Abstract :
Microalgae are known for lipid production as source of biofuels. Chlorella vulgaris was studied in terms of biomass production and lipid content in N8 and SH4 media inoculated with cells grown in each of the two media. Observations revealed that for biomass production N8 medium inoculated with cells grown in SH4 medium is preferred. For lipid production N8 medium is also preferred, inoculated with cells grown in N8 medium.
