The algae are one among the biomass energy source which can be promising. The microalgae are the diverse organisms which can inhabit in different climatic conditions and adapt themselves and perpetuate forming their own niche. There is need to improve the local flora for biomass and lipid content instead of culturing exotic species. Chlorella the green microalgae, was isolated from fresh water and was characterized through molecular studies using 18s rRNA homology. The study has revealed that isolated species belong to Chlorophytes (green microalgae). The isolated species was further subjected to media optimization studies through Plackett-Burman which has revealed Urea being the highest positive effect of (7.6833) among seven variables (NaNO3, CaCl2, MgSO4, K2HPO4, KH2PO4, Urea, 2-4,D) R2 value of 93.16% and p value of 0.033(at 5 %) and K2HPO4 had a negative effect (-0.3833) for Biomass. NaNO3 had highest positive effect and K2HPO4 had least effect on the lipid content and R2 value of 61.14% and p value of 0.5788 (at 5 %) indicating the variables had less influence compared to Biomass. Further the variables which had highest positive effect on biomass and lipid will be selected for Response Surface methodology studies, aim will be to enhance both components in a single media, which will be the future scope of work.
