ABSTRACT- currently, microalgae have gained a lot of attention for their potential to produce lipids for biofuel production. For these applications, microalgae are cultivated in several different systems and the lipid productivity has been the main criteria for process selection. This study evaluates the potential of two differents microalgae (Aphanothece microscopica Nägeli and Chlorella vulgaris) cultivated photosynthetically in a bubble column photobioreactor for production of third generation biodiesel (3G). Results indicate that Chlorella vulgaris was the best strain to use as a feedstock for biodiesel production. A biomass productivity of 20 mg
