Cell growth and lipid production of Mc-MT-2 as a function of the time when 0.8% malic acid was added to the culture medium. (A) Cell growth and lipid yield were measured at the end of batch fermentation when malic acid was added to the culture medium at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48 or 60 h respectively after inoculation. (B) Time course of lipid content with the addition of 0.8% malic acid at different times after inoculation. Values were mean of three independent fermentation experiments. Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
