title: Synergistic Effect of Hormones and Biosolids on Scenedesmus abundans for Eliciting Total Biolipids.
abstract: This study states an integrated approach to grow Scenedesmus abundans in the presence of biostimulants as a robust flourishing organism pertaining to attain the maximum yield of the biodiesel through transesterification. These assessments are especially targeted to achieve the appreciable profit on biodiesel using three biostimulants such as, Indole 3-acetic acid (3 IAA), 6-Benzylaminopurine (6 BAP), and Gibberellic acid (GA) hormones. The proposed schema proved a rise in biomass; as well as lipid content, compared with an alga grown in the absence of hormones. The harvested S. abundans was exposed to many physio-chemical analyses for characterization of formulating microalgae cells. S. abundans cultivated in the 6-BAP hormone exhibit 2.17, 0.95, 1.745, and 15.6 fold increase in biomass, protein, carbohydrate and lipid content. Therefore, S. abundans was emphatically an apt species for the production of biodiesel.
