In the present study halophilic microalgae Dunaliella salina obtained from Sambhar Lake, Rajasthan was cultured under controlled laboratory conditions. The biomass recovered at the end of the exponential phase was 1.25g/l dry wt. and the oil was about 22.4 % of the biomass. The oil recovered was converted into biodiesel by acid-catalyzed transesterification and the yield was 60.18%. Some specific types of Fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) formed were identified by GC/MS analysis. A considerable amount is accounted for four fatty acids palmitic acid (19.6%), oleic acid (25.6%), linolenic acid (27.0%) and linoleic acid (18.4%) The presence of these major fatty acids in the microalgal lipid and their transesterification gives the lipid the characteristic properties to be used for biodiesel.
