  1. Cultivations were performed in triplicate. Lipid yield was calculated as g lipids per g carbon source consumed, lipid content was determined gravimetrically by lipid extraction, lipid production rates were calculated based on lipid content measured by FTIR over time until the last time point before all carbon was consumed
  2. Values in one column with different letters (a, b, c, d) are significantly different from each other (p  < 0.05)
