Abstrak/Abstract |
The current study described the diversity of indigenous bacteria associated with microalgae consortium from Glagah Coast and its potential for biodiesel production through a batch culture system. Bacterial consortium associated with microalgae consortium from Glagah Coast was identified by cell morphology, gram staining and also biochemical using the BD BBL Crystal kit. They were identified as Corynebacterium ulcerans, C. bovis, Bacillus cereus, B. megaterium, Pediococcus parvulus, Staphylococcus vitulinus. The role of the bacteria was to support microalgae growth by supplying cobalamin, thiamine and biotin. Therefore, co-culture microalgae-bacteria consortium from Glagah Coast could be used as effective sustainable strategies to produce biodiesel derived from microalgae and also could reduce the cost of the production as the bacteria provide vitamin B for the microalgae. © 2018 Friends Science Publishers
