Abstract: Given the increasing number of cases of water eutrophication and large quantities of naturally grown algae, this study collected algae for bioethanol production from a; eutrophic water body. The compositions of alga biomass collected from the eutrophic; water body are more complicated than pure culture. The saccharification technique is; also different from conventional.
