  1. Total lipid content was determined gravimetrically on the dry biomass, from WT and mutant cultures grown for 7 days in standard, nutrient-rich BG-11 medium at 1400 µmol photons m−2 s−1 25 °C, and then moved for further 4 days of growth in modified BG-11 medium with limiting N source. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, n = 4. Significant different values in oil content among genotypes (ANOVA test, p < 0.05) are marked with different letters
