Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how light microscopy can be used to identify three specific microalgal species (Nostoc, Anabaena, and Volvox) collected from freshwater bodies in Lahore.
- Various parameters of oil extraction from the microalgae were examined, including the impact of solvent ratio, algal biomass size, and contact time on the yield of extracted oil.
- Results showed that a higher solvent-to-biomass ratio, longer contact time, and smaller algal biomass resulted in better oil yield, suggesting the potential of microalgae for biodiesel production, although further research on transesterification is needed.
