Embodiment 1

[0114] With the help of GoogleMaps TM , which looks for green spots in coastal waters, which can help us identify possible populations of floating microalgae. Some distinct green spots were found in the coastal areas of Goa (Madkai; 15°41.0616'N, 73°95.6227'E), Kerala (Vellanathuruthu Road; 9°01.6659'N, 76°52.5022'E), Bengal (PortCanning, 22°31.5577'N, 88°67.3307'E;, Dongajora, 22°13.2696'N, 88°60.2676'E; Haldiarefinery, 22°04.9408'N, 88°07.308'E), Diu (Nagoa Road Beside, 70□54.959'E, 20□42.391N) and Gujarat (Okha, 68□59.876', 22□23.975'). Ground-truth measurements were carried out at the sites identified in Diu and Gujarat, and indeed floating populations of green microalgae were found.

Embodiment 2

[0116] The algal populations of Example 1 were collected and observed under a microscope (Carl Zeiss AxioImager, 40x) for taxonomic identification. Both populations showed consortia of microalgae in which the Chlorophycae family predominated. The algae collected from 70□54.959'E, 20□42.391N had Microsporidium as the dominant form, while the algae collected from 68□59.876', 22□23.975' had Cladoides as the dominant form. Isolation of related species of the consortium was performed by using serial dilution methods. The seaweed algae were washed with distilled water to remove adhering dirt and impurities, and further centrifuged. Supernatants were collected and seeded in 24-well tissue culture plates with different media (BG-11, BBM, Zarrouk's, ASN-III, etc.). Serial dilutions were performed using a 1:10 dilution. Tissue culture plates were maintained at 25°C under artificial light (300 lux) with a 12 hour light and dark cycle. After visible growth, the enriched culture was st...

Embodiment 3

[0118] Naturally occurring populations of marine microalgae were selected from microalgae predominating at the site longitude 70°54.959'E and latitude 20°42.391N. The site was inspected regularly after 3-4 weeks to study regrowth of algal blooms. During the summer, the biomass production rate was 22.22g / m 2 / day and a total lipid content of 10%; during the monsoon, the biomass productivity was 6.03g / m 2 / day and a total lipid content of 9.61%, while in winter, 16g / m 2 / day biomass productivity and 12.85% total lipid content. This example teaches us that it is possible to harvest microalgal populations from nature in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

The present invention teaches the obtained instructions and method for producing engine-useable marine microalgal fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) using naturally occurring populations of marine microalgae and culturing marine microalgae in sun-dried salt pans in a cost-effective manner . The utility of by-product streams adds to the attractiveness of the present invention.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to the use of naturally occurring lipid-containing microalgae collected from the west coast of India for the production of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and demonstrates the suitability of the latter for common vehicle travel. The present invention also relates to the cultivation of readily harvestable lipid-containing microalgal biomass (cultured from Chlorella variabilis accession number PTA-12198) in sun-dried salt pans and its further conversion to FAMEs that can also be used in engines . Background of the invention [0002] Can refer to the article of Daemon Fairless, Biofuel: The little shrub that could–maybe (biodiesel: small shrub can-can be). Life Cycle Assessment), Environmental Science & Technology (2009) 43:17, 6475-6481, which highlights the complex issue of food versus fuel and emphasizes the need for such biomass sources that do not affect food production. [0003] See also D.H. Lee, Algal biodiesel e...
