Precocious Study of Micro Algae for Biofuels of Aundha Region Dist. Hingoli

R. B. Borse, Pathan A. A.

Abstract: A survey of microalgae biodiversity in Aundha region, identified, investigated for the production of a number of different biofuels including biodiesel, dried biomass, bio-oil and biogas. High oil yielding species abundantly distributed naturally in this region. The species were cultured in BBM and BG-11 media to obtain pure clones and biofuels extracted by the Bligh and Dyer method. Microalgae are photosynthetic microorganisms that grow rapidly due to their simple structure. They can potentially be employed for the production of biofuels in an economically effective and environmentally sustainable manner.
