چکیده
Global threats of fuel shortages in the near future and climate change due to green-house gas emissions are posing serious challenges and hence it is imperative to explore means for sustainable ways of prevention the consequences. The huge need for sustainable energy has led to an increased interest in new energy resources, such as production of microalgae, for use as biofuel and its other application. There are various advantages to using microalgae, for example, land use is much less than in terrestrial biofuel production, and several algae species can double their mass in 1 day under optimized conditions. In this study, eleven microalgae sp were isolated from different location of Hamirpur (31.68°N 76.52°E) district of Himachal Pradesh state in India, and characterized by using some techniques i.e. Microscopic images, Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), for differentiate all microalgae sp morphologically and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques was used for potential of microalgae biofuel.

Production and characterization of biochemical properties of L-Asparaginase by indigenous yeast isolated from soil of Iran
Introduction: The use of L-asparaginase as a chemotherapeutic agent is an effective strategy for the treatment of leukemic lymphoblasts. Since the use of bacterial L-asparaginase causes side effects due to hypersensitivity reactions, search for new enzyme sources is one of the active research areas. In this study, the characterization of produced L-asparaginase by indigenous yeast strains was i...

Microalgae are indigenous source of phytochemicals potent of being used in medicinal applications and in numerous natural health products but the research reports on their phytochemicals are of less count than on seaweeds. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the metabolites in the growth phase of Chlorella vulgaris and Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and to determine the phytochemicals pr...
متن کاملMolecular Cloning and Characterization of a Lipase from an Indigenous Bacillus pumilus
Cloning and sequencing of a lipase gene from an indigenous Bacillus pumilus, strain F3, revealed an open-reading frame of 648 nucleotides predicted to encode a protein of 215 residues. Sequence analysis showed that F3 lipase contained a signal peptide composed of 34 amino acids with an H domain of 18 residues. A tat-like motif was found in the signal peptide similar to some other Bacillus pumil...
متن کاملA cost-effective strategy for the bio-prospecting of mixed microalgae with high carbohydrate content: diversity fluctuations in different growth media.
In recent years, widespread efforts have been directed towards decreasing the costs associated with microalgae culture systems for the production of biofuels. In this study, a simple and inexpensive strategy to bio-prospect and cultivate mixed indigenous chlorophytes with a high carbohydrate content for biomethane and biohydrogen production was developed. Mixed microalgae were collected from fo...
متن کاملRapid Characterization of Microalgae and Microalgae Mixtures Using Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization Time-Of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)
Current molecular methods to characterize microalgae are time-intensive and expensive. Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) may represent a rapid and economical alternative approach. The objectives of this study were to determine whether MALDI-TOF MS can be used to: 1) differentiate microalgae at the species and strain levels and 2) charact...
