The values indicate the mean ± standard deviation (n = 3). Mean values within a column with different superscript letters (a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j) differ significantly and were determined statistically using Graph Pad InStat ver 3.10 software (One-way ANOVA, Tukey–Kramer multiple comparison test, p < 0.05). Separate analysis was done for each column. The wild type and mutants were grown on LAM containing 100 g L−1 WCO for 96 h. WT wild type, X biomass, L total lipid yield, Y L/X lipid/biomass yield coefficient, Q X volumetric biomass productivity, Q L volumetric lipid productivity. All yields were determined gravimetrically
