The problem of two phase bio-convective nano fluid flow past a vertical stretching flat surface in presence of volume fraction of the dust particles has been investigated. Governing partial differential equations of the problem for both fluid and dust phases are transformed into ordinary differential equations using suitable similarity transformations. The resulting non-linear differential equations are solved numerically using MATLAB built-in bvp4c solver scheme. The velocity, temperature of fluid motion and concentration of micro-organisms are presented graphically for various flow parameters. Coefficient of local skin friction, local Nusselt number and local density number of the micro-organisms are calculated and presented in tables for various parameters.
