normal water as well as in arti cial media. Oil extracted
from harvested biomass of these algae was trans esteri-
ed to biodiesel using sodium methoxide as a catalyst.
It was found that properties of biodiesel so it can be
blended with fossil fuels or can be used individually as
an alternative of fossil fuels.
