Abstract: The present work was aiming to exploit bacteria for biodiesel prodn., twenty two bacterial isolates were screened for lipid content by Sudan black B staining method, among those three isolates is lipid rich viz, F. oryzihabitans, P. aeruginosa and Morococcus sp. which have been taken for lipid extn. by Bligh and dyer method and thin layer chromatog. for detn. of fatty acid, which revealed that the amt. of lipid was highest in Morococcus sp. (0.68mL/100mL) of Lauric acid (C12). Optimization of C/N ratio the amt. of lipid was ranged highest in Morococcus sp. i.e. carbon (0.70mL/100mL) of palmitic acid (C18), nitrogen (0.65mL/100mL) of arachidonic acid (C20) and at pH 7.0 (1.96mL/100mL) of oleic acid (C18) and in strain improvement by mutagenesis F. oryzihabitans got improved and accumulate high lipid at 10 min (1.50mL/100mL) of linoleic acid (C16).
