The present study deals with examination of steady two dimensional nanofluid containing both nanoparticles and gyrotactic microorganisms. Moreover the study comprises stagnation point flow of an obliquely striking nanofluid. The governing partial differential equations are complex and highly non-linear in nature. These are converted into system of ordinary differential equations using suitable transformations. The system is then solved numerically using shooting technique with Runge - Kutta Fehlberg method of order 5. Further, effect of different physical parameters on velocity f'(eta), temperature theta(eta), density of motile microorganisms w(eta) and concentration theta(eta) along with skin friction coefficient Cf local Nusselt Nu(x), Sherwood Sh(x) and density of motile microorganism Nn(x) numbers have been discussed through graphs and tables. Results depict that temperature, concentration, density of motile microorganisms and local Nusselt number are increasing functions of thermophoresis parameter N-t. Whereas N-t, contributes in lessening Sherwood and local density numbers.
