ISOLATION AND SCREENING OF LIPID PRODUCING MICROALGAE AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE FOR BIOFUEL PRODUCTION: AN OVERVIEW Authors: Pathak JH And Shrivastav A*
ABSTRACT
Algae are a diverse group of aquatic organisms. It has the capability in alleviating the release
carbon dioxide and generate oil with a high productivity due to this it has potential uses to
produce biofuel. Algae are the major resource for the further generation as the most
appropriate and durable feedstock. Algal biomass producing biofuels are the most suitable
alternative fuels for the future as lipid accumulated from microalgal biomass within the cell
similar to vegetable oils with a capability to generate 100 times more oil in comparison to
other plants. Microalgae, as biomass, are an important source of renewable energy, further
they can be converted into energy such as biofuel oil and gas. This study examines the theory
involved in lipid extraction from microalgae. It also provides an assessment of totally
breakthrough in rapid developing field and reports of microalgae. Lipids are composed to
carry the conversion of biodiesel. Methods applied for the extraction of lipid from microalgae
are mechanical as well as chemical methods. This paper is a review of different methods used
for extracting oils are lipid from microalgal biomass for biodiesel production and also
provide an assessment of recent background in this rapidly developing field on suitable of
microalgal lipid composition from biodiesel conversation.
