The present study is aimed at finding out the impact of rubber industry effluent on the, amino acid and fatty acid contents of two cyanobacteria for the purpose , Oscillatoria salina and Micocystis aeruginosa were chosen as the test organism. Altogether 16 different amino acids and 24 different fatty acids were detected in both test organisms. Some of the amino acids and fatty acids found in control were not detected from the effluent grown cyanobacteria and vice versa. However, cyanobacteria grown in effluent recorded higher quantity of total amino acids and fatty acids when compared to control. The variation in their quantity and quality has been discussed.
