  Enzymatic Transesterification using Immobilized Lipase in Production of Biodiesel from Nannochloropsis Oculata

  By Jiffy Paul. P, Sharmila Jesline, J.W Monisha Miria, L. M and S. Prakash

  Abstract: The microalgae have higher photosynthetic efficiency, higher biomass production and faster growth compared to other energy crops. The growth of Nannochloropsis oculata was enhanced in 300mg/l of nitrogen concentration and the optimum temperature for growth is 25â—¦C. 38% of microalgal oil was extracted and then converted to biodiesel by enzymatic transesterification using an immobilized lipase (triacyl glycerol acylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.3). In this study, expensive to produce biodiesel because of the …
