Populations	µ (day⁻¹)	P_X (g l⁻¹ day⁻¹)	P_TAG (g l⁻¹ d⁻¹)	Y_TAG (g mol⁻¹)
Original	0.52 ± 0.08^a	1.03 ± 0.19^a	0.2 ± 0.02^a	0.16 ± 0.01^a
S5	0.48 ± 0.03^a	1.08 ± 0.08^a	0.4 ± 0.06^b	0.32 ± 0.03^b

	Starch (g g⁻¹)	Carbs (g g⁻¹)	Polar lipids (g g⁻¹)	TAG (g g⁻¹)
Original	0.25 ± 0.04^a	0.20 ± 0.04^a	0.07 ± 0.01^a	0.21 ± 0.02^a
S5	0.29 ± 0.01^a	0.19 ± 0.05^a	0.06 ± 0.01^a	0.30 ± 0.04^b

The kinetic parameters are: specific growth rate (µ), biomass productivity (P _x), TAG productivity (P_tag) and TAG yield (Y_TAG). All analyzed biomass components are expressed as relative to biomass dry weight (g g⁻¹ DW⁻¹). Error bars in the table indicate the standard deviation. Superscript letters represent the results of the statistical analyses between Original and S5. Different letters indicate statistical significance (ANOVA, p < 0.05)
