As a major contributor to primary productivity in the aquatic ecosystem, diatoms play an important role in the food chain. Because of their widespread distribution, they are common in aquatic environments. Diatoms are one of the most successful photosynthesising eukaryotic microorganisms today. Diatoms aren't merely a promising source of biodiesel. To properly employ them for biodiesel production, a detailed analysis of their ecosystem is required. Kengeri Lake was created in 1995 by the state forest agency. This lake's epiphytic Diatom flora and water quality indicators were studied. Physico-chemical characteristics measured throughout the experiment were water temperature (27.30.6°C), pH (7.20.11), and dissolved oxygen (1.80.21 mg/L). Diatom community structure studies in Kengeri Lake identified six genera, with Navicula being the most prevalent.
