ABSTRACT
In this work we described the cultivation of Chlorella vulgaris in a photobioreactor to algal biomass production. The dried biomass was used as feedstock for biodiesel production, it presented 26 percent lipids and via sonocatalysis stage of the methodology resulted in 60 percent of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The FAME content was confirmed by Gas Chromatography (GC).
