Growth, Fatty Acid, and Lipid Composition of Marine MicroalgaeSkeletonema costatumAvailable in Bangladesh Coast: Consideration as Biodiesel Feedstock

Abstract: Among the various potential sources of renewable energy, biofuels are of most interest. Marine microalgae are the most promising oil sources for making biofuels, which can grow very rapidly and convert solar energy to chemical energy via CO2fixation. The fatty acid profile of almost all the microalgal oil is suitable for the synthesis of biofuel. In this research, fatty acid and lipid contents of Bangladeshi strains of marine microalgaeSkeletonema costatumwere performed. For this, the crude oil was extracted b… Show more

“…The highest lipid content of the Skeletonema sp.UHO29 found in our study was about 28.78% AFDW and this is comparable with other studies. For example, Sharmin et al (2016) reported the highest lipid content of Skeletonema costatum isolated from a Bangladesh coast of about 15.37%. Laurenco et al (2002) also reported lipid content of S. costatum ranging from 11.8 to 13.1% dry weight.…”

“…Even if we carefully removed epiphytes from their surface, microorganisms are still present and may contribute to the global metabolome of the specimens. For example, methyl stearate has been found in bacteria and plants but also microalgae, ascidians and macroalgae (De Rosa et al, 2001;Sharmin et al, 2016;Takeara et al, 2008;Terekhova et al, 2010) and is assumed to have antibacterial and cytotoxic activities (Elshafie et al, 2017;Takeara et al, 2008). The influence of species-specific microbial communities, which can produce minor compounds, may also explained the better result obtain by LC-MS in the discrimination of Lobophora species.…”
