These isolates hold numerous potentials for value-added products. This work will be further
continued. It will also hold promise of using new native algal strains of great future.

CONCLUSION
The present research reveals altogether 21 isolates from Jim Corbett National Park. Most

dominant class was Cyanophyceae (9), Chlorophyceae (7), Trebouxiophyceae (2),

Eustigmatophyceae (1), Bacillariophyceae (1), and Klebsormidiophyceae (1). Algae isolated
from this region are of importance as they are local strains of JCNP. These strains will be

further subjected for value added products for increasing the commercialisation of algae

based products. These findings would bring much more insights into the vast potentials of
native local strains being used to derive various microalgae-derived metabolites that is

endured to be explored.
