FIG 2.

Mean lipid production rates for M. marburgensis (green), M. okinawensis (blue), and M. villosus (orange). Shown are lipid production rates for different species in micromoles per liter per hour based on endpoint measurements. A darker color represents a higher number (total numbers added) (“nd” means no detection). The standard growth conditions are highlighted in boldface type. The medium for M. marburgensis (65°C) (with and without carbonates) and the gassing ratio for M. okinawensis (65°C) and M. villosus (65°C and 80°C) (once per day [1/d] and twice per day [2/d]) were varied. The liquid volume (V) varied between 25, 50, and 75 mL in a 120-mL serum bottle. M. marburgensis was always gassed once per day, and there were no changes in the compositions of the M. okinawensis and M. villosus media in this study. T, temperature.
