Abstract :

Lipid profiling by Thin Layer Chromatography is an effective method to differentiate between different species of same organism. Cyanobacteria are one of the most diverse groups of microbes that can be of numerous benefits to humans. It is important to identify or differentiate the species of interest from others. This study aims to differentiate between the nitrogen fixing and the toxin producing species of cyanobacteria by generating Thin Layer Chromatogram using different solvents.
