Table 5. Productivity levels and starch and lipid contents for axenic C. minutissima cultures grown with and without kanamycin.
Culture conditions | Biomass productivity (mg/L/d) | Lipid productivity (mg/L/d) | Starch productivity (mg/L/d) | Final lipid content (%) | Final starch content (%) | |
2 g/L glucose | No kanamycin | 117.2 (2.7) b | 16.3 (1.3) ab | 4.22 (1.93) c | 13.9 (0.8) a | 3.58 (1.57) c |
Kanamycin | 106.0 (4.8) b | 15.3 (2.6) b | 2.56 (0.79) c | 14.4 (2.2) a | 2.40 (0.65) c | |
10 g/L glucose | No kanamycin | 172.4 (2.6) a | 23.8 (0.9) a | 26.95 (3.07) a | 13.8 (0.4) a | 15.64 (1.77) a |
Kanamycin | 148.4 (15.9) a | 20.3 (4.6) ab | 10.59 (0.80) b | 13.6 (1.8) a | 7.16 (0.30) b |
Productivities are five-day averages. Mean values are followed by standard deviations in parenthesis based on three biological replicates. Within a column, values connected by the same letter are not significantly different at the 0.05 level.
