Microalgae have emerged as a desirable source for biofuel production because of high biomass and lipid productivity from waste water sources. An efficient method for treating waste water, producing bioenergy and byproducts on a sustainable basis is to cultivate microalgae in waste water. The cultivation of Extracellular Polymeric Substance (EPS) production has getting more attention as a result of high hydrocarbon biosynthesis. In this context EPS were produced from Nannochloropsis species. To produce the most biomass and lipid production the microalgae Nannochloropsis species was grown under stress conditions. Further both lipid and biomass productivity was also recorded. The biomass characteristics are carbohydrates, proteins and lipids were determined by phenol sulphuric acid method, Bradford method and Bligh and dyer method.
