Study of the Fatty Acid Profiles at Different pH and Fatty Acid Methyl Ester Profiles of Cyanobacterial Strains
Abhay Anand
Abstract: The search for development of new technologies related to use of cyanobacterial cells for production of renewable sources of energy gained momentum during present day?s scientific world. Cyanobacterial lipids have potential commercial application as a source of renewable energy. The cellular fatty acids composition of cyanobacteria remain remarkable. Fatty acids are synthesized and then esterified to form complex lipid in cyanobacteria. The data observed during this study indicates that pH 6.5 remain suitable for palmitic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid. pH 6.5 remain most suitable for saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. But pH 8.5 remain most suitable for polysaturated fatty acids. Data observed related to fatty acid methyl ester profile indicates that maximum amount of monosaturated and saturated type of fatty acids are produced by Synechococcus sp. and polysaturated by Synecocystis sps. Fatty acid derived energy chemicals have many usages, thus active research attempts within the biofuel industry is required.
