marina and S. costatum. S. costatum
is containing more eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Marine diatom, S. costatum is efficiently converting
the algal oil into biodiesel (87%) followed by C. marina which is produced the 70% of the biodiesel. Biodiesel
yield of presently studied marine microalgae was being comparatively higher
than that of existing oil crops. It is clearly implied that, marine microalgae C. marina and S. costatum were considered as a promising feedstock for biodiesel
production in near future.
