. Growth of Chlorella sp. IM-01 is studied in BG-11 nutrient media and wastewater
samples (inlet and outlet from primary treatment point designated as S1 and S2, respectively) at the
retention period of 4th and 10th day. In wastewater samples, better growth rate is found in S2 as
compared to S1. Biochemical analysis in terms of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids is also done at 4th
and 10th day. Biochemical analysis revealed that S2 has better prospect for biofuel production and
retention period of 4–5 days is sufficient. These finding suggest that use of such potential species not only
prove to deplete the water pollution levels but also act as energy feedstock for biofuels production.
