Co2 sequestration using microalga scenedesmus obliquus sa1 isolated from bio diversity hotspot region of assam

Abstract

Flue gases emitted from coal fired thermoelectric plants is responsible for up to 7 v v of global CO2 emissions about 10 15 v v of the flue gases emitted from the power plants being in the form of CO2 Increased CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is responsible for global warming and climate change The thesis focuses on the isolation and characterization of high CO2 and temperature tolerant microalga capable of sequestering CO2 from flue gas and subsequent cultivation of the microalga i
