Oil and fatty acid content in wild type and mutant Nannochloropsis oceanica cells. Total lipids were analyzed with the Bligh and Dyer method and fatty acid profile determined by GC quantification of FAME. High-lipid cells (HL1) show a phenotype enriched in these molecules compared with the wild type (WT) and with low lipid cells (LL1). a Percentage of total lipids in relation to the dry weight (DW) of the microalgae. b The main fatty acids present in these strains. c Classified according to their degree of saturation (SFA, MUFA and PUFA’s as % of total TAG’s). Asterisks indicate statistical significance (2-way ANOVA, multiple t unpaired tests, p < 0.05)
