Table 1 Specific growth rate, biomass and lipid productivity of overexpression lines (OE-1 and OE-2) and wild-type (WT)

From: Dual expression of plastidial GPAT1 and LPAT1 regulates triacylglycerol production and the fatty acid profile in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

  1. aDetermined in the log phase. Specific growth rate and biomass were measured on day 4 while total lipid productivity and TAG productivity were determined on day 7. Each value represents the mean ± SD (n = 3). A significant difference between WT and OE lines is indicated at the p < 0.05 (*) or p < 0.01 (**) level
