description Microalgae are able to survive in highly competitive environment synthesized by diverse compounds from different metabolic pathways. Microalgae known as “cell factories” due to the potential for producing biochemical elements such as lipid, protein, carbohydrates, amino acids and free fatty acids derived from their primary and secondary metabolite. These elements may have potential economic impact in bio-energy, environmental remediation, food science, pharmaceutical industry and public health. The studies undertaken in this project are based on green microalgae species. The cell growth profile at condition (temperature: ~250C, pH: ~7.5, and light intensity) was established.
