Overview of P. renovo productivity and associated biomass composition, as a function of time. Alternating black and yellow bars depict the light-dark growth cycle. a Growth curves as a function of ash-free dry weight (g per L) and cell density (cells per mL). Areal productivity is shown for hour 6 to 30, representing one light-dark cycle (day). b The biomass content of lipid (as FAMEs), carbohydrate, protein, and the fraction of biomass not identified. c Carbohydrate speciation via hydrolysis of biomass. d Fatty acid speciation via fatty acid methyl ester analysis, representative of the lipid fraction of the biomass. All data points are an average of n = 3 biological replicates; error bars depict the standard deviation of the replicates
