Chlorella vulgaris, a unicellular green alga, holds significant promise in various biotechnological applications owing to its robust growth characteristics and rich nutritional content. This study aimed to isolate and characterize Chlorella vulgaris strains from Bhagva Lake (Kala Talao), [Kalyan, Maharashtra] India an ecologically diverse freshwater body. The Chlorella vulgaris strains were recovered from water samples obtained from Bhagva Lake by a combination of microscopic inspection and various culturing procedures. Light microscopy was used for morphological characterization. According to preliminary findings, strains of Chlorella vulgaris were successfully isolated and identified. Chlorella species characteristics were revealed by morphological study. The isolated strain has potential use in biofuel production, wastewater remediation, and food and feed supplements. This study provides a foundation for further exploration of Chlorella vulgaris strain from Bhagva Lake, offering insights into their ecological significance and biotechnological potential. Future research endeavors may focus on optimizing cultivation conditions, enhancing biomass production, and exploring the diverse applications of Chlorella vulgaris in sustainable bioprocessing industries.
