Abstract

Oleaginous microalgae with high biomass productivity, lipid content, and lipid productivity are desirable for sustainable biofuel production. Rapid and accurate quantification of lipid content facilitates the identification of promising microalgae candidates. In the present study, 8 freshwater microalgae species from four region in South Sumatera were isolated and identified based on their morphological. Their carbohydrate and lipid content were characterized and screened using Shoxlet method. Based on the morphological features, the cultures were initially identified as Spirulina sp., Microcystis sp., Scenedesmus sp., Dictyosphaerium sp., Straurastrum sp., Pandorina sp., Chlorella sp., and Ankistrodesmus sp. Total carbohydrate content from isolates found in the range 0,1 to 0,7% with the highest content of carbogydrate is Chlorella sp. Total lipid contentshowed prominent variation between all of isolates and found in the range of 3 to 15 % of DW with the highest level is Chlorella sp. Thus, our findings serve as a baseline data on the bioprospecting potential of isolates from freshwater region, an unexplored area of South Sumatera.d
