depends on the identification of appropriate higher lipid producing algal strains. From
preliminary studies on lipid analysis for identifying algae, important fuel properties
of the algal oil can be predicted and compared with biodiesel standards. The simplest
method of assessing the fuel quality of biodiesel is predicting its fuel properties based
on the fatty acid composition of algal oil, thereby allowing us to ascertain the suit-
ability of selected algae strains for biodiesel production. The economical/technical
viability of microalgal oil-based biodiesel production depends on implementation of
the suitable technologies used in the downstream processing of microalgae.
