Abstract

The northeastern region of India is a biodiversity hot spot rich in flora and fauna including green microalgae. The present communication deals with the synthesis of photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll-a & b and carotenoids) along with other value-added products such as total proteins and total lipids from the dominant sub-aerial, branched filamentous green microalga Trentepohlia aurea (L.) C. Martius belongs to the family Trentepohliaceae (Ulvophyceae, Chlorophyta).  The microalga was found growing naturally on the cemented walls near Bimal Singha stadium, Kailashahar, Unakoti Tripura, India. Fresh biomass was collected and evaluated for biochemical characterization. In light of our findings, the mean chlorophyll a:b ratio was 2.69 ± 0.03, while the chlorophyll: the carotenoid ratio was observed 1.99 ±0.08. The green microalga T. aurea could be a good source of biofuel, natural pigments, and other bioactive compounds which could be a boon for the food and pharmaceutical industries.
