Abstract
Algae are having enormous metabolic potential and diversity, which makes
them organisms of interest for exploring as bioremediation of environmental
pollutants as well as feedstock for biofuel production. Present investigation was
undertaken with the aim to isolate potential strains of microalgae having capacity to
remove heavy metals viz. Cadmium (Cd), Cobalt (Co), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni)
and Lead (Pb) from water and additional characteristic of high lipid production
efficiency.
