摘要：Microalgae are reported as the potential resources to produce lipid from their biomass cell. The Botryococcus braunii strain was studied by using two media - BBM and 3N-BBM - and its potential for biodiesel production was established. The experiment was performed at room temperature, using fluorescent light at a photoperiod of 15/9h light and dark cycle. The duration of the experiment was 25 days. The biomass was evaluated by measuring dry weight, optical density, chlorophyll, carotenoids and total lipids. The received results showed that the maximum vegetative growth was reached after approximately 21 days of incubation. The maximum growth rate during this period was 1.84 g/l dry weight in 3N-BBM medium. The lipid content which we received from the examined strain was 25.2% in 3N-BBM medium.
