Abstract

The potential of halotolerant algae isolated from natural resources was used to study CO 2 fixation and algal lipid production. Biological fixation of CO 2 in photobioreactor in presence of salinity is exploited. The CO 2 concentration 1060 ppm gave the highest biomass yield (700 mg dry wt/l), the highest total lipid content (10.33%) with 80% of CO 2 removal.
