Biofuel potential within chaetoceros species (bacillartophyceae) from coastal water of Pahang, Malaysia

Several marine diatoms have been known for their high lipid content. Chaetoceros is the largest genus of marine planktonic diatoms with approximately 400 species described. Lipid is important as primary storage for nutrient and essential for cell's growth and function. Nowdays, there are incr...
