Biodiesel from algae as an alternative fuel to conventional petrodiesel is getting much importance due to its renewable in nature and ecofriendly. An attempt is made to extract oil and fatty acid composition from algae. The maximum oil content (10.05 ±0.05) along with 14 fatty acids recorded in Nostoc elipsosporum and minimum oil content (2.2±0.52) with less number of fatty acids recorded in Pithophora by Gas Chromatography.
