The biodiesel extracted from algae using chloroform/methanol extraction solvent system then undergone three different transesterification processes based on three different catalysts &lt;em&gt;viz. &lt;/em&gt;Alkali catalyst, Acid catalyst&amp;nbsp; and Enzymatic catalyst with&amp;nbsp; two temperature (50&amp;deg;C and 60 &amp;deg;C) and with 1:5 methanol to bio-oil ratio. After transesterification using different catalysts, the fuel properties were measured. All the properties were compared with standard value of ASTM D 6751 standards. Alkali catalyst yield highest biodiesel (92 %) at 60 &amp;deg;C temperature. Also, the closest value of different fuel properties found at par with standard value of ASTM D 6751 standards &lt;em&gt;viz.&lt;/em&gt; moisture content, carbon residue, calorific value, specific gravity, acid value, flash point, viscosity, density, viscosity were found to be 0.01%, 0.04%, 40.41 MJ/kg, 0.83, 0.23 mg KOH/g, 143.67 &amp;deg;C, 5.16 mm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;/s, 0.83 g/cm&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; respectively in the biodiesel which was yield by transesterification done using Alkali catalyst (0.56 % NaOH) at 60 &amp;deg;C temperature.&lt;/p&gt;
