Result of cultivation of Chlorella three strains, Chlorella ellipsoidea TISTR8260 Chlorella vulgaris var vulgaris TISTR8261 and Chlorella sp. TITS8262 growing in N-8 medium showed that Chlorella ellipsoidea TISTR8260 had the best growth performance according to the determination of delta log sub(2) OD and biomass which were 5.01 and 6.89 g/L respectively. The optimal condition for algae culture is 1:10 dilution of dairy farm wastewater with the addition of 500 mg/L sodium nitrate as the nitrogen source. They are cultivated under aeration condition and fluorescent illumination of 4,000 lux intensity (8-h light and 16-h dark). Chlorella ellipsoidea TISTR8260 gave 1.7 in delta log sub(2) OD and produced chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b of 2,635 and 2,221 mg/cubic m respectively with in 168 hours. To harvest the algae alum was used to flocculate. It was shown that the amount of 50 mg/l was bast flocculation for Chlorella ellipsoidea TISTR8260. The nutritional analysis showed the values of 55 percent crude protein 0.32 percent crude fiber and 4.5 percent ads by dry basis.
