Abstract
This study focused on the characterization of microalgae for bioenergy production and waste water treatment nutrient removal (from waste stabilization ponds). The dry biomass, lipid content and fatty acids in the microalgae were evaluated using centrifuge, Solvent extraction method and Gas Chromatography analysis method respectively. The Diatom numulloides sp with high lipid content and high productivity makes it suitable for future development by growing it in photo bioreactors to treat both municipal and industrial waste water and to produce biofuel making more benefits to human beings.
