  1. Strain was cultured in a 3 L fermenter with a glucose feeding and supplementation of malic acid at 30 °C with stirring at 500 rpm and aeration at 0.5 v/v min-1 for 120 h. The fatty acid composition was displayed at different point times. The values are means ± standard deviations of two independent experiments. ND: not detected.
