Table 5 Percentage of fatty acids of T. obliquus under mixotrophic fed-batch treatments using 2 mL potato Peel hydrolysate incorporated every 2 days. Control: growth under nutrient sufficient medium, T3: low nitrogen (the AM lacked NaNO3 but contained 0.05 g L–1 of NH4Cl), T8: low sulphate (the AM contained 0.02 g L–1 of MgSO4.7H2O).

From: Improved neutral lipid production from Tetradesmus obliquus through fed-batch mixotrophic cultivation at high pH using potato peel hydrolysate
