The comparison of SmF-M0223 and AgSF-M0223. (a) Distincts of biomass, lipid and ARA yield, as well as fatty acid composition (b) and content (c) in dried cell weight (DCW) between SmF-M0223 and AgSF-M0223 (n = 3). (d) Biomass, total fatty acid content in DCW and ARA yield differences, as well as fatty acid composition (e) and content (f) in dried cell weight (DCW) of AH and SH in AgSF-M0223 (n = 3). Asterisk at the top of the error bars indicated significant differences between the two groups: * represents p ≤ 0.05, ** p ≤ 0.01, *** p ≤ 0.001, and “ns” denotes no significant difference. (g) Macro-morphological (Macro), optical morphological (Optical) and SEM-based surface morphological (Surface) distinctions between VH produced by SmF-M0223, and AH, SH and PH produced by AgSF-M0223. PA, palmitic acid. SA, stearic acid. OA, oleic acid. LA, linoleic acid. GLA, γ-linolenic acid. DGLA, dihomo-γ-linolenic acid. ARA, arachidonic acid.
