Effects of co-culturing E. gracilis with EG3 in first culture of a two-step E. gracilis biomass/lipid production system. a Biomass production rate of E. gracilis in second culture of two-step E. gracilis culture systems after co-culturing with EG3 and without (control) in the first step. b Lipid content of E. gracilis in second culture of two-step E. gracilis culture systems after co-culturing with EG3 and control. c Lipid production rate of E. gracilis in second culture of two-step E. gracilis culture systems after co-culturing with EG3 and control. Values are means ± SDs (n = 3). *Significant difference (p < 0.05) from control
