Cover Story: A new microalga, Scenedesmus rotundus-MG910488 isolate of Central India (Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, India), was used as an experimental organism for biodiesel production in this study. The strain is thoroughly characterized for growth and lipid content, which possess 33.30 ± 1.21% lipid content on dry cell weight in BG-11 medium, without optimizing any biotic or abiotic conditions. The biodiesel produced from obtained lipids was qualitatively estimated by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H, 13C NMR) and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), which indicate the presence of oleic acid methyl ester, linoleic acid methyl ester and palmitic acid methyl ester as the leading fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) in the samples, thus, making this strain an ideal feedstock for biodiesel production. View this paper
