THE POTENTIAL OF LOCALLY ISOLATED MICROALGAE IN LIPID PRODUCTION

Microalgae is fast becoming a promising biofuel feedstock due to their high lipid content and fast growing rate. However, the prospect of using microalgae in biofuel production needs extensive research as its potential sorely depends on the type of strain. This study therefore focuses on locally...
