Abstract
Escalating fuel prices, rising environmental concerns and dwindling stocks of fossil fuel have necessitated the exploration of viable alternative feedstocks. Biofuel from microalgae has been showing the prospects of a viable alternative to the conventional fossil fuels. This article assesses the prospects of biofuel from diatom consortia and also the bioremediation potential to treat the nutrient-rich aquaculture wastewater.
