A Fully Integrated Process for Production of Biodiesel from Algae

Twenty one microalgae isolates were obtained from ten soil and fresh water samples collected from different localities in Egypt, and screened for their lipid content. Only one isolate, ALX-20 showed highest lipid content and ease cultivation, by cultivatiSelected microalgae strain was characterized as Pleurochloris pyrenoidosa. The growth of selected algae strains was investigated with the aim to obtain optimum conditions for biomass cultivation and for highest lipid content. The major positive impact on
